Without a guide, the forest can seem like a frightening place, full of unmarked trails, nefarious animals, and pushy dryads selling deciduous timeshares. Avoid woodland woes with today's Groupon: for $33, you get a choice of Rocky Mountain National Park tours from Green Jeep Tours (a $65 value). Choose one of the following tours: The Falls, Bear Lake, The Ranch, or Holzwarth Ranch.

Green Jeep Tours' steely steeds gallivant through Rocky Mountain National Park, unveiling sweeping panoramas and a wide array of wildlife. Friendly and knowledgeable guides introduce a Gaia's yearbook of elk, big horn sheep, and deer on The Falls tour, which cruises a dirt path past nearly 30 waterfalls and reaches an elevation of more than 12,000 feet. The Ranch Tour invites fresh-air-seekers onto a 1,000-acre, 19th-century homestead and occasionally allows guests the opportunity to snap shots of bears as discreetly as Goldilocks' private investigator. Bask in the beauty of the Bear Lake tour, an open-air jaunt through aromatic meadows before hiking a mile around glistening Bear Lake, where tourgoers can catch a glimpse of the infamous bear-shark. Holzwarth Ranch is a historic dude ranch built in the 1920s that can only be accessed by crossing the Continental Divide and setting a Slinky off the side of the mountain.

Each sightseeing expedition lasts about 3–3.5 hours and includes admission to Rocky Mountain National Park. A brief hike in the area also breaks up each tour. Knowledgeable chaperones expound upon the park's history and fauna from a cozy, open-air Jeep Rubicon, which allows shutterbugs to capture the park's stunning vistas in comfort. Picnic lunches are available at an extra cost.
