From a thoughtfully designed itinerary to a private journey personally hosted by Stephen, we shape your national park experience around your interests, your pace, and the details that matter to you.

Two ways to travel with us

Custom Trip Planning & Concierge Coordination

A thoughtful itinerary, well-matched lodging and activity ideas, a realistic route, and help coordinating the reservations and local expertise your trip calls for.

Personally Hosted, Fully Managed Journeys

Travel with Stephen by your side, with arrival arrangements, daily logistics, dining plans, and personal experiences thoughtfully managed around you. Available by special arrangement, with each journey tailored and individually quoted.

Every journey is individually proposed, with services, availability, and pricing clearly outlined before you book.

Support hours and any around-the-clock availability are defined in each personally hosted journey's proposal.

A family postcard. A place rediscovered.

After exploring Rocky Mountain National Park with Stephen, two returning guests joined him for ten personally hosted days in Glacier and Waterton. Every day was shaped around them—including a search for the place pictured on a decades-old family postcard.

Meet Stephen

I'm Stephen Branum, founder of Estes Park Concierge and My Park Tours. I live in Estes Park, Colorado, where years of private guiding in Rocky Mountain National Park have shaped how I think about a good journey: personal, unhurried, and attentive to the people sharing it.

I'm also the wildlife photographer behind The Untamed View. Filming my own wildlife footage encourages patience, respectful observation, and an appreciation for the moments that cannot be scheduled.

With My Park Tours, I bring that approach to custom itineraries and personally hosted journeys by special arrangement. We begin with your interests, your pace, and what is already planned, then work through the practical details together. My aim is simple: a well-considered trip that still feels like yours.

Practical questions

Can Stephen guide us inside every park?

In-park guiding depends on destination-specific rules and permissions. The arrangement available for each trip is discussed before booking.

Who handles reservations and third-party costs?

Stephen can help coordinate the lodging, activities, and local expertise chosen for your journey. Your individual proposal explains which arrangements My Park Tours will coordinate, which you will book or pay for directly, and what third-party costs are separate. Sending an inquiry does not reserve or charge for anything.
