About the Instructor:
Larry Schneider has had a longtime interest in history. In his earlier years he worked at the Missouri History Museum where, among other things, he was responsible for innovative museum theatre programs. Larry first came to Rocky Mountain National Park in 1963 at the age of 5 and has been returning ever since. With his enriched knowledge and appreciation of the legacies that make this area the place that it is today, Larry’s passion for history creates an exciting and engaging course. Being a hike master at YMCA of the Rockies is a dream retirement job for Larry because it allows him to pursue two of his passions: nature and history. Larry hails from St. Louis, Missouri, where he still lives in the offseason.
