Overview

This hiking tour lasts about eight hours and includes transportation from Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park. The group meets outside Denver Union Station by the large American flagpole before heading northwest through Boulder, a city known for its mix of urban life and outdoor activities. After a stop in Estes Park, the gateway town to the national park, the tour continues to the park itself. Once inside Rocky Mountain National Park, the guide selects a moderate trail of four to five miles based on current trail conditions, weather, and crowd levels. The hike allows time to observe mountain views and look for wildlife such as elk, raptors, and bighorn sheep. Microspikes are provided during winter and shoulder seasons for traction on snow or ice. The guides are experienced with mountainous terrain and prioritize safety, adjusting plans if necessary. Water refill is available, and a local certified hiking guide leads the group throughout the day. The tour concludes with a return to downtown Denver in the late afternoon. Lunch is included if arranged at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise, guests should bring their own or plan to purchase food during stops. Participants must bring their own winter clothing as coats, gloves, and hats are not supplied. The hike is at altitude and moderate in difficulty, so it is not recommended for those who do not exercise regularly. The minimum age to participate is eight years old.
