Saved so much time.

Calla was amazing. She took us straight to the best places to check off our favorite things to see. We saw those things and even more. She was so fun, friendly, and fit right in with us. We learned so many things about the park that we didn’t know. More than worth it!!

Rocky Mountain National Park Hike

This was a great experience and I definitely recommend! Leo was our guide and he did an excellent job. The communication prior to the hike really helped us prepare well. We had a fantastic hike with Leo. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and let us hike at our own pace. The trail was perfect for us, even if it did challenge us quite a bit, we knew we were in good hands. 😊

A Peaceful Sunrise Experience in Rocky Mountain National Park

We visited Estes Park for the first time during Memorial Day weekend 2026 and decided to schedule a sunrise tour of RMNP since we were unfamiliar with the area. Sarah picked us up at Stonebrook Resort, where we were staying, at 5:10 a.m. Since it was early on Memorial Day, we did not need to pay an entrance fee or schedule timed entry into the park. Sarah took us up to Many Parks Curve and pointed out the numerous peaks in the distance to the northwest while describing various points of interest below. The sun rose quietly in the east, making the entire experience peaceful and beautiful. She drove us as far as Rainbow Curve, where the road was closed, then walked us farther up the road so we could take in additional views. Throughout the trip, Sarah shared local history, explained natural events over the past century that have shaped the park, and answered our many questions. We were also lucky enough to see several bull and cow moose near their calves, bull elk, bighorn rams, and even a Colorado pika. The tour lasted approximately three hours and ended back at our lodging. We highly recommend Sunrise Tours of Rocky Mountain National Park to anyone looking for a quiet, memorable experience of RMNP in all its natural beauty. Sarah was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and her insight, warmth, and familiarity with the park made the tour even more special.

No better way to experience the Rockies

I’ve been to the Rockies 4 times, but never experienced it the same way with Brad and Win as our guides. They really know the history of the park and where the wild life will be because they have been there and done that. A truly personal and delightful time!

Our girl group had the BEST time on our tour with Pam! We felt she had the perfect balance of fun and info, the bikes were great and the route was awesome! She stopped for elk, photo ops, to give us a heads up on road situations, and of course to give us info on the route highlights. Water being provided was a bonus. Would absolutely recommend Pam and this tour!!!!!! One of the most fun parts of our trip for sure!

Fantastic Ride

Great! Beautiful views and the tour guide Dan was full of great facts about the area and told some jokes along the way. He was so accommodating to every person on the trip. He even made sure to get a snowball for one of the passengers who had never been to the snow. I would recommend this trip for anyone.
