This all day trip was awesome and well worth the cost. My wife and I booked this last minute while in Denver at a work convention. I had some concerns about taking a van ride as i can get motion sickness and also use the restroom frequently! The van was comfortable and the trip makes PLENTY of stops and every stop has a restroom. So if this is a concern, don't worry about it! Matt, our tour guide was excellent. Very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. The scenery and sites were breath taking and it DOES not require a lot of walking or hiking (if you don't want to), so also do not worry about that. We had a mix of young and old on our tour and everyone got the full experience. The lunch provided was hearty and delicious as well. This last minute trip was the highlight of our work trip. 5 stars!

This adventure into one of America’s most treasured National Parks is a must-do while in Colorado. We maximize your time in the park to see and do as much as we can. You'll take a short walk to a beautiful waterfall. Discover fragile alpine tundra and see incredible rocky mountain views as you travel for 11 miles above timberline along Trail Ridge Road while reaching an elevation of 12,183 feet. Multiple stops and short walks to photograph and take in the breathtaking views. Enjoy a picnic lunch while surrounded by pristine mountain scenery. Observe a variety of wildlife including herds of grazing elk and yellow-bellied marmots.  Visit the quaint mountain village of  Estes Park and explore the souvenir and artisan shops. Visit the Historic Stanley Hotel if interested. See Learn and Explore all Rocky Mountain National Park has to offer, don't just drive past.
