About Us

"Explored by Locals, Guided by Locals" is the motto for how Tundra Tours Owner/Guide, Cheryl Sarnwick, provides the most professional, educational, awe-inspiring, and safest hiking trips in the Estes Valley; the heart of the Rocky Mountains.  In 19 years, Cheryl has explored the mountain tops and mountain lakes that graph the land here and brings a well-diverse background to cater the needs for your group.

Originally from Crystal Lake, IL, Cheryl grew up playing every sport she could.  From baseball, soccer, basketball, and even tennis, Cheryl went on to play Division I soccer as a goalkeeper at Illinois State University and studied Recreation & Parks Administration.  She completed her final internship at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO and this was where she fell in love with the mountains and all her experiences cumulated into what is now her own guiding business.  Having taught everything from Outdoor Education, working on high ropes courses, climbing walls, ziplines, subbing in the schools, portering, coaching and reffing youth and adult soccer, becoming a Recreation Supervisor and overseeing youth and adult sports, special events, and an after-school program, Cheryl has honed her skills working with youth, adults, individuals, active-adults, families, and seniors and she is excited to lead them on their next hiking adventure!

Whether you're looking for a hike for a solo adventure, a friend group, your family, wedding parties, or business group, Tundra Tours has got you covered!  Hiking trips are available year-round in Estes Park, Colorado; home of Rocky Mountain National Park!
