ROCKY MOUNTAINEER INSIDER’S TIP
Holly Elgert, Guest Experience Manager i
“Keep your camera ready on the ride up to the PEAK 2 PEAK—you might catch a glimpse of a black bear or hear the whistle of a marmot. At the summit, watch for whisky jacks, cheeky little birds that love to say hello (especially if you have snacks).”
