11.Half-Day RMNP Mountains to Sky Tour-RMNPhotographer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 3h 30m · from $129

Meet your RMNPhotographer guide at Coffee on the Rocks in Estes Park for a 3.5-hour private tour through Rocky Mountain National Park. Ride Trail Ridge Road to 12,183 feet, visit the Alpine Visitor Center, and stop for wildlife and photos. Your guide can drive your vehicle if requested. Leah and Dave are among the guides who have led this experience.

“Leah was a great guide for the tour. She is very knowledgeable about the park and its history, friendly and considerate of her guests. The park is beautiful even with some liquid sunshine during the experience. We started at noon so animal watching was slim at first but near the end we watched a 12 point elk rubbing off his velvet while destroying the bushes he was using. Then we saw a large herd of elk in the meadow on the move, and later another large herd mostly lying in a grassy field near the road. We really enjoyed our visit and tour.”
