Explore the Rocky Mountain National Park on a private geology tour. Travel through time as you witness evidence of major rock and mineral forming processes that took place hundreds of millions of years ago. Discover ancient mountains that formed more than a billion years ago, as well as landscapes formed by later volcanic eruptions.

Meet your guide at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and set off on your adventure. Be oriented to the park using 3D maps explaining major geologic topography. Explore evidence of the powerful tectonic, volcanic, and glacial forces that created the park’s landscape.

Decipher the geologic story behind the breathtaking scenic vistas of the park’s best overlooks and active wildlife habitats. Learn how to recognize major RMNP rocks and minerals, including metamorphic Gneiss and Schist, and intrusive and volcanic rocks from the inner earth.

Locate 5 ancient glacial valleys and today’s 8 named glaciers along with prominent peaks, and the park’s 3 mountain ranges. Relive indigenous American legacies dating back over 11 thousand years and colorful pioneer history starting in 1800’s.
