See and learn at RMNP from Brandon, an outdoor enthusiast and Estes Park local.

5.00Brandon, a local outdoorsman (hiking, skiing, biking etc) picked us up from our cabin and took us on a great four hour tour. His SUV was well appointed with water and snacks. Brandon’s education in geology and forestry was a plus as we discussed the parks features. He also shared the history of the park and the surrounding areas. We saw Elk, deer, trout and other wildlife. He took abundant pictures. He is a nice guy and a great tour guide. I would highly recommend.
Awesome tour...awesome guide!

5.00Brandon was amazing! His knowledge on a wide variety of topics was impressive, and we loved how he tailored the tour to our interests and fine-tuned it based on things that came up in our conversation along the way. Turns out I only THOUGHT I knew a fair amount about RMNP.
Awesome tour that Brandon customized as we went!

5.00Brandon is very knowledgable about the Rocky Mountain NP. He is an excellent guide and made it a very fun 1/2 day of learning. He was kind enough to give me spots on the map to take my wife the following day. She was unable to go on the tour due to a bout of altitude sickness. She was recovered enough the next day to enjoy the park and special places he had mapped out. I was able to get her to the Top and visit the Tundra. Thank you Brandon.
Fun day with Brandon! Highly recommend him for your ne t tour!

5.00Brandon was a wealth of knowledge and a great guide. We saw so much of the park! We were picked up and dropped back to our hotel, so convenient. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Excellent First Day Tour

5.00We would highly recommend this as a first-day tour in the park. Brandon was our guide and took us all over the eastern side of the park, giving us guidance on where and how to enter the park, where to park, hike and so on. This was our first time to RMNP, and the guidance given was invaluable, helping us to have a truly remarkable experience in our following days in the park. Brandon has a passion for RMNP and spoke extensively on his knowledge of the terrain, plants and wildlife in the park. Again, highly recommend this as a first day in the park tour if this is your first time visiting RMNP.
Really wonderful...

5.00This was such an amazing experience! Our guide, Brandon, was so great! He is very knowledgeable in all things RMNP - animals, plants, birds, ecosystem, history of the park. I had originally thought about driving ourselves around the park but so glad we didn't! They provided a nice selection of snacks, soft drinks, water, complimentary water bottle, even had binoculars to use! All this in a private, air-conditioned, comfortable car. I can't recommend them enough!!!
Exceptional Guide and amazing views

5.00This experience should really be rated over 5 stars. Brandon was our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park, the surrounding, area, and all of its ecosystems. We feel smarter just being with him for 4 hours. Lol! The tour consisted of driving and some walking. For us this was helpful to get the lay of the land so we could venture on our own the rest of the week. This tour was money well spent. On another note; I dropped a wooden cross in the car that I carry in my pocket. The day after the tour Kerry , one of the the owners, called to ask if I lost a wooden cross. She said she thought it looked like it was of importance. And it sure was. I carry it to remind me who I belong to and it is from my friend that is battling breast cancer. They were kind enough to even drop it off at our cabin. We areso grateful to have such thoughtful people as our guides.
