Custom Learning Experiences

Custom Wildlife & Ecology Programs

If your visit to Rocky Mountain National Park doesn’t line up with one of our regularly scheduled programs, we can schedule a private program 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 include short strolls along a lake shore or more challenging short hikes as desired.

Group Size: up to 14 people

Price: $600, including park entry fees and timed entry permits if required

Programs are 3-4 hours in length. You choose the time and date, subject to staff availability, June through October. Requests must be made at least two weeks in advance. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate requests for custom programs during periods of high visitation.

Motor Coach Step-on Tour Guides

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. Please note that step-on tours must depart from and return to the same location.

Group Size: 7 or more people

Price: $300 for up to 4 hours,  $500 for 4 to 8 hours

*Price for a Step-on Tour Guide does not include entrance fees to Rocky Mountain National Park. Your group is responsible for commercial entrance fees based on the capacity of your vehicle.

**You will NOT need to secure a timed entry permit for your step-on tour program.
