For those looking to experience the great outdoors and see the wild majesty of the United States, Exploring the Colorado Rocky Mountains is an unforgettable experience filled with pristine scenery and wildlife at every turn. Stretching 3,000 miles from British Columbia in Canada through to New Mexico in the United States, the Rocky Mountains exemplify the true beauty of North America with its dramatic wildlife.
After arriving in Denver, the trip begins in the small mining town of Idaho Springs with an airport transfer in a comfortable SUV. Here, visitors will receive an introduction into the history of Colorado and those who settled in it in search of new fortune. Moving further into the wilderness of Colorado, the tour continues to a historic little town nestled on the largest natural lake in the state, Grand Lake, where visitors will have their first taste of wildlife viewing.
The tour continues with a drive-up the national designated All American Road, Trail Ridge. Driving up 12,183 feet in elevation, visitors will appreciate the changing scenery and thrilling views while keeping an eye out for elk, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats. This will not be the only wildlife to be seen. The next day, travelers will start early in the morning in search of North America’s largest land mammal, the moose while trekking through the wilderness of Kawanuche Valley.
The tour then ends with a full day exploring one of the most picturesque scenes in Colorado, Maroon Bells. These massive mountains that resemble the shape of a bell loom over the forest and reflect in the stunning blue lakes below. After an evening of well-deserved rest, visitors will stop by the National Mining Museum before their flight home.
