Frequently Asked Questions

Tundra Tours is a hiking guide service that provides guided hiking trips in Rocky Mountain National Park out of Estes Park, Colorado.    

Have fun, of course!  And be awe-inspired!  On top of that, your guides will include sharing knowledge of the local history, flowers, trees, and of course, everyone's favorite...wildlife!  There will be plenty of opportunities for photos and we will always keep our eyes peeled for wildlife!  If we see wildlife while driving, when safe and a legal shoulder to pull over, we will stop and observe the wildlife from a safe distance.  We typically expect to see plenty of elk, some mule deer, hopefully moose, sometimes turkeys, and plenty of other creatures such as marmots, pikas, or bighorn sheep.  The wildlife in Rocky Mountain National Park is what keeps it alive!
