Hiking around RMNP with guide, Riley was a blast! He drove us around Estes Park and pointed out interesting places, like The Stanley Hotel (which was the inspiration for the movie, The Shining). He told us the good restaurants in town. He was very personable and informed about the park - where to spot Big Horn Sheep, Elk, Wild Turkeys - even Marmot! He took many pictures of my beloved and me. Riley had many interesting stories about true crime and the like. He provided us with micro-spikes (not sure if that's the correct term) which are like tire chains, but for your feet! It was slushy and melting and those suckers allowed us to walk up to Bear Lake with ease. Riley was good about asking if we wanted to stop to take pics, too. Our tour was quite long - he even gave us advice on what to explore the next day on our own. We recommend Riley and his expertise - he was GREAT!
