Overview

Enjoy a beautiful day in one of America's most treasured National Parks! Allow our local guide to safely drive while you enjoy the views. Get out to See, Learn and Explore all the beauty the park has to offer, don't just drive past. Travel through the city of Boulder and the small town of Lyons on your way up to the park. Once inside the National Park enjoy a walk around a snow covered Glacial Lake, carved out and damned by glaciers long ago. Observe herds of elk grazing on rich grasses in Moraine Park. See incredible mountain and park views at Many Parks Curve. Witness the destructive force of Mother Nature while walking around an alluvial fan in Horseshoe Park. Visit the mountain village of Estes Park and have lunch on your own in one of the many restaurants or cafes, stroll the river walk and enjoy souvenir and boutique shopping and visit the Historic Stanley Hotel.
Special Note: Wildlife viewing likely but not guaranteed.
