What are people saying about Estes Park

Fun Tour

We enjoyed the Jeep tour with our operator CE through Rocky Mountain National Park. We learned history about the Stanley family, the flood of Estes Park, and we saw many animals throughout our beautiful tour. He was friendly, interesting, and fun to tour with. We’d recommend the tour to others.

Our tour guide was fantastic from start to finish. Their knowledge was impressive and really added depth to the experience.

Excellent tour

Looking for something to do, so booked this trip the night before. Picked up at our hotel on time. Vehicle was roomy, quiet and clean. Guide, Bruce, was very knowledgeable. Took us around the park avoiding areas that another booked trip would take us. This was by far the best tours we had during our stay in Estes Park.

Sunrise Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park

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.

Kerrie_K, Oct 2025

Exhilarating and picturesque

The "off road" experience is exhilarating! The views are breath taking! There is rock climbing, bumps that will lift you off your seat and speed. The tour guide does check in with you to make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying the tour. There are stops along the way with opportunity to take photos, restroom break, and complimentary snacks and water. I highly recommend Joe as your tour guide!

Highly recommend!!

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.
