He gave insight and shared stories that will truly enhance our understanding and visits to the park.

“Dave Lively is one of the most dynamic and passionate history speakers we have had the pleasure to present here at the Town of Frisco Historic Park & Museum. Dave is a true storyteller and brings all of his historic tours and slide shows to life! We are privileged to have him participate in our two educational speaker series here at the Museum.”

“Dave Lively’s presentation “Rocky’s West Side Stories” is superb. Probably no one knows more or tells the story of the valley so well. Dave’s own family has deep roots in that gorgeous mountain valley on the headwaters of the Colorado River, known by the Arapaho as Kawuneeche or Coyote Creek. Dave provides a unique mix of family history, his own scholarship and his experience leading tours of that fabled valley noted for its dude ranches, spectacular scenery, trout fishing and moose galore.”
