"This Tour Has It All" - Chad, our tour guide was fantastic. He knows the ins and outs of the area 100%. We saw the most beautiful landscape along with every animal inhabitant of the area. We were able to get all 9 stamps of the park (thanks to Chad; he made it his quest when I mentioned it). We were on every road in the park, saw beautiful streams, waterfalls and gorgeous terrain. A little more about Chad; he is friendly, likeable and absolutely willing to please. He knows where all the wild life live, hang out, how they store food for the winter and so, so much more (including where the best cinnamon rolls are). He has the best equipment (binoculars, telescope and radiates his love of RMNP). The entire day was the best decision we have ever made (no stress in driving, no looking for things; saw it all in 1 day because Chad knew where to look, this tour would have taken us 3 days on our own to see what we saw in 1 with Chad. Nothing could have been better from pick-up to drop-off. I absolutely loved that Chad was as excited as we were to see the Moose and her baby. He really loves his job so don't hesitate to book him for a day and have an enjoyable and entertaining experience with no worries.

Comprehensive views of wildlife. - Chadd was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable about animals and birds. At some of the stops he used a spotting scope that enabled my wife and I to see animals up close. He knew where to find various species such as marmots and pikas at one place. We saw deer, elk, and a lone moose. The mountain goats were not present, but we were fortunate to see them at their designated place the next day. Chadd also recommended cinnamon rolls at the Alpine Visitor Center!!

Overall wonderful full day experience with flexibility - We had a very nice day with Chad. He was very knowlegable about many subjects and very pleasant. He accommodated my daughter who had injured her ankle the night before the trip and in that way accommodated my family. We saw Elk, a mommy moose and her baby, deer, mule deer, Marmots, various ground squirrels, various birds, Coyote and chipmonks native to the park. We spent some time in the next town over from ours (we were staying in Estes Park). The meet up site was easy and convenient. Would recommend this tour without reservation.

Amazing Day in RMNP! - We are so grateful to Chadd for a great day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park! We only had two days to spend so wanted to maximize our time in this glorious setting. Chadd's knowledge goes far beyond the local region and expands throughout the greater US. He provided insights that we never would have gained on our own. The trip was relaxed, even on those very curvy elevated roads. Chadd exudes a confidence and competency that is invaluable. We saw many gorgeous Elk, a bachelor herd(very close up), several nursing herds, pica, yellow belly marmots, two bald eagles and numerous species of birds. In fact, Chadd entertained us with several bird calls of his own! He is a great guy who clearly loves what he does! We truly enjoyed our time with him in this inspirational setting!
