What To Expect
Join us for an awesome experience during the the elk rut! Drive through the Rocky Mountain National Park in our 3-row Subaru Ascent on a 4 - 5 hour private tour with only your party. On our Rut Tour, you will be taken up the famous Old Fall River Road (when open, typically through Sep.) where you will see beautiful mountain views / waterfalls, stop at the highest visitor center in the US National Park System, drive back down the highest continuous paved road in the United States, Trail Ridge Road (when open, typically through Sep.), and witness the elk rut mating season in Moraine Park. When Old Fall River Road isn't open, you will drive up and back down Trail Ridge Road. This is a driving tour, NOT hiking. *Wildlife is unpredictable & we cannot guarantee sightings, but we try our best to scout the prime locations!
We only offer hotel pickup in Estes Park. If you are staying outside of town, we can meet you at the free parking garage for the Estes Park Visitor Center for pickup.
