Unfortunately, due to the road closure, we were unable to reach the summit of the mountain, which was quite disappointing. The journey to the top was something we had eagerly anticipated, and it’s a shame we missed out on the breathtaking views we had heard so much about. Additionally, our hopes of spotting a variety of wild animals during the trip were also unmet, as sightings were far fewer than expected. Despite these setbacks, the trip offered us some unique experiences and memorable moments in nature, although it didn’t quite meet all our expectations. Next time, we hope to fully explore what the mountain has to offer, perhaps with better luck on our side.

The shear magnificence of the Rocky Mountains. Would have appreciated more dialogue of what we were seeing.

Jed was a fantastic guide. He shared some history (geological and human) of Colorado which was a good start, and had great food recommendations. We learned a great deal, saw some amazing sights, and had a great time with his dad jokes.
While we were eating lunch he even spent time searching for some elk for us to see and boy did he deliver!
Highly recommend - the Rockies are beautiful no matter who you go see them with, but it makes it so much better to have some context on what you're looking at and to have somebody else drive :)

Gentry was an excellent guide. We got lucky and saw all the animals and got to play in the snow which was awesome for us Texans.

The tour was pleasant and comprehensive. Took us from Denver up to Lyon (a small town near Boulder) then up on an extensive excursion up in the Rocky Mountain National Park. A big shout out to our guide Steve who was extremely kind and knowledgable - keeps us company with a lot of Colorado history and local knowledge, and plenty spots for photos, shopping and short walks (no extensive hiking). Thanks Steve, will recommend this to others, and if you get Steve - it’s your lucky day!
