Private and Personalized Three Hour Morning Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park
Description
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.

Itinerary
Best Three-Hour Morning Custom Personalized Private Tour: This tour begins with you and your party of up to 4 people being picked up at your lodging in Estes Park or at the Estes Park Visitor Center on 500 Big Thompson Ave. If you like we’ll make a few short stops to view historical sites and look for wildlife in the Estes Valley before heading into Rocky Mountain National Park. In winter our destination is Bear Lake for breathtaking snowy scenery or maybe a short snowshoe walk in the forest! In summer our destination is Trail Ridge Road the highest continuous road in the US. Both tours include plenty of stops for wildlife viewing, photography and a short hike as you and the time allow.

Sarah provided us with an amazing day. Super knowledgeable about the area and flexible with what everyone wanted to see and do. It's a beautiful park and having Sarah as a guide allowed us to make the most of our time.
I am so glad I booked this tour of RMNP/Trail Ridge Road! I was hesitant as my son has special needs and has a manual wheelchair to go farther distances. I didn't need to worry at all -- Bruce was so personable, kind and understanding. He made us feel very comfortable and even sought out a couple accessible trails for us to explore! He was also very knowledgeable about the area, the history, even the flora and fauna that made the trip so much more interesting -- the time just flew by! I was also so glad my husband could relax and enjoy the views instead of worrying about driving the mountain roads. This was a great tour and I highly recommend it!
Bruce was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge of the history of the areas that we drove through was outstanding. Wonderful experience & we saw a moose & baby calf! Definitely recommend!
Excellent views. Terrific information on a variety of topics. Brian was a phenomenal, top notch guide. Worth every penny. We look forward to finding another time to take another tour with him.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed our time! While I had nothing to do with creating the views, I do always hope to create a memorable experience. :) Thank you again for booking with us.
Sarah was fantastic. Knowledgable, flexible, warm, personable and just a joy to be around. Loved the history.
Thank you, Cherri! I appreciate your comments, and am so glad you enjoyed the tour. I loved getting to meet you both, and having the opportunity to share the morning and our beautiful mountains with you.
This was a very unexpected experience, Bruce was an educational resource that provided great knowledge of not only the park, but it's history and importance to everything around it.
What lovely feedback. Thank you very much. I always hope to provide information that is possibly new or broader than people are expecting, while also sharing RMNP with my guests. Thank you so much.
It was great to have someone pick us up at our hotel, tailor the tour to our interests, and who was very knowledgeable about the park.
Thank you for your review, and for taking the tour! Personal service and sharing knowledge are definitely our priorities.
Looking for something to do, so booked this trip the night before. Picked up at our hotel on time. Vehicle was roomy, quiet and clean. Guide, Bruce, was very knowledgeable. Took us around the park avoiding areas that another booked trip would take us. This was by far the best tours we had during our stay in Estes Park.
Thank you so much. We're honored and flattered by your compliments!
Bruce was a wonderful guide, very friendly and accommodating. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharing lots of informative descriptions about local history and natural features of the area. Highly recommend!
Thank you for saying so. We appreciate your thoughts so very much!
Amazing tour. Bruce was knowledgeable and very interesting. It was a great morning exploring RMNP
Thanks so very much!
