Custom Wildlife & Ecology Tours
If your visit to Rocky Mountain National Park doesn’t line up with one of our regularly scheduled bus tours, we can schedule a private tour to fit your schedule! We will work with you to plan a customized trip that brings your family or group into the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park with multiple stops for educational outings and/or short hikes. Our experienced guides will help plan a route tailored to your interests, whether that’s tundra ecology, geology and glacial features, the history of Rocky Mountain National Park, or something else entirely. Itineraries can also be customized to include short strolls along a lake shore or more challenging short hikes as desired.
Group Size: up to 14 people
Price: $600
Tours are 3 hours in length. You choose the time and date.
Interested in Step-on Tour Guides for Your Motor Coach?
The Field Institute will provide a step-on naturalist guide to meet your coach at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center or the Fall River Visitor Center. Using information that you provide about your group, we will tailor a program for a custom tour of Rocky Mountain National Park from the comfort of your vehicle.
Motor coach tours or vehicles of 7 or more people:
0-4 hours/half day $300
4-8 hours/all day $500
*Price for a Step-on Tour Guide does not include entrance fees to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Custom Field Institute Courses
