4-godzinna prywatna wycieczka geologiczna w Parku Narodowym Gór Skalistych

Przegląd
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.

Park Narodowy Gór Skalistych
Podczas swojej geologicznej wycieczki po RMNP: orientujesz się w parku za pomocą map 3D wyjaśniających główne topografie geologiczne; zbadaj dowody potężnych sił tektonicznych, wulkanicznych i lodowcowych, które stworzyły krajobraz parku; rozszyfruj historię geologiczną kryjącą się za zapierającymi dech w piersiach widokami najlepszych punktów widokowych parku i aktywnych siedlisk dzikich zwierząt; nauczyć się rozpoznawać główne skały i minerały RMNP, w tym metamorficzny gnejs i łupek oraz skały natrętne i wulkaniczne z wnętrza ziemi; zlokalizuj 5 starożytnych dolin lodowcowych i 8 dzisiejszych nazwanych lodowców wraz z wybitnymi szczytami oraz 3 pasma górskie parku. Przeżyj ponownie dziedzictwo rdzennych Amerykanów sprzed ponad 11 tysięcy lat i barwną historię pionierów, począwszy od XIX wieku.

Rocky Mountain National Park
On your geologic tour of RMNP you will: be oriented to the park using 3D Maps explaining major geologic topography; explore evidence of the powerful tectonic, volcanic, and glacial forces that created the park’s landscape; decipher the geologic story behind the breathtaking scenic vistas of the park’s best overlooks and active wildlife habitats; learn how to recognize major RMNP rocks and minerals, including metamorphic Gneiss and Schist, and intrusive and volcanic rocks from inner earth; locate 5 ancient glacial valleys and today’s 8 named glaciers along with prominent peaks, and the park’s 3 mountain ranges. Relive Indigenous American legacies dating back over 11 thousand years and colorful pioneer history starting in 1800’s.

Rod was an amazing guide and so passionate about geology it made the trip so much fun! We highly recommend this experience, and cannot wait to frame the photos he took along the way.

My partner and I went on a tour with Rod in March 2024 and had a very 'gneiss' time! Though I've hiked a lot, my knowledge of RMNP's geology was at best rudimentary before this. Rod has a great depth of knowledge of the park's geology, and did a fantastic job of conveying it in a way that we could understand. His passion and enthusiasm for the land and its history was infectious. I certainly learned a 'schist'-load! I will definitely be seeing the park in a new light on my future hikes.

The geology tour with Ranger Rod was well worth the price. Ranger Rod is so knowledgeable about the mountain formations, wildlife and plants. He is also a super fun guy who made the tour extra special for us! If you are into geology this tour with Ranger Rod is a must!
