We get views of the wildlife of the salt marsh that people almost never have an opportunity to see. We sail daily from April until October so we always know where we are likely to see the most interesting birds and with 25 years of experience running these tours we know where we are likely to have the best trip. Our route varies daily depending on conditions.

This is a great opportunity to experience the Rockies from a local's perspective. Plus you'll walk away with incredible photos of you! Most of our favorite locations are located 30 min - 1 hour West or Southwest of Denver. The most beautiful spots are nested just in the foothills. Most of the locations are places that you likely wouldn't seek out on your own!

Inclusions: 1 hour photo session and $50 digital image credit

We thoroughly enjoyed our full day of birding with Gallus Quigley in February. He put together an interesting agenda including several different ecosystems. Gallus is a master birder, biologist, ecologist, and teacher. We highly recommend Archaeopteryx Birding and Nature Tours. We definitely plan to join Gallus and Bec on birding tours in the future!

Amazing sunset tour of White Pockets with Jeff and an even more amazing day at Coyote Buttes South with Ron the next day. Toured White Pockets with Jeff for sunset-got to hike around the area and was treated to a late arrival of golden hour high clouds for sunset photos. Coyote Buttes South (permit area) was even more amazing. Lots of oohs and aahs at every corner. Guided to many off the beaten path locations by Ron, who is a wealth of information on local flora and fauna. If you're ready for lots of up and down hiking, you are in for special "bucket list" hike and experience.

Paul is such a great tour guide! He is not only knowledgeable and super friendly, but also well managed our expectation by communicating clearly the tour details before the tour day. He is also passionate about his job and has never asked us to give tips or reviews like other tours may do. I rarely write reviews but this one does make me want to leave one here. The place Valley of Fire itself is stunning and breathtaking.

We chose to do this slot hike with Cathy Church, a local guide that everyone we asked recommended. Well it was a great recommendation and quite an adventure for the two of us. We met early in am and she drove us out to the slot canyon through the desert and boy quite a ride but she handled the tricky driving with ease, never felt in danger. We got to the canyon at the perfect time with the sun peaking down through as we hiked and climbed our way to the end. Was only one other couplle there at the same time and that was wonderful for our picture taking of the lovely colors. Cathy is fund and very well versed in the local area and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We were scheduled to do Antelope Canyon which is I am sure very beautiful ut would have had too deal with the multitude of other people there. This was a very wise choice for us to experience the Slot canyon and we are fortunate to have had Cathy as our guide. Highty recommend this tour.

I'll point out interesting landmarks along the way, like the very unique Bob Hope house, Mt San Gorgonio (the tallest mountain in So Cal), Indian Canyons & other points of interest. Depending on the time of year I've seen the endangered Peninsular Bighorn Sheep on this hike. They'll be lots of opportunities for taking beautiful scenic photos & I'll point out some of the best photo spots. If you want to do this hike or any of my hikes on a certain date/time contact me, thanks.

Hiking with Carlos was such an enjoyable experience. He customized the hike exactly to my schedule and expectations, and we went on a 5-hour hiking on the southern mountains of Palm Springs. He was a very experienced guide to plan out the timing and routing, as well as offering the guiding and learning experience. The view throughout was gorgeous with a combination of both the civilizations as well as the lower desert mountains. I’m really glad that that I booked this tour as I probably won’t be able to hike the trials on my own. So for any travelers who are looking for a unique hiking experience around Palm Springs area, get in touch with Carlos to speak about your thoughts, and you won’t regret it.
