Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for this tour in Rocky Mountain National Park?

A: There's no strict age limit for the tour, but the hike to the waterfalls might be challenging for very young kids. We’ve had families with kids as young as 5 join us, and they had a blast! Just make sure everyone has the energy for a little walking and can handle the elevation. The guides are super accommodating, so if you call ahead, they can give you more specific advice based on your group.

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it chilly up in the mountains?

A: Layers are key! Even if it’s warm in Estes Park, it can get chilly at higher elevations, especially on the Alpine Visitor Center. Wear a good base layer and bring a light jacket. Comfortable shoes are a must for the hike, and definitely consider bringing a hat and sunscreen since the sun can be strong up there. Hope you have fun!

Q: How's the parking situation at the start of the tour? Is there a lot nearby?

A: There’s a parking lot at the tour's starting point, and it’s usually pretty easy to find a spot. Just get there a bit early, especially during peak season. If all else fails, the guides are great about helping you find alternatives. They really want to make your experience smooth from the get-go!

I just snagged tickets for the Rocky Mountain Experience Tour with Purple Points! 😍 I’m super excited about the glass-top van and the snacks they mentioned. We're planning to do the hike to the waterfalls. Anyone been on this tour? Any tips for making the most of it? I want to know what we shouldn't miss!

Looking for a unique gift idea? Consider this tour!

I just gifted the Retractable Glass Top Tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love nature, and I think they’re gonna freak out when they see the views from the van! I heard the guides are super knowledgeable, too. Has anyone else given this as a gift? How did your friends/family enjoy it?
