Ryan stands out as an exceptionally knowledgeable guide who brings decades of conservation experience to every tour. Guests consistently praise his ability to mimic bird calls naturally, his patience in helping people spot wildlife, and his skill at adapting tours on the fly based on individual interests. He's described as a fascinating conversationalist who shares insights without dominating the discussion, making the experience feel like exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than following a scripted tour. What really sets these tours apart is Ryan's commitment to accessibility. Multiple reviews highlight how thoughtfully he accommodates guests with mobility challenges, visual impairments, and varying physical abilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy birding regardless of limitations. Beyond his technical expertise with birds and local ecosystems, he provides comfortable transportation, prepares excellent vegetarian lunches, and creates a relaxed atmosphere where questions are encouraged. Whether you're brand new to birding or an experienced enthusiast, Ryan tailors the experience to your knowledge level while making sure you leave having learned something meaningful about Colorado's wildlife.
I can't believe it's taken me 5 months to write this review but that's certainly no reflection on the guided tour of the Rocky Mountains Ryan provided my family of three in August 2025. He is an incredibly skilled listener and will adapt his tour at a moment's notice to tailor it to your interests. I mentioned shortly after he picked us up from our hotel how I'd never seen a Bald Eagle's nest. Sure enough, he modifies our route and takes us to see our first one! He's also just a fascinating conversationalist. He doesn't force the conversation and let's you lead it but I encourage you to ask him about his experience of conserving eagles when they were endangered and how the entire process worked. He's definitely a Renaissance man- there's pretty much no area of conversation where he doesn't have engaging and interesting experiences to share. My absolute favorite moment of the trip was when were touring the Rockies and he started mimicking bird calls without the assistance of any technology or whistles. He literally would whistle and make noises with his mouth and the birds came in droves! It was like something out of Mary Poppins! Finally- Ryan will probably appreciate knowing how much we enjoyed our vegetarian lunch! Since then, we've been rocking the spinach, bell pepper, cucumber, and red pepper hummus multi-grain sandwiches. Most definitely a fun day and one we'll never forget!
