Rocky Mountain Travel 
Stargaze Night Hikes
Estes Park Tour Guides™ invites you to step into the quiet magic of Rocky Mountain National Park once the sun goes down. Guided only by headlamps and moonlight, we’ll wander along gentle trails and soak in the sights, sounds, and stillness of the alpine night. You’ll hear the wind in the pines, watch the stars emerge overhead, and feel the mountain air come alive in a whole new way. At our stargazing point, we’ll brew fresh coffee and hot chocolate on portable stoves—our treat—so you can settle in and simply enjoy the night sky.
This unforgettable experience offers everything you need for a safe and enjoyable adventure under the stars, including headlamps, cozy sleeping pads, blankets, and freshly brewed refreshments.

Everyone should be capable of walking between 1-2 miles carrying a water bottle or backpack weighing less than 5lbs. At higher elevations, it is common to become short of breath walking.
