Overview of your Colorado tour:

Join me on an immersive wildlife photography adventure through Rocky Mountain National Park. As a professional photographer and Colorado native, I’ll guide you to prime locations where elk, moose, bighorn sheep and other wildlife roam. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a beginner, this tour offers personalized instruction to help you capture stunning images of the park's diverse fauna. We'll utilize quiet observation techniques to minimize disturbance, allowing for authentic wildlife photography opportunities. Depending on the season, we may witness behaviors like elk rutting or moose foraging. Together we'll explore areas like Moraine Park & the Alpine Tundra, known for their rich wildlife habitats. With the golden light of dawn or dusk enhancing our experience, you'll not only witness but also photograph the natural behaviors of these magnificent creatures in their native environment. This tour is designed to adapt to wildlife patterns, ensuring the best chances for memorable encounters.

-After we've gathered, our journey begins at Highway 36's Estes Park sign, offering a picturesque backdrop for a group photo. -From there, we'll enter Rocky Mountain National Park, focusing on wildlife-rich areas such as Moraine Park, Fall River & the Alpine Tundra (each renowned for sightings of elk, moose, deer, Pika, Marmots & bighorn sheep). -We'll proceed to travel where we need to find animals as they move through the 450 square miles of RMNP, making sure to cover hotspots for all inhabiting wildlife, such as: - Moraine Meadow - Sheeps Lake - Endo Valley - Fall River - Bear Lake Corridor -At last, I'll drop you off at an agreed point (special requests for finishing locations could be accommodated within reason). Note: Although there's never a guarantee for any wildlife to be in a spot, my intimate park knowledge will give us the advantage of seeking fauna thoroughly. That being said, if animals aren't out, I'll take you to other park locations with spectacular backgrounds to find the perfect shots.
