This trip was amazing! Stephen is very knowledgeable, he showed us special places in Lyons and Estes Park and beautiful nature around the national park. We were even able to see two packs of elks and several deers! Thanks Stephen! Sandwich lunch and cookies were delicious!

This is a nice itinerary with a nice tour company and tour leader to admire the beauty of RMNP plus the iconic Stanley Hotel in a day. I had much pleasure in this trip even though the van broke down but the company dispatched a new van to us to proceed further journey and was partially reimbursed for the incident without request. Wildlife were viewed along the way. The lunch was delicious. Thumbs up!
