By far the best tour we have been on. Chadd was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He provided amazing insight and education. He was 100% committed to fulfilling our expectations! We experienced the May Moose Miracle- ask him about it on your tour!!! It was a great experience and we will be back.

Wow best tour you have ever been on? That is a very humbling statement to hear... Thank you so much! You made my day for sure! I am very thankful you enjoyed the facts and education I provided to you. I always strive to do my absolute best at teaching what I have learned over the years, so it is always nice to hear when people are appreciative of the information. I hope you are able to share with others what you learned! Lol the "May Moose Miracle of 2021" will DEFINITELY go down in my books as one of my favorite touring moments over the last 16 years of miscellaneous tour guiding hahaha. Thank you all for taking a tour with me. And thank you so much for such a positive review. Please comeback and visit me anytime! Till next time never stop believing! And remember, just let go and let the moose come to you! ;-)

We had a fantastic tour of the Rocky Mountain National Park with Chadd at Walking with Wildlife. We learned so much about the wildlife of the area, the ecosystems and much more. Chadd was easy to book with, is super responsive and worked with us in planning for our tour as the weather changed. He asked us which animals we most wanted to see and though of course he cannot promise any particular sightings, he went out of his way to try to hit our bucket list. We saw moose, mule deer, elk, wild turkey, turkey vultures, a variety of smaller birds and even a flock of migrating pelicans, all on a day after significant snow when the animals didn’t tend to be out as much. Chadd found them. We highly recommend booking with Chadd - you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you very much for the great review! I am so glad you enjoyed your tour, and that the wildlife was so cooperative after the snow storm we received. I am very glad we were able to get the tour to work out and find a good time to go. It was fun working down your list of wildlife to find, I definitely agree we did quite well on it. I have to admit the pelicans through me lol... Just hanging out in the snow as they were was unexpected to say the least. I am happy you were satisfied with your tour. I hope to see you again in the near future!

This tour with Chadd was the best morning by far that we have had on our trip! There are both morning and evening tours. I learned all of the scientific names of the animals I was interested in from Chadd. We wanted to see a moose and a bald eagle that morning. It had snowed the night before and there was a lower probability that we would be able to see a variety of wildlife as most of them were expected to be hunkering down right after the snow. Yet, Chad managed to find both our bucket list animals - the moose and the bald eagle- as well as ten other bucket list species from the area. Of special surprise on our tour was spotting pelicans - of all things - in migration!! I learned a lot about the terrain too. Chadd makes sure to make the tour customized to your objectives. Great tour for experienced wildlife enthusiasts and novices alike! Thanks Chadd!

Wow thank you for such a wonderful review! I am very happy to hear you enjoyed all the science talk about the wildlife, I tried throwing as much educational topics as could with you two. Working on the bucket list animals was an absolute blast!! I am so thankful we were able to find as many as we did! It was definitely a very serendipitous day for us. The pelicans blew me away... Who knew they would all be sitting in the snow as they were hahaha... You are very welcome for the tour, and thank you again for all the kind words! I hope to see you again soon!
