Description
This loop tour allows you to travel along one of the highest motorable roads in the United States. From the grassy meadows, we drive to the top of the Continental Divide, seeing some of the best vistas, lakes, wildflowers, and wildlife the Park has to offer along the way. We provide in-depth information on the history and geology of Colorado beginning about 75 million years ago and covering up to the present day. There will be many opportunities to see the flora (trees and plants), wildlife, historical structures, and expansive vistas as we make about 10-12 stops along this amazing journey. The goal of this tour is to provide a safe and educational experience not found in a guidebook.
Trip Details
Itinerary: For this tour, we depart Boulder, Denver in the morning and travel through the town of Estes Park into Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). For Estes park departures, we depart from downtown Estes Park and travel into Rocky Mountain National Park. After entering RMNP at the Fall River gate, we wind our way up Old Fall River Road to the alpine visitor center and then travel down the impressive Trail Ridge Road. Once back in the meadows, we make our way through Moraine Park to Bear Lake for spectacular views of Hallett Peak. After visiting Bear Lake, we journey out of the park through the town of Estes Park and head back to Boulder or Denver via a section of Peak to Peak Highway to Allenspark. This part of the trip takes us past Lily Lake and the Twin Sisters, with Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker soaring to the West.
