5.00The Rocky Mountain National Park tour by. Colorado Sightseer was a great way to see the Rockies. Jorge our guide was fantastic. He took us on a journey through not only the Rockies but introduced us to the history, native plants and animals ( Elk, mule and whitetail deer, woodpeckers, etc). There were ots of stops for pictures and short hikes as well.
