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: Is there an age limit for the Sunrise Tour? I want to take my kids!

A: There's no strict age limit for the Sunrise Tour, which is great! Kids usually enjoy the flexibility of the tour, and there's plenty to keep them engaged with the wildlife and natural history. Just be sure to dress them in layers, as it can get chilly in the morning up there. Also, consider bringing snacks for them since we might be out for a while, depending on your interests!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our tour?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, the tour can be rescheduled to another day that works for you. The guide is super flexible and wants to ensure you have a great experience. Just make sure to check the forecast a few days before your scheduled date, and communicate with them if you're worried!

Q: What should we wear for this tour? Is it casual?

A: Definitely go for casual, comfy clothes! Layers are key since it can be cool in the early morning but warm up as the day goes on. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended if you're planning to hike. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen—especially if you're out there for sunrise!

Just did the Sunrise Tour at Rocky Mountain National Park—amazing!

I went on the Sunrise Tour last weekend with some friends, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences ever. Our guide, who was super knowledgeable, took us through some stunning spots. We saw elk and even a few bears from a distance! The flexibility was awesome—we hiked a couple of miles but also relaxed at some amazing viewpoints. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique gift or just an adventure!

Considering the Sunrise Tour as a gift—any tips?

I’m thinking about booking the Sunrise Tour for my partner’s birthday. He loves nature and photography. I'm curious if it’s worth it—like, how much time do we really get to explore? Also, is it suitable for someone not super into hiking? Any insights would be awesome!
