To make your Rocky Mountain Front Range Birding Tour comfortable, safe, and enjoyable, please review the following requirements before your adventure:

• Minimum Age: Guests must be at least 10 years old to participate. All guests ages 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

• Physical Ability: Participants should be comfortable walking on natural mountain trails with uneven terrain, inclines, and changes in elevation.

• Elevation: Our birding experience takes place anywhere between 6,000 to 8,000+ feet above sea level. Guests should be prepared for the effects of Colorado's higher elevation.

• Proper Footwear Required: Closed-toe, comfortable walking or hiking shoes with good traction are strongly recommended.

• Dress for the Mountains: Wear comfortable outdoor clothing and bring layers. Weather in the Colorado Front Range can change quickly, even during the summer.

• Bring Water: Each participant should bring sufficient drinking water and arrive well hydrated. We will provide extra water and snacks during the tour.

• Sun Protection: Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are recommended due to Colorado's high elevation and strong sunshine.

• Binoculars: Bring binoculars if you have them. A camera with a zoom lens is also welcome for guests interested in bird and wildlife photography. We will provide binoculars and a field guide.

• Medical & Mobility Considerations: Guests with medical conditions, mobility limitations, or other physical restrictions should contact us before booking to determine whether the terrain and elevation are appropriate.

• No Controlled Substances: Guests under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or other impairing substances will not be permitted to participate. Refunds or credits will not be provided in these circumstances.

• Wildlife Sightings: Birds and other wildlife are wild, so specific species or sightings cannot be guaranteed.

• Waiver Required: Every participant must complete a waiver before the tour. Parents or legal guardians may complete waivers for participants under 18.

• Weather: Tours operate in changing mountain conditions. Tours may be modified, postponed, or canceled when conditions create a safety concern.

Come prepared to enjoy a morning or afternoon exploring the beautiful Rocky Mountain Front Range. We recommend bringing:

• Binoculars – Bring your favorite pair for the best birding experience. If you do not have any, we will provide binoculars free of charge.

• Clothing - We suggest not wearing bright or colorful clothes. Birds react strongly to colors, so dark or earth tones would be better.

• Comfortable Hiking or Walking Shoes – Closed-toe shoes with good traction are recommended for mountain trails and uneven terrain.

• Water – Bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated, especially at higher elevation. We will provide extra water and snacks throughout the tour.

• Weather-Appropriate Layers – Colorado mountain weather can change quickly, so a light jacket or extra layer is always a good idea.

• Sun Protection – Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are highly recommended.

• Camera – Optional, but encouraged! Bring your camera or phone to capture birds, wildlife, and beautiful Rocky Mountain scenery. Add on photography package for a fee if you don’t have a camera.

• Small Backpack – Helpful for carrying water, layers, snacks, and personal items while keeping your hands free for binoculars.

• A Sense of Curiosity – You never know what you’ll spot! Every birding tour is different depending on the season, weather, and wildlife activity.

Please leave speakers and loud music behind. Keeping noise to a minimum gives everyone a better opportunity to observe birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
