Of course, no adventure is complete without a few dad jokes to keep the mood light! We brew fresh coffee/tea at our halfway point on every trip, and hot chocolate if requested.

After booking, we’ll connect via phone or email to discuss your desires—whether it’s focusing on wildlife, capturing an awesome group photo, or summiting a mountain.

The RMNP vehicle entrance fee ($30) AND the park timed entry fee needed in the summer are both included.

Preparing for a guided hike in Rocky Mountain National Park starts with having the right gear—especially when you're traveling with family. At Estes Park Tour Guides, we keep things simple and affordable so everyone can enjoy the mountains with confidence. Whether you’re joining us for a family-friendly hike, a group adventure, or one of our signature experiences, this packing list includes the essentials that make your time on the trail safe, comfortable, and memorable.

These recommendations come from years of guiding guests of all ages in RMNP, and they’re designed to work for every season, every trail, and every skill level.

Snowshoes + Trekking Poles included in every tour.

Here’s what we suggest bringing on all guided hikes(winter and summer):

• Hiking boots or supportive trail shoes
  (No open-toe sandals. Good traction is essential for uneven terrain.)
• Long-sleeve tops
  Offers sun protection and warmth
• Lightweight hiking pants
  (Avoid jeans if possible; they get heavy and restrict movement.)
• Fleece jacket or insulated vest
  Mornings and evenings cool down quickly at altitude.
• Beanie / warm hat
• Lightweight winter gloves (optional)
  Great for sunrise shoots when handling cold camera gear.
• Waterproof rain jacket or poncho
• Any personal medications you may need

If you have questions about equipment, weather, or what to expect on the trail, we’re always happy to help. We want you to feel prepared, confident, and excited for your tour in Rocky Mountain National Park.
