Ian gave us a fantastic tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. We had our two kids with us and were able to travel at our own pace.He was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!

My husband and I loved our private tour of RMNP with Ian. Our full day Jeep tour was well worth the money and Ian customized it to our wants and our hiking abilities. It truly was the highlight of our week spent in Estes Park. Ian taught us about history, ecology, geology and wildlife. I had read an entire guidebook about the park but almost none of what Ian told us was covered in there. In addition to the tour, Ian took us through a Shinrin Yoku forest bathing exercise. We loved it and really learned to notice thing in our surroundings that we otherwise wouldn't have. We utilized it during our remaining days in RMNP and have also practiced it since coming home.I would highly recommend a private tour with Ian for anyone visiting Rocky Mountain National Park.

I had originally intended on doing an exploratory drive of RMNP on my own, but I truly maximized my park time by using Heathen Creek Outfitters! Ian provided a fascinating history of Estes Park landmarks, their historical figures, and their relevance to RMNP on top of a stellar drive all throughout the park. Ian went above and beyond in customizing my asks for the trip which were seeing waterfalls, moose, pika, marmot, stellar views, and cool birds! I went the private tour route and Ian was extremely agile with the time and my requests. Plus, the price was extremely reasonable for a private tour! I got to see so much more than I would have had I done a DIY trip and being able to customize it was so much better than doing a group tour.Furthermore, Ian informed me how to best prepare for the trip since those elevated regions get cold quickly! It was extremely reassuring to know that my guide was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also rescue certified.
