Planning a Rocky Mountain National Park trip Question: I live in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and I’d like to plan our vacation in advance. My daughter and I would like to go backpacking in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer, with a couple of my old friends who live in the States. Because I live overseas, it is very difficult for me to obtain USGS maps or any other sort of detailed information about the park. Could an outfitter near the park provide a trip-planning service for us, mapping out a route, planning menus, buying food for us, making any needed back-country reservations? Heck, if I’m going to pay that much, how much would it cost to have a living, breathing guide come along to show us the best bits of the park? Chris Vice 国产吃瓜黑料 Adviser: Rocky Mountain Wilderness 国产吃瓜黑料s based in, of all places, State College, Pennsylvania, has a comprehensive service that would interest you. In fact, they’ll even arrange your flight from Saudi Arabia, shuttle you from the airport, set you up in a bed-and-breakfast or hotel the first night, and then arrange for a Roads Less Traveled, a multisport adventure travel company, offers a scheduled departure trip called the Rocky Mountain Rambler for $1,295 per person. That price includes food, accommodations, a day of whitewater rafting, naturalist-led hiking in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, and a hike to Glacier Gorge and the Trail Ridge Road. That trip’s scheduled departures are July 13, |
