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

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.

This was a wonderful tour not only the sunrise but Bruce is a wealth of wonderful knowledge. We learned so much and he made sure to find ALL of the animals!

This was the highlight of our week at RMNP. The park is stunning at sunrise and our guide Bruce helped us see it from several vantage points while providing an informative narrative. Highly recommended.

This tour was a great way to see the park if you’re short on time! Our guide, Bruce, picked us up promptly at 5:30am and took us into the park while it was still dark and the animals were just beginning to stir. I recommend the sunrise tour because for awhile, you’re pretty much the only people around. Of course, seeing the sun rise over the mountain peaks is an unforgettable experience as well. Bruce was fun to talk to and knew absolute everything about the area, especially the local wildlife. We saw tons of animals, got some great pictures, and learned a ton. Highly recommended!
