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.

Q&A

Q: Does the tour allow for kids, and are there any age restrictions?

A: Yes, the tour is family-friendly! There aren’t any strict age restrictions, but I’d suggest it’s best for kids who can handle a bit of hiking or are at least 6 years old. The guide is great with kids and can tailor the experience to keep them engaged. Just make sure they dress in layers and have sturdy shoes for any walking.

Q: What should I wear for this tour, especially if we go hiking?

A: Dress in layers! Mornings in the Rockies can be chilly, and it warms up later. Good hiking shoes are a must, and definitely bring a light jacket. Sunscreen and a hat are also smart since you’ll be outside a lot. If you can, wear breathable fabrics; it’ll keep you comfortable while you explore.

Q: Can we customize the tour on the day of, and how does that work?

A: Absolutely! The tour is designed to be flexible. You can tell the guide about your interests when you start, and they’ll adjust the itinerary based on what you want to see or do. If you spot something cool along the way, you can stop for photos or exploration without a problem!

Thinking about gifting the Rocky Mountain Custom Tour!

I’m considering this tour as a birthday gift for my husband. He loves nature and photography, and I think he’d enjoy the custom aspect—especially since the guide seems to have a wealth of knowledge! Has anyone done this tour? Would it be good for someone who isn’t super experienced with hiking? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Just got back from the custom tour—wow!

We just did the three-hour custom tour, and it was amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history and wildlife. We hiked a bit and saw a ton of cool stuff, like a family of elk! If you’re thinking about this tour, definitely bring a good camera. The views are just breathtaking. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature!
