The Rocky Mountain National Park Safari Tour
Description
Let our experienced local guides bring the wonders of Rocky Mountain National Park to life with engaging stories and expert insights from start to finish. Your journey begins in historic downtown Estes Park, at an elevation of 7,500 feet, and winds through lush meadows, shimmering rivers, aspen groves, and alpine lakes. In summer and fall, we venture into the alpine tundra above 12,000 feet, traveling the historic Old Fall River Road (accessible after July 4) and the scenic heights of Trail Ridge Road (weather permitting). There will be multiple stops along the way up to the Alpine Visitor Center and stops along the way back down. If conditions prevent access to certain areas, don’t worry—we’ll explore equally stunning parts of the park to ensure an incredible experience. Ride in comfort in our iconic Green Jeeps, which seat up to 10 guests. For larger groups, we’ll divide you across multiple vehicles to keep the adventure personal and connected.

"Located off the road to Endovalley, the Alluvial Fan is a beautiful cascade of water flowing down through a boulder field. Reconstructed in 2020, the trail to the Alluvial Fan was designed to be fully accessible. From the west, this path meanders up to a 56-foot bridge crossing the Roaring River, offering access to the east side of the Alluvial Fan. Hikers of all abilities can enjoy breathtaking views of the Mummy Range, Horseshoe Falls, and Endovalley." -NPS

We had a excellent guide he was very knowledgeable of the mountains and the animals large and small and very courteous
Michael our guide was amazing. He made the tour fun and exciting. He was very attentive to our needs as a family. I think he made the tour an "Over the Top" experience.
Tour was great and Jen our tour guide was outstanding!!!! One of the highlights of our trip. Thank you.
Make sure to wear sunglasses, long pants, and a sweatshirt and/or coat (windbreaker) with a stocking hat. It gets cold when you go up the mountains. But the trip is worth it. Breath taking views. Mother Nature at her best! Our guide James was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. We lost a cellphone along the way and he located it alongside the road while driving. Tour guide of the year! He went above and beyond for our tour for scenery and wildlife. Thank you James for a memorable tour.
There were 9 of us in a open air jeep. We were taken to various points of interest in the park our guide, Pete, was very knowledgeable and drove safely in the park. The scenery was spectacular! Pete was very patient when some of us wanted to hike to 12.004 feet which made us a little late. This is the way to see the park! A very memorable experience!
This experience is poorly labeled. What we booked thinking was a chance to see animals on trails we would not otherwise be able to access was actually the exact same roads all other tours (and even just people visiting the park) drove on. Our guide (Sam) was really great. He was kind and interesting and really the only reason this review is 3 stars instead of less. If you are looking for someone to drive you up the Rockies and tell you some cool facts - this is the (very expensive) trip for you. If you are looking for a safari - look elsewhere.
Very informative. Nice way to see the park with guide and you get to sit back and relax and let someone else do the driving. We had a wonderful time.
Nick Wagner was knowledgeable and helpful. We were supplied snacks and blankets since it did get colder at the higher elevations of the mountain. He pointed out several animals along the way.
We had an awesome trip with Green Jeep Tours. Our guide, Jennifer, was so knowledgable and made the trip so much fun! This is the best way to tour Rocky Mountain National Park.
Dress in layers. It gets colder as you climb in elevation. The guides are helpful with pertinent information about the park and wildlife.
Thank you for your review. Yes, the higher the elevation, the cooler the temperatures. We recommend jackets in the summer, and the guide will bring along blankets for you to use. Our jeeps also have extra heaters installed in the passenger area for your comfort.
