Sunrise 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 fantastic! He provided everything he promises and more! We started out the morning with a beautiful sunrise from the best point in the park, spent a good chunk of the time snowshoeing off trail where we were able to see elk and tracks of other wildlife, then finished off the tour with a quick drive through a couple of historic points in Estes Park. Throughout the our, Bruce provided facts about the nature and wildlife of the park, the history of the park, and history of the town of Estes Park. I felt safest all times and all equipment was provided for a stress-free experience.Learning the history of the area wild life, plants and trees. How environmental actions us humans have taken has affected the balance of the park. It was very educational.

This tour was a great way to see the park if you’re short on time! Our guide, Bruce, picked us up promptly at 5:30am and took us into the park while it was still dark and the animals were just beginning to stir. I recommend the sunrise tour because for awhile, you’re pretty much the only people around. Of course, seeing the sun rise over the mountain peaks is an unforgettable experience as well. Bruce was fun to talk to and knew absolute everything about the area, especially the local wildlife. We saw tons of animals, got some great pictures, and learned a ton. Highly recommended!We had an exceptional experience with Bruce, our guide. Bruce is highly knowledgeable and very accommodating. We learned so much on our tour. Worth every penny!

Bruce, our tour guide, picked us up at our hotel as promised. The Sunrise tour was a good choice as the park was not crowded at that hour. He brought us to areas where we could see Elk in their habitat. He shared info about the plant /tree growth in different elevations ( tundra) . He brought us to the continental divide. The experience of being in the majestic Rockies was one that will remain with us forever. Thanks, Bruce.
