Excellent experience - Our family of six completely enjoyed our 8 hour tour. We range in age from 55 yrs old to 8yrs. old. The hike was challenging but incredible. Our guide , Mish, was fantastic. She was patient and kind. She set the pace for the day starting at 7:30 am pickup at our rental cabin and we finished @5pm . We started at bear lake , nymph lake,dream lake, and hiked to emerald lake . We stopped at a beautiful spot by the river for a packed lunch. Mish supplied snacks , a few hiking poles and plenty of water . The kids and I loved that snacks she supplied especially the root beer and birch beer. After lunch we traveled up to the alpine station and hiked huffer hill 12,000ft. This was a tough one but worth the view . Over all the communication prior to the trip and during was excellent. Throughout the tour our guide, Mish, shared her knowledge of mountains , and their history . We loved it !

The perfect introduction to Rocky Mountain National Park! - With so many different sights to see at the park, we decided to join Madeline's full day tour to benefit from her knowledge of the visual gems, historical and cultural information, navigation, wildlife locations and overall inspiration and enthusiasm. It was a flawless plan. We visited Bear Lake, Sprague Lake, the Alpine Visitor's Center for lunch and Hidden Valley. We enjoyed hikes well planned for the capabilities of the group as we adapted to the altitude. We saw wildlife beyond our imagination in Moraine Valley that was especially brought to life with Madeline's scope gear. With plans to return to the park the next day, Madeline was rich with ideas and advice around places to visit and hikes to pursue. And if that was not enough, she pointed us to some great finds in Estes Park to enhance our stay. We had an invaluable day with an exceptional guide in Madeline.

Full day of fun and education and hiking! - First, Miche was fabulous. She was professional and kind and full of information. Everything was top notch and my husband and I had a wonderful day hiking the alpine lakes and learning about the park and the geology and the plant life . It was a lovely day in the park. Miche was so kind she even delivered my husband’s sweatshirt that he left on the bus to our hotel. Do this hike if you’re considering!

MUST SEE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK WITHOUT THE HASTLE - Spent an awesome day with our tour guide Chelsea who came well prepared with snacks, drinks & even extra jackets for us Floridians on the trip. Had a great hike to Nymph Lake and the magnificent Emerald Lake. We had lunch by a beautiful waterfall picnic area & then experienced the splendor of climbing to the tundra. The tour was worth every penny.
