Visite géologique privée de 4 heures dans le parc national des Rocheuses

Aperçu

In the comfort of your own vehicle, our knowledgeable step-on geologist guide, Ranger Rod, will direct you through Rocky Mountain National Park. He will take photos of your group's adventure as you travel through time in RMNP witnessing evidence of major rock and mineral forming processes that took place billions of years ago. Discover ancient mountains that started rising shortly after the dinosaurs went extinct, as well as landscape formed by later volcanic eruptions. More recently (in geologic time) learn how the mountains were sculpted by massive ice age glaciers and about early human history after the valley glaciers covering the area melted 12 thousand years ago. Seeing these natural wonders through the eyes of an experienced local geologist, will evolve your worldview of mountain landscapes and enhance future RMNP adventures.

6 hour tour times are only available in the summertime when Trail Ridge Rd is open, 4 hour tour reservations are available year-round.

Rod was an excellent guide, showing us how the mountains were formed, the wildlife and flora that live there, awesome! We actually got to see some of the animals that live there, and he took many photos we can't wait to see!

My husband and I were in Colorado for a family reunion and only had a short amount of time to explore Rocky Mountain National Park. A 4 hour tour sounded like the perfect day! We met Ranger Rod at the visitor center outside the park and he gave us a history lession of how the park was formed, what we will see that day and answered any questions we had before we started our journey. Rod is extremely knowledgable and it was a pleasure spending the day with him (rock puns included!). He took amazing photographs as well! 10/10!
