Sunrise Tour door Rocky Mountain National Park

You need to get there early to see the sunrise but it is well worth it. Views were amazing. Great experience.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It’s well worth every penny. We got so much more out of the trip, than just seeing the sunrise, which was amazing. Bruce is so knowledgeable about the environment, park history, eco system and just a nice man. And he gave us advice on trails. My husband and I completely enjoyed our tour of the beautiful RMP.

Bruce is an amazing human being and a wealth of knowledge. He is so pleasant to be with and made our tour so memorable and interesting. We did the sunrise tour and it did not disappoint for a minute. Every stop, every turn on the road was fascinating and filled with amazing information. We highly recommend any tour with Bruce.

We visited Estes Park for the first time during Memorial Day weekend 2026 and decided to schedule a sunrise tour of RMNP since we were unfamiliar with the area. Sarah picked us up at Stonebrook Resort, where we were staying, at 5:10 a.m. Since it was early on Memorial Day, we did not need to pay an entrance fee or schedule timed entry into the park. Sarah took us up to Many Parks Curve and pointed out the numerous peaks in the distance to the northwest while describing various points of interest below. The sun rose quietly in the east, making the entire experience peaceful and beautiful. She drove us as far as Rainbow Curve, where the road was closed, then walked us farther up the road so we could take in additional views. Throughout the trip, Sarah shared local history, explained natural events over the past century that have shaped the park, and answered our many questions. We were also lucky enough to see several bull and cow moose near their calves, bull elk, bighorn rams, and even a Colorado pika. The tour lasted approximately three hours and ended back at our lodging. We highly recommend Sunrise Tours of Rocky Mountain National Park to anyone looking for a quiet, memorable experience of RMNP in all its natural beauty. Sarah was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and her insight, warmth, and familiarity with the park made the tour even more special.

Bruce was fantastic. Picked us up at our hotel at 5:30 in the morning and drove us through the park where we visited Dream Lake, Bear Lake, and Sprague Lake. He even provided spikes for shoes and poles. Very very knowledgeable at the park. We were there off-season, and he provided us very valuable information that prevented us from having to wait in a two hour car line to get into the park the day before. Highly recommended!

Wouldn’t change a thing! The place in itself was awesome! So comfortable and peaceful- beautiful layout!

This was our favorite part of our Colorado vacation. Bruce drove us to parts of the park we had not been to yet. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining. We stayed in the Bear Lake Road area after the tour and were able to see both Moose and Elk up close, too. I highly recommend this tour. You won't regret it!

This sunrise tour with Bruce allowed us to see the Rocky Mountains through fresh, educated eyes. His knowledge and insights enhanced the experience immensely. Highly recommend!!

Bruce our tour guide was very informative. He knew of all the best places to take us to see wildlife. We would recommend him and will plan another trip with him to a different location in the future.

Bruce is a knowledgeable, personable and fun guide. He took my husband and I to all the great spots to capture a Sunrise in Rocky Mountain National Park. We learned about the ecosystem and the ways of nature and what to look for.
