    Dessert at the end of the tour!

    Great tour for the family with a infant. The host Gary was very informative and passionate about the Rocky Mountains. The van was comfortable with smooth ride that put our 4 month old to sleep. I would highly recommend especially for the price!

    Brian was on point! Lots of snow, wind, and bad roads in the park, so we went to Lumpy Ridge on the outside edge of RMNP. I'm an avid hiker and lean on AllTrails to point me in the direction of good trails, and I never would thought of this one up to Gem Lake. Brian was super helpful, called me the day before to ask questions and get a feel for what I was looking for. Picked me up in front of my hotel, and we were off to the trailhead. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was a great guide overall. Had micro spikes and poles for us to use.... hot chocolate, coffee, fruit, and meat/cheese when we made it to Gem Lake. Ask him about his non-profit endeavors! Great guy and great company!

    Amazing! Don't hire anyone else! Beware other tour/hiking companies that aren't registered or licensed. They made our time at RMNP special and helped us avoid all the crowds. We did the tour the first day with Garry and a personal guided hike with Brian the next. Definitely recommend doing both ~ Garry took us up to 12K feet where he fed us fruit and fondue. Great overview of RMNP. Brian took us on a hike to Bear, Dream, Nymph and Emerald Lakes the next day. We were fed homemade energy bars and PB & J puff pastries. Both the tour and guided hike were slated for 4 hours, but both lasted much longer. They were much more interested in our experience than the time. Finally, these are good sincere people that also provide services to the handicapped that otherwise wouldn't be able to enjoy the park. ~ Gordon & Lauren K

    Wow!!!! What an amazing experience we had at the Rocky Mountain National Park. I've only done a handful of hikes, and this was by far my favorite because of Brian! His knowledge, positive attitude, and ability to keep you smiling throughout the hike is just a few reasons why I'll keep using Kep Expeditions when I return to Estes Park. Brian will adapt each hike to your comfort level and ability. Never in my life did I think I would be sliding belly first down a mountain, but I sure am glad I did. What a fun experience. Thank you Brian!

    Tour guide, Brian

    If you have just a short amount of time in the Rocky Mountain National Park, then an organized tour…read moreis the way to go. After researching tour companies through Yelp and other review websites I settled on Rocky Mountain Rush because of their great reviews on Trip Advisor. Though we had to contend with a rainy day, RMR did a great job of showing us some of the highlights of the park. The park itself is absolutely breathtaking (separate review) and a need-to-see experience. The RMR vehicle (pretty much a really big Hummer) is spacious and very comfortable. Since it has the capacity to become an open air vehicle, it can get a little chilly inside. Comfy fleece blankets are provided. Our guide was fantastic - he seemed to know a lot about the park's history and was truly funny. Just a couple of things... not easy to make a reservation online. I sent three requests and eventually just had to call. It is virtually impossible for me to use a phone on my work days so I would have found online more convenient. A longer tour, even by just an hour or so would be great. The park is huge so don't get me wrong... I get why you can't see everything in a few hours. Besides the basic hummer tour, they also do downhill biking adventures and wine and cheese sunset tours. Their prices are on the moderate side ($50 pp). Overall, a good service!

Tours are relatively reasonably priced (though not cheap) for the entertainment and educational bits and bobs about the places you're taken to, but for the winter tours where your exposure to several areas of the park is limited, I do think they could knock off a few bucks. We had a bit of a mishap during my tour, where my phone was dropped and my battery tumbled off a bridge and down the side of the mountain. Our guide saved the day by literally sliding down the mountain to retrieve my battered - but still functional! - phone innards. Nevermind the details about how that happened (though I wonder if it'll make it into our guide's stories from here on out), but not having that battery would have really put a kink in the remainder of FH and I's trip to Colorado, so I was thankful, if a bit nervous, that he rescued it. We would love to come back in the summertime and take one of the off-road tours, and will definitely look up this company again if we find ourselves in Estes in warmer months.

We finished taking the scenic drives around RMNP and went into Estes Park. I suggested we take the tram up the mountain before dinner. We arrived at the lower terminal. There's a parking lot available to park in for a fee. Handicap Parking is free. We went inside and bought our tickets for $35.96 each. There was no line to board the tram, so we went on out to the loading area. There's a gift shop here you can visit before going up. It is highly recommended to have a reservation (purchase tickets in advance)! Prices vary depending on day of the week and time. If you are a walk-in, the time slot you want may be sold out and you'll have to select an available time. Each tram accommodates 10 people. We had the car to ourselves along with the tram attendant. She was very friendly and we had a nice conversation. She lets riders in and out of the tram. The ride is fairly short (5 minutes each way) even though the tram doesn't travel terribly fast. There's an elevation gain of 1,029 ft. The upper terminal sits at 8,619 ft. This is a very smooth ride. The windows of the tram were wide open, which was great! At the upper terminal, there is an observation platform with telescopes, gift shop, picnic areas, restrooms, cafe, and a trail to the West Summit. The trail is .75 miles one way and is supposedly a fairly easy hike. There's a machine that spins fresh cotton candy and I had to try it! We bought a small bag of peanuts to feed the chipmunks, but it seemed like the birds got most of them. The view is breathtaking! We left the top around the golden hour and it was awesome! This was a serene way to enjoy nature!

I had read Stephen Kings book The Shining when I was way too young and it absolutely terrified me like it should have. When the movie came out, I really enjoyed it but you can never replicate the book. Visiting this old and historic somewhat haunted hotel, I was ready to learn more about the imagination of Stephen King. His staying here many years ago brought about the inspiration to write the book. Although no filming took place here for the movie, the mini series was filmed here in 1997. We began the tour within the hotel and we had a fairly new tour guide all the way from Turkey. Unfortunately, I forgot his name but he was was well spoken, funny and informative. My favorite part of the tour was visiting the renovated caretakers cottage. It was decorated with period furniture and pictures of the original family that took care of the Stanley Hotel many years ago. I couldn't believe there was a 100 year old Victrola that still worked. Our guide was kind enough to play it for us. Upstairs they have recreated the Shining Suite which included a bed, the famous patterned Shining carpet and of course the bathroom from Room 237. Just walking in the bathroom took me back to that particular chapter of the book. REDRUM! Pricing for the tour was $30 and you can purchase tickets online. The hotel charges $10 to park and provides you with a $5 chip to spend in the hotel. A historical hotel tour is also offered here for $25. Outside of the tour, the hotel is definitely a place to visit. Location is phenomenal as it sits in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Jared is a very knowledgeable naturalist and he has a great entertaining, conversational manner. Not only did he find tons of wildlife for us to watch, he talked all about the animal behaviors we were seeing (that's not common in my experience - a lot of guides I've toured with end the conversation at "hey look! An elk.") Even in between seeing animals, Jared was unstumpable. I had questions about the trees in RMNP and the geology and he has so many interesting facts to share.

Jared communicated well before the trip to make sure we were prepared for the day. He was punctual both times he picked us up and was a wealth of knowledge about the area. We are just getting into photography and Jared was patient in educating us on the different aspects of photography and what we should be taking into consideration when looking to take a photo. He made sure we were covering the topics we wanted to shoot and would give us different options as the day/weather provided. We traveled in for a wedding so we used Jared's equipment. While cautious, he was very trusting of his using and carrying his equipment. He knows great spots for different types of pictures. We're coming back from this trip with some great photos of the Rocky Mountains and the pika I was hoping to see. If you are into photography or just getting into it and want to have someone show you around RMNP, we highly recommend booking with Jared.
