About this event

Rocky Mountain National Park is a beautiful place where gorgeous mountain vistas greet you around every corner, but it’s easy to forget about the unique plant and animal inhabitants that make this area so special. Join our naturalist guide on a 14-passenger minibus as we visit iconic locations and seek out the interesting critters of RMNP. Spend the afternoon at some of the park’s most breathtaking locations, including Horseshoe Park, the Alluvial Fan, Moraine Park, and more, learning about the wildlife that make this region so fascinating. Leave the driving to us while you sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic of Rocky!

This tour is approximately 3 hours in length and is suitable for all ages. All required park entrance fees and permits are included in your registration.

When: Thursdays in June, July, and August, departing at 2:00 p.m. Approximate return time is 5:00 p.m. Our return may be delayed due to traffic conditions in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Where: This tour departs from and returns to the Fall River Visitor Center. Look for the marked Rocky Mountain Conservancy vehicle in the parking lot. Your guide will meet you at the vehicle.

What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, an extra jacket or sweatshirt, and a bottle of water and a snack, if desired. A camera and binoculars are also nice to have along.
