Enter Rocky Mountain National Park
via Lyons and Estes Park
Meet your guide in front of Denver Union Station and depart in an air-conditioned van. After a scenic drive through Lyons, pass through the gateway town of Estes Park on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park. Inside the park, spend about 6 hours visiting overlooks and trails, with time for photos and wildlife viewing.
Look out over alpine scenery from Trail Ridge Road

Drive up Trail Ridge Road and enjoy views above the tree line. Pause at the panoramic overlook at Many Parks Curve, a sharp bend in the road, and spend about 40 minutes at the Alpine Visitor Center.
Walk Horseshoe Park and enjoy a picnic lunch

Head to Horseshoe Park to see the alluvial fan, formed naturally by material deposited by water. Follow several short trails across meadows and past waterfalls, alpine lakes, and fragile alpine tundra while looking for elk, deer, and other wildlife. Take a break from hiking for a picnic lunch of about 40 minutes with towering mountain views.
Visit the Stanley Hotel and Estes Park

On the way back, explore the Stanley Hotel on your own for about 20 minutes, famous as the inspiration for Stephen King's novel "The Shining." Browse the galleries and shops of Estes Park, then pass through Boulder County back to Denver Union Station.
※ Some stops (Lyons, shopping in Estes Park, Boulder County, etc.) are optional depending on local conditions, and the itinerary may change.
