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.

From the day we booked our guided tour until the day after the tour, Bruce was available to answer questions, and discuss concerns and goals. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable about the park. He knew not only the geological features and their importance, but he also knew what all of the animals and plants were. He went above and beyond answering all of our questions about the park. We never felt rushed or pressured by him and he made sure to try to find all the wildlife we hoped to see.

Bruce was very informative, safe driver. He was very helpful with information about not only Rocky Mountain NP but about the area.
