1.Private Birding Hike in Rocky Mountain National Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 58 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) Our pick

Review of a private Rocky Mountain National Park birding hike from Denver, with Ryan, wildlife spotting, lunch, transport, pricing, and practical tips.

“BOOK THIS TOUR! We had a great time with Ryan the Birdman. This is not your normal scripted tour. There is no stop 1, stop 2, stop 3.... Since this is a private tour, Ryan can ad lib to your liking. On our tour we saw Moose, Bald Eagles Golden Eagles, Horned Owls, Elk, Wild Turkey, Prarie Dogs, and more. There is no way we would have saw the things we did without Ryan. He would be driving and then just pull off the road, pull out his binoculars and call us out to look at some incredible animal. I cannot recommend this tour enough.”

4.Birding Hike and Hot Spring Soak from Denver

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · from $275

Review of a private Denver birding hike to a glacier, with wildlife watching, mountain views, lunch, and an Idaho Springs hot spring soak.

“I cannot recommend taking a tour with Ryan enough! The day prior to my tour the Denver area received roughly two feet of snow. Ryan reached out prior to the storm and was very flexible with our plans when the weather conditions did not allow for what was originally planned. Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable about birding, geology, and history. The tour was a great blend of learning, hiking, and relaxation. I could not recommend this enough for people looking for a unique experience!”
