4-сатни приватни геолошки обилазак у Националном парку Роцки Моунтаин

Преглед

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.

Национални парк Роцки Моунтаин

На вашем геолошком обиласку РМНП ћете: бити оријентисани на парк користећи 3Д мапе које објашњавају главну геолошку топографију; истражите доказе о моћним тектонским, вулканским и глацијалним силама које су створиле пејзаж парка; дешифровати геолошку причу иза прекрасних сликовитих погледа на најбоље видике парка и активних станишта дивљих животиња; научити како да препознају главне РМНП стене и минерале, укључујући метаморфне гнајс и шкриљце, и интрузивне и вулканске стене из унутрашњости земље; лоцирајте 5 древних глацијалних долина и данашњих 8 глечера са именом заједно са истакнутим врховима и 3 планинска ланца парка. Оживите домородачка америчка наслеђа која датирају више од 11 хиљада година и живописну историју пионира која почиње 1800-их.

The entire tour was wonderful!!! My tour guide, Rod, was friendly, knowledgeable, and included taking pics of me around the park. He can make the geology simple or more complex as you wish. So many mountains and so many rock samples. Go if you can.

A delightfully comprehensive tour of the geology, landforms, ecology, and human history of Rocky Mountain National Park. As I geologist myself, I was very impressed by the knowledge and expertise our guide Rod had across such a diverse spectrum of subject matter. I learned many new things about the park, and specifically about the geology. Some examples include the comparatively recent flooding that created the alluvial fan area; that the flat, smooth topography on the high peak is likely the result pre-glacial erosion (peneplanes); the existence of the 'iron dike' trending NW through the park: And that 20 million year old 'lava' flows are preserved near the high point of Trail Ridge Road. The tour was further enhanced by Rod's knowledge of the best places to view the stunning natural beauty of the park, including sightings of both elk and bighorn sheep. A fantastic experience and time very well spent - thoroughly enjoyable!

On a beautiful early summer day, my wife and I, and a good friend of ours, were treated to an outstanding geologic tour of RMNP led by Ranger Rod. My friend and I are geologists who recently retired in the Fort Collins area. We have a reasonably good level of knowledge of the geology of Northern Colorado that we have gained from numerous hikes in the area. My wife is not a geologist but she is a geology enthusiast. Our tour started outside the park with an overview of the metasedimentary rocks along Hwy 34 in the lower portion of the Big Thompson Canyon, and then a stop along CR43 to look at an outstanding pegmatite outcrop on the way to Glen Haven. Once in the park we learned about the granite exfoliation domes and Tors that make up the area around Lumpy Ridge. We were then treated to an overview and a tour of the role glaciers have played in shaping the landscape of RMNP. With the use of a fantastic hand-painted panoramic hiking map of RMNP (painted by James Nehues of ski area map fame), Rod pointed out a number of long glacial valleys, cirques and moraines including some very impressive lateral and terminal moraines that we had not noticed during previous visits to the park. A stop to see the man-caused alluvial fan from the 1982 Lawn Lake dam failure, and hear the story of how it blew through the Fall River Valley lateral moraine, was very interesting. We continued on up Trail Ridge Road with a stop at Hidden Valley to see the 1 billion year old Iron Dike that we had never seen or heard of before. We then continued up to the higher country to get an overview of the Never Summer Mountains and to learn that they are the glaciated remnants of magma chambers formed "only" 23 million years ago. The tour ended with a short walk around Sprague Lake with impressive views of Long's Peak. What a great day with a great guide. Rod's knowledge of the geology of RMNP is tremendous and his ability to tell the geologic story in a way that geologists and non geologists alike can easily understand, was impressive. I highly recommend this guided trip for geologists and curious non geologists as well.
