Estes Park Tour Guides

About

Sunrise in the Park means leaving town in the dark, and that is the trip Estes Park Tour Guides is known for. The office on Big Thompson Avenue opens early enough for it, and the hike is planned around the group, whether that means an easy walk to a lake or something longer. Expect a headlamp start.

Hiking is most of the business. Guides are knowledgeable and personable, and routes are tailored rather than run off a script, with wildlife viewing and photography spots worked in. Winter brings snowshoe trips and walks across frozen lakes, so the company stays busy when the rest of town slows down. Longs Peak and group hikes for nine or more are on the menu too.

Beyond hiking there is fly fishing with lessons, stargazing and astrophotography, e-bike and food and drink tours, and portraits on the trail. Weddings, reunions and corporate groups can be arranged. Trips are private, so book ahead in summer, when the good dates and the early starts fill up first.
