Rocky Mountain National Park Guided Tours from Grand Lake

Overview
Chief Experience Officer and local historian, Dave Lively, will guide you beyond closed gates of Rocky Mountain National Park, leaving the pavement, parking lots and heavily used trails behind to reveal the stories of the region's history, people and wildlife.

He will shine light on the rich history of Rocky in a way that brings the adventures of the people of the past to life. With unique stories and one of a kind photos he will connect you to events and personal journeys from the past, transporting you back in time and allowing you to visualize this wilderness in a new light.

Dave is a resident and well-known historian in Grand Lake, and the only Certified Tour Guide in Grand County, Colorado. He lives less than ½ mile from Rocky Mountain National Park, his backyard. His family homesteaded what is now the western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, giving him generations of unique detailed knowledge, personal stories and photographs.

Outstanding tour from Mr. Lively, I am the history nut but my wife also was sold from this tour. Dave from my opinion is the expert how this park came to be the family’s hardships, the ongoing battles with governments and where the places are for the views none have been to. Also will allow any photos you wish to take. Very professional and courteous gentleman was honored to go on a tour with him. Do yourself a favor and book him made our day shine. Thank You Dave Mick & Connie

Really interesting information about the history of Rocky Mountain National Park: Harbison sisters’ homestead; stories about Native American tribes; Colorado River; etc.

As a private tour guide myself, I try to create lifelong memories for my guests. Dave absolutely created such memories on our tour last week. His cornucopia of knowledge about "Rocky" is amazing, educational as well as entertaining. We were also very impressed with his care for the local community in Grand Lake as well as his relations with park staff. Dave is truly a treasure of Rocky Mountain National Park.
