About This Tour
Take a guided driving tour of Trail Ridge Road in with us in our 3-row Subaru Ascent! Drive through Rocky Mountain National Park on a 3 - 4 hour private tour with only your party & your guide! Our Highway to the Sky Tour takes you up the iconic roads on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park that are open for your visit (Trail Ridge Road: Jun - Sep, and off road on Old Fall River Road: Jul - Sep). You will see the land transition from valleys to the high alpine tundra with sweeping mountain views, and reach a peak elevation of 12,183 ft! Quick 10-minute stop at the Alpine Visitor Center for a bathroom break before you drive down Trail Ridge Road to Estes Park. This guided drive is NOT a walking tour and has little time outside of the vehicle, it's the perfect mountain cruise. We're only able to offer pickup for guests staying in Estes Park. If you're staying outside of Estes Park, we can meet you at the free parking garage for the Estes Park Visitor Center for pickup.
