Rocky Mountain National Park
Guided Tour of Trail Ridge Road
Trail Ridge Road, famous for being the highest continually paved highway in the United States, is an invigorating 40-mile drive. It takes you up and over the Rocky Mountains and offers spectacular views from exhilarating heights and fresh high-mountain air.
So hit the road and head for Colorado with our park approved audio tour. Traveling from east to west, this guided tour begins near the town of Estes Park (at either park entrance) climbs to an elevation of 12,183 feet before taking you down to the town of Grand Lake where the tour concludes. Your views will be of verdant valleys and meadowlands, majestic mountain peaks, canyons cut by glaciers and delicate alpine tundra. With a watchful eye, you are sure to see many of the park’s abundant birds and wildlife.
Throughout the tour, you’ll hear fascinating facts and stories from an impressive group of knowledgeable Park Rangers. They’ll describe the geological forces that created the park’s diverse landscape and stunning scenery. They’ll talk about life zones, forests, fire and fragile plant communities. You’ll hear about the park’s numerous birds and wildlife and, of course its mascot—the Bighorn Sheep. And they’ll paint a clear picture of the park’s cultural history and bring to life the colorful characters who influenced the development of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Professionally narrated and loaded with great music and nature sounds (recorded on location) this 90-minute tour is as entertaining as it is educational.
