Private Three Hour Afternoon Custom Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park
Overview
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.

Bruce was very informative and excellent host. We saw a lot of the park in just three hours including a large elk herd on the alpine ridge.

HeribertoBruce was such a delight. He answered all of our questions and kept us moving to new sites for the entire tour. He covered geology, biology, conservation, and local history. He was warm and personable; it was more like driving around with a friend.

What an amazing tour of RMNP! Bruce has deep knowledge of of the park, and the surrounding area. He made a point to taking to us to locations with great panoramic views of the mountains and valleys, and provided us with recommendations for hikes and sights for us to explore after the tour. The tour was a highlight of our visit to the Park. I highly recommend this tour.Bruce, picked us up @ the Visitors Center, drove through the town of Estes Park to RMNP. He explained the history of the park, present, & hopefully the future. We stayed mostly in the Van due to the wind & cold on that day. We did visit many of the parks within RMNP.

Bruce, picked us up @ the Visitors Center, drove through the town of Estes Park to RMNP. He explained the history of the park, present, & hopefully the future. We stayed mostly in the Van due to the wind & cold on that day. We did visit many of the parks within RMNP. We ventured out @ some areas, also @ Bear Lake just magnificent to see natural lake @ over 9,000 ft. We returned to Estes Park to their Golf Course, & saw at least 30-50 Elks. Wonderful ending to our tour.It was so nice to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery with a knowledgeable tour guide to describe the sights! We enjoyed a short hike to a beautiful waterfall and were thrilled to spot some moose later in the tour. Would definitely take this tour again!
