All my tours are private and customized to the client. I have my commercial insurance and I am certified to drive passengers by the State of Colorado. I am somewhat of a history buff and have many tales of the Colorado Wild West as well as my family history of the Hatfields and the McCoys. In addition I am a certified Internatational Guide and I have traveled extensively inside and outside the US. As a child I learned about other cultures as I lived in Switzerland and France and as an adult Mexico and Colombia. I love showing people the beautiful mountains of Colorado and the history behind the areas that we will visit. Please note that Mount Evans will be closed during part of the winter and spring due to icy conditions on the road. It is usually open all summer into mid fall. If closed I will take people up to the Continental Divide which is about 12,000 feet above sea level.
