  • 5A lovely hike with a lovely guide

    Ryan was an absolutely wonderful guide - letting me set the pace while providing some great history of Colorado and facts about the local flora/fauna in the region as well. The communication was seamless leading up to the trip, and because this ended up being a solo trip, he even let me choose between two options for the hike. I would absolutely recommend Good Mountain Adventures to anyone looking for a guided trail, especially if you are solo and looking for a travel companion for a few hours that not only provides insight on the area, but is just a genuinely lovely person to spend some time with. Thanks for making my first trip to the Rockies a memorable experience!

  • 5One of the best tours...

    One of the best tours I've booked through this site! Gentry was extremely knowledgeable about Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding area. Even got a quick tutorial on the geology of the park. And when I had to change my tour date, she gave me a great recommendation which ended up being a blessing in disguise! If you want a great introduction to RMNP, book them ASAP!

  • 5Great 3-4 hiking adventure

    Great experience using a lesser known trailhead to enter the park on foot rather than worrying about a timed entry pass and the traffic jams associated with it. Gentry was a lovely guide who explained alot about the local wildlife, geology, and ecosystem. We got to see some elk, wild turkey and some brook trout during the hike to Sprage Lake.

About Estes Park

Estes Park is a mountain town at the eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, known for elk, alpine lakes and a historic hotel.

Estes Park lies at about 2,300 metres in a valley of the Colorado Rockies, along the Big Thompson River and beside Lake Estes. It is the main eastern entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The town centre has timber-fronted shops, a riverwalk and the Stanley Hotel, a white Colonial Revival hotel on a hill that opened in 1909 and inspired Stephen King's novel The Shining.
