Yellow Wood Guiding offers Naturalist guided Photo Safaris and Wildlife Tours through Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Colorado and presentations throughout the Rocky Mountain Front Range. Each private guided tour is customized for you; we'll hike or drive as far as you want, try to find everything you want to see, and work around your schedule from sunrise to sunset.  Our guide provides all the equipment and expertise you need to have one of the most unforgettable nature experiences of your life.

Yellow Wood Guiding strives to provide quality experiences for all of our guests. Tours are limited to only 4 people so you get personal attention. Tours are designed for adults and children 10 and up, but younger children are welcome. Sharing nature and wildlife is our primary goal.  

As Estes Park legendary naturalist Enos Mills wrote in The Adventures of a Nature Guide, "Touched by a nature guide the wilderness...becomes a wonderland."
