Additional Information

A custom journey crafted based on your preferences awaits you. We do not adhere to a strict schedule and are open to making adjustments on the fly depending upon what we discover on your unique day.

As a naturalist and local historian who has resided in the region for over half a century, I play the role of nature’s storyteller, enhancing the vibrant beauty that you will witness. Our focus will be on the abundant wildlife, the varied biodiversity, and the striking geology of the Rockies. We’ll also delve into understanding the lifestyle of early settlers, lodge keepers, and native tribes such as the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute.

My excursions are entirely adaptable. If you wish to trek for 3 or 4 miles, excellent! If you’d prefer to unwind, take pleasure in the backdrop, that’s perfectly okay too! Regardless, we’ll make frequent stops to capture and discuss the awe-inspiring views.

Fantastic tour and Guide! - This was our first time to book a tour guide and it was such a great experience! Bruce is super knowledgeable about the park and its flora/fauna. He showed us the highlights and recommend things to see/do when we ventured into the park on our own. Our unguided visit into the park was fantastic thanks to the knowledge Bruce shared. We highly recommend his tour!

Best way to see Estes Park! - Such a great tour! Bruce was a ideal guide with information about the animals and eco system that we were unaware of. We saw a group of female elk, two Moose eating, chipmunks,birds and even a couple of marmot. The views were fantastic. it is a fabulous place to visit and so easy with such a knowledgeable guide.

Exactly what we wanted - Having a local who cares about the environment and has all the hidden secrets made the trip memorable. Bruce took the time to get into the details and the challenges facing this beautiful park. I must say I learned a thing or two yesterday.

Once in a Lifetime Experience - Bruce took us to some really beautiful and interesting spots that we would not have known about if we were on our own. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was super kind and flexible.

Bruce is a wealth of knowledge! - My wife and I did the 3 hour morning tour with Bruce, it was worth every penny! We saw a bunch of wildlife including Elk, moose, mule deer and turkey. His knowledge of the park and area is very extensive. It gave us a great starting park to explore the park on our own for the rest of our trip. I would highly recommend.

Excellent and Comprehensive Tour! - Highly recommend! We learned so much about the history, geography, and ecosystem of the Park. We did a little walking — went at our own pace. Our guide Bruce was extremely knowledgeable. Truly a lovely experience.
