TOUR DETAILS
Our pricing is per person, and children aged 16 and under tour at no additional cost.
All tours take place in Rocky Mountain National Park. We avoid the busy areas of the park such as Emerald Lake.
You can expect a minimum of 3–4 hours touring inside RMNP on our guided trips. Total distance covered and trip length on tour will vary based on physical fitness of your group.
If you’d like a longer trip, please contact us before booking. We’re happy to accommodate custom trip lengths. Your enjoyment visiting RMNP & Estes Park are our top priorities. We tailor each route and plan to suit your group—whether it’s all adults, families with kids, corporate outings, or a mix.
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all excursion. Personalization is at the heart of everything we do. This means all ages and capabilities are welcome on our tours.
All tours are private unless weather has caused a reschedule for another group.

WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING
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.
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 lightweight tops
Offers sun protection and warmth during early morning or sunset sessions. - 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 (optional)
- 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.
