Rocky Mountain National Park Private Tours

Join us for a private or semi-private tour of Rocky Mountain National Park’s west side, customized to your interests. Certified tour guide, celebrated historian, expert storyteller and long-time Grand Lake local, Dave Lively, will steer you away from the crowds and navigate to off-the-beaten-path landmarks that most would miss on their own in the comfort of a fully enclosed 4WD vehicle. Along the way, you’ll hear animated stories of the unique characters and hidden narratives that helped shape the early development of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Your group of no more than four passengers will travel through the stunning Kawuneeche Valley and up to the breathtaking overlook at Farview Curve, with opportunities for guests to request stops and take memorable photos along the way. We will stretch our legs with short walks to visit obscure historic sites such as the Harbison meadow the mining camp town site of Gaskill, the Buckaroo Barn and the locations of the long lost lodges of Rocky.

These special private tours of Rocky Mountain National Park from Grand Lake will leave you with unforgettable memories and inspire you to encourage your children and grandchildren to preserve the wilderness, wildlife and wonder of the majestic Rocky Mountains far into the future.
