Im greatly satisfyed with my trip! Our guide, David, was very helpful and answered all of our questions. He also was very talkative and gave us some cool trivia along the trip! The lunch was tasty! Two turkey sandvitches were plenty! Although someone forgot to take away the cheesee paper from mine :/ Despite cloudy weather the sights were amazing, the clouds in a way added to the mysterious vibe of the mountains! The only thing I’d change is the pin for the meet up point to be directly in front of the Union Station, as thats where was the meet up spot. Overall great experience, I well reccomend it!

A might see! It was our first visit to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. The drive going up the mountain was majestic. Evergreen Lake was beautiful, and I wish we had more time at this stop. We only stopped for 30 minutes @ Everygreen Lake and this is where we also ate lunch. We didn't have time to walk around the lake trail, but we did get some beautiful pictures. The stop at Stanley Hotel was also very brief maybe 20 minutes. I didn't waste any time and walked around quickly to see everything I could. The overlook where we stopped, Tundra Communities Trail, was breathtaking. That stop was also only 20 minutes which felt a little rushed. It's a .50 mile trail and we weren't able to walk the whole way while also taking in the 360 degree views. The tour guide did great getting us back to Union Station on time so I understand why each stop is brief. It was an amazing experience. We stopped at the small town of Lyon which I'd eliminate. It didn't impress me much.
