Microspike Rental in Estes Park

Estes Park Tour Guides made my first Rocky Mountain “solo” hikes truly memorable! I took in magnificent sites with Thomas from the Guides on April 21, and again on April 22, 2026. I picked the Guides primarily because their hike leaders are all licensed, insured and bonded as well as medically certified wilderness responders. Thomas picked trails for our hikes that were spot-on for me. He was always aware, alert and attentive to how I was doing. As a result, I felt completely confident and joyful on our hikes. I really enjoyed that the hikes moderately challenged my outdoor experience and fitness level. I walked securely and safely on many snowy/icy/slushy trail parts using the boot spikes and trekking poles with baskets the Guides provided. Thomas’ enthusiasm for the outdoors made my perception of our trail time pass quickly. The hiking pace he set for us was perfect. I got to take in the stunning scenery deeply. I watched wildlife like mule deer, wild turkeys, and elk. His stories about the outdoors were informative and integral to my amazing experience in RMNP. Thomas "went the extra mile" for several parts of the hikes. This amplified my RMNP trail hiking memories. He brought along hot cocoa for us to enjoy at our break on the shores of Lake Bierstadt. He suggested photo ops along the way and took pictures so all my photos wouldn’t be phone selfies. Thomas listened carefully to what I shared about myself during our hikes. He suggested other fun and interesting places and events to include in my Colorado vacay given the interests I told him I had. Thomas helped me feel joyful during our hikes. Thomas’ guiding me through the stunningly beautiful scenery in the Rocky Mountains left me wanting the hikes to not end. All this made my first RMNP hiking experiences unforgettable, deep and personal. I would definitely hike in the Rockies with Estes Park Tour Guides again!
