“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!”
