This loop tour allows you to travel along one of the highest motorable roads in the United States. From the grassy meadows, we drive to the top of the Continental Divide, seeing some of the best vistas, lakes, wildflowers, and wildlife the park has to offer along the way. We provide an in-depth insight into the history and natural history of Colorado beginning about 75 million years ago and covering up to the present day. There will be many opportunities to see the flora (trees and plants), wildlife, historical structures, and expansive vistas as we make about 10-12 stops along this amazing journey. The goal of this tour is to provide a safe and educational experience not found in a guidebook. Note: Outside of summer and early fall, this itinerary will be modified depending upon the snow level and the conditions on Trailridge Road and Old Fall River Road.

  • Reviewer: Anne, July 2009 located in Boulder , Colorado
    "If you are planning a trip to Boulder Colorado, a day in the mountains with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides [formerly Boulder Wilderness Shuttle] is sure to make it an absolutely wonderful experience. Through his many years of guiding, Joshua possesses a wealth of knowledge about the outdoors, which he enjoys sharing and teaching to others. He puts a maximum emphasis on safety as well as happiness of his clients. His staff was professional and arrived on time to pick us up as scheduled. The shuttle van was clean, comfortable, and we had maps and books with trail descriptions at our disposal. We would highly recommend Boulder Wilderness Shuttle to anyone interested in spending a memorable day in the mountains exploring the Colorado Rockies!"
  • Reviewer: Pam, May 2010 located in New York
    "What a great Colorado vacation and trip. Justin went above and beyond with providing great instruction in fly fishing. He was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about fishing techniques and Colorado fishing. This was a great vacation and a much needed rest from the noise and action of New York City. I will tell all our friends about how great fishing guides you are."

For this tour, we depart Boulder, Dever in the morning and travel through the town of Estes Park into Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). For Estes park departures, we depart from downtown Estes Park and travel into Rocky Mountain National Park. After entering RMNP at the Fall River gate, we wind our way up Old Fall River Road to the alpine visitor center and then travel down the impressive Trail Ridge Road. Once back in the meadows, we make our way through Moraine Park to Bear Lake for spectacular views of Hallett Peak. After visiting Bear Lake we journey out of the park through the town of Estes Park and head back to Boulder or Denver via a section of Peak to Peak Highway to Allenspark. This part of the trip takes us past Lily Lake and the Twin Sisters, with Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker soaring to the West.
