How Estes Park Tour Guides Turned Passion Into a Profession

The Estes Park Trail Gazette published a profile of Thomas Pemberton and Estes Park Tour Guides on August 1, 2025. The story traces the business from Thomas's summers visiting Estes Park as a boy, through a decade in digital consulting, to founding the guiding business in 2019.

The profile covers the way the business works: personalized trips built around what each group wants, from hiking and fishing to photography, stargazing, and snowshoeing, and a focus on keeping tours affordable for families. It also notes the policy Thomas set after becoming a father: kids 16 and under tour for free.
