Our most heart pumping Rocky Mountain National Park Tours are Hiking Tours. We depart Estes Park in the early morning to avoid crowds and thunderstorms. We can explore glacial valleys and lakes on trails from easy 2 mile round trip hikes, to very hard all day hiking tours to Rocky Mountain National Park's more remote lakes and summits on 10 to 15 miles of trail. Guided Hikes provide access and timing so you have a great time not having to worry about getting a parking spot, keeping the trail and along the way we will point out great features of geology, ecology, and nature along the way.
