Private Three Hour Afternoon Custom Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park

Overview

Custom tour designed for you and where your interests are. We are not on a schedule and can even adapt as we go depending upon what we find on your special day.

I am a local historian and naturalist who has lived in the area for over 50 years. I consider myself an interpreter of nature adding color to the already stunning beauty you'll see. We'll concentrate on the myriad wildlife, the diverse biology, and incredible geology of the Rockies. We'll also get insight into what it might have been like for early pioneers and lodge keepers as well as indigenous people like the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute.

My tours are completely flexible so if you want to hike for 3 or 4 miles, great! Or if you just want sit back and relax and enjoy the view that's fine too! Either way we'll stop often to photograph and talk about the amazing sights.

So glad we did this tour! My husband and I toured the Rocky Mountains with Bruce and it was truly unforgettable. The scenery was simply breathtaking. Bruce knew all the best spots for photo opportunities, and he made sure we had plenty of time to soak in the incredible views. We were surrounded by towering peaks and lush meadows. The sheer scale and beauty of the landscape were truly awe-inspiring. Bruce is a true educator, sharing insights into the geology, wildlife, and history of the Rockies. One of the most profound takeaways from our tour was a newfound respect for the circle of life. Bruce's explanations helped us see the mountains not just as a beautiful landscape, but as a complex and dynamic living system. This is a must see tour!

I and my wife had a great time with Bruce! We joined his tour when we visited Denver and Estes Park for the first time ever on our thanksgiving holidays, and this was definitely the most memorable and exciting thing we experienced there. Bruce is a very knowledgeable and kind person. He took us by his very clean car to some special places that we never be able to visit without him and he never bored us. Also, his talk and explanation in English was so clear and easy to understand for non-native English speakers like us.
