Udflugt i Rocky Mountain National Park
Beskrivelse
Udforsk høje alpine toppe, høje tundraer og Colorado's mest berømte nationalpark – alt sammen på én ekspertguidet dag. Begynd din rejse i Boulder, indrammet af de ikoniske Flatirons, før du rejser ind i bjergene mod Estes Park, porten til Rocky Mountain National Park. Besøg det historiske The Stanley Hotel, omgivet af vidunderlig udsigt over bjergene, før du fortsætter ind i parken, hvor alpine søer, vildblomster om sommeren og gyldne aspener om efteråret skaber et levende, konstant skiftende landskab. Rejs i komfort med en professionel guide, der bringer landskabet til live med historier om parkens historie, geologi, flora og fauna. Fra panoramaudsigt til højderne af Trail Ridge Road, oplev Colorado på dets mest spektakulære, før du vender tilbage gennem foden af bakkerne - et uforglemmeligt Rocky Mountain-eventyr.

Skjult i de forsigtigt rullende foden af Colorado ligger den lille by Lyons, en under-radar-eventyrdestination og den uofficielle "Double Gateway to the Rockies." I årtier har tusinder af mennesker passeret gennem den lille by på vej til den østlige indgang til Rocky Mountain National Park, som kan fås via to naturskønne 30-minutters ruter, der begynder i Lyons.
Stanley Hotel, berømt for sin inspiration til bogen og filmen “The Shining. Nogen tid i 1974 tilbragte horrorforfatter Stephen King og hans kone Tabitha en nat på Stanley Hotel. På det tidspunkt kæmpede King med Darkshine som arbejdstitel for sit seneste projekt.

The van had maintenance issues (flat tire) so it was late picking us up but the guide/company was communicative with the group about the delay and gave a discount for the inconvenience, still providing the full 8 hour excursion. The trip itself was absolutely amazing! Eric got us out of the hot Denver heat (100 degrees) and into the cool mountain air, beating the crowds at each of our stops. He helped our group feel comfortable with each other and enjoy the day together. We were able to see some gorgeous deer with full majestic antlers, does and chipmunks. At the tallest point in the Rocky Mountain National Park that we visited, we spotted a colony of pika (Ochotona princeps) that were unusually active at about 2pm. They were SO ADORABLE with their cute little ears! Eric's knowledge and description of the environment and the history really added to the experience. If we traveled independently, it wouldn't be the same. With the 8 hour tour, our phone batteries were running low and he allowed us to charge them from the van which was super nice! At the end of the day, we airdropped our pictures to each other so we all got the best of the best, no matter which side of the van we were on! Breathtaking experience!
David was great Had a wonderful time
Fantastic tour day with David from Explorer Tours. He was not only knowledgeable about the national park we were visiting (and all the side quests) but also all the national parks in nearby states. Would definitely recommend.
Robert was our outstanding driver AND guide. He not only had safety as a number one priority, he provided a wealth of information as he drove. He did not ever look at a note. He has much knowledge and quick recall.
What a great way to see around Denver and learn about the Rocky Mountains. We loved seeing The Stanley Hotel! I would recommend this trip for first time Rocky Mountain visitors. This is a great tour to take when you first get there because then you will be able to decide, where else you wanna go for the rest of your trip. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and kept us entertained throughout the day. The lunch that was provided was absolutely delicious. Having a tour guide driving you around the mountains is beneficial because you’re able to enjoy the view more while not having to worry about driving. Again, our guide was great and I highly recommend this tour.
Robert was a wonderful tour guide. Knowledgeable of all things in the area. He ensured lots of stops were in the itinerary for photos, restrooms, and took the scenic routes. Overall a wonderful day
Great tour. Eric our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful
This tour was fabulous!! Saw a moose, deer, many elk and the sceneries were breathtaking. Brian our tour guide was fabulous! He had so much knowledge everywhere we went and was so considerate of everyone.
Brian was amazing. Some guides talk way too much but he was perfectly balanced with good information but not overdoing it. The trip was gorgeous! Definite recommend.
A tour for those who do not want to drive on the winding and crowded roads of this National Park and/or have little time to express it.
