Old Fall River Road Scenic Ecology Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park

Join us for a mountain adventure up Old Fall River Road! This scenic drive features hairpin turns, dramatic mountain vistas, serene forests, and the chance to see wildlife up close. Participants receive a unique overview of the park’s history, wildlife, native plants, and geology while viewing the landscapes from the comfort of our 12-passenger van. We'll return to Estes Park via Trail Ridge Road, which offers panoramic views of the alpine tundra and ample opportunities for photos.

The tour is approximately 5 to 6 hours in length and includes time for participants to eat lunch at the Alpine Visitor Center. Bring a picnic lunch along or purchase light fare at the Trail Ridge Cafe. All required park entry fees and permits are included in the ticket price.

Sit back, relax, and leave the driving to us while you take in the wonder of the Rocky Mountains!
