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.

I wish we could post some of our amazing pictures here. Dave Lively is an incredible tour guide who has a keen knowledge of the history surrounding the park and also a unique family connection. Be sure to book this tour in 2020 if you can.

We were lucky that Dave had a last minute cancellation and was able to give us a morning tour of the western part of the Rocky Mountain National Park. The locals know Dave, but to the rest of the world he is a hidden gem. Knowledgeable is an understatement. After spending just a few hours with Dave, we had a much deeper understanding of the history of RMNP. He followed all the COVID protocols (which we very much appreciated).
