We are extremely saddened to announce that our best boy, Raffie, has passed away. Some may recognize him from our website, noted as our "Manager + Support" and at times, we were asked by our Explorers if he would be joining their tour or ride. (He was too busy sleeping to tag along!)

He was with us every step of the way in emotionally supporting our journey to creating and growing Explore Estes, and we said goodbye to him after almost 12 years by our side. He was more than a dog to us, he was family. Thank you to everyone who has been patient and flexible with us for the last few weeks as we have been heavily affected by his loss.

Rest in Peace to the best of boys, Raffie Higgins.

Explore Estes began with the idea of making it easier for anyone to explore Estes Park, no matter your age or ability.🚙 We’re so grateful to be able to help so many people experience the beauty that the Estes Valley has to offer.🥰

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Very friendly service. Comfortable vehicles and fair prices. My husband and I used them twice. Once to go to the Stanley hotel and when returning home. It was also handy they had room for my wheelchair in the back that folds up.”

- Amber W. (& Jennifer the service dog)

This lovely lady elk has been making an appearance in Estes Park! She has the piebald trait which is a rare genetic condition that causes white patches in her fur and skin. Have you “spotted” her around town?😊

“This tour was AhMazing! Riley was the perfect guide for us! His knowledge and enthusiasm about the park were well articulated. He delivered on everything noted in the reservation, and more! Very professional yet fun too! We all 4 highly recommend seeing Rocky Mountain Natl Park with Explore Estes & Riley! Thanks Riley, we’ll be back!

Atlas’ lullaby😴This scene we captured was too beautiful to crop tighter, so you can see the ring of our scope.🦌Captured at YMCA of the Rockies🏔️

We were too far to capture the bugle, but love seeing these interactions!🦌

Clash of the titans🦌

Something we’ve never seen before, an elk chewing on a bone!🦴 Bones are a good source of protein and minerals for animals.

The Elk Rut has begun in Estes Park, Colorado & Rocky Mountain National Park.
