Sunrise 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.

What To Expect

Rocky Mountain National Park

Best Sunrise Tour: This tour begins by meeting your party at your lodge in Estes Park or at the Estes Park Visitor Center before sunrise and proceeding directly into Rocky Mountain National Park to breathtaking views looking east to greet the rising sun. We’ll take our time getting back stopping often to enjoy the scenery while we observe and photograph birds & animals, plants & geology and then arriving in Estes Park just in time for breakfast.

Bruce's custom, tailored tour made our family trip memorable. His passion and knowledge of the area were above our expectations. He expertly maneuvered through the snow to show us parts of the park little know about. His communication and thoughtfulness prior to our tour were very appreciated. He even alerted us to a huge gang of elk in town days before our tour, which was a highlight of our trip.

AMAZING! Best way to get a beautiful introduction to the park. Bruce was great. He picked us up, knew the best spots and had a lot of interesting facts. Highly recommend.
