Acknowledgment of Risk

RMNP/RMNPhotographer Tours Participant Acknowledgment of Risk 

In consideration of the services of officers, agents, employees, and stockholders, and all other persons or entities associated with those businesses (hereafter collectively referred to as “RMNPhotographer”) I agree as follows: 


Although RMNPhotographer has taken reasonable steps to provide me with appropriate equipment and skilled guides so I can enjoy an activity for which I may not be skilled, RMNPhotographer has informed me this activity is not without risk. Certain risks are inherent in each activity and cannot be eliminated without destroying the unique character of the activity. These inherent risks are some of the same elements that contribute to the unique character of this activity and can be the cause of loss or damage to my equipment, or accidental injury, illness, or in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death. 


RMNPhotographer does not want to frighten me or reduce my enthusiasm for this activity, but believes it is important for me to know in advance what to expect and to be informed of the inherent risks. The following describes some, but not all, of those risks. 


  1. The use of any equipment provided by RMNPhotographer;
  2. Any fall or injury that may occur while participating in the tour;
  3. Any fall or injury caused due to wildlife encounters;
  4. Any negligent acts or conduct of the RMNPhotographer guide, its owners, affiliates, operators, employees, guides, and officers;


I am aware that entails risks of injury or death to any participant. I understand the description of these inherent risks is not complete and that other unknown or unanticipated inherent risks may result in injury or death. 


I agree to assume and accept full responsibility for the inherent risks identified herein and those inherent risks not specifically identified. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary; no one is forcing me to participate, and I elect to participate in spite of and with full knowledge of the inherent risks.


I acknowledge that engaging in this activity may require a degree of skill and knowledge different from other activities and that I have responsibilities as a participant. I acknowledge that the staff of RMNPhotographer has been available to more fully explain to me the nature and physical demands of this activity and the inherent risks, hazards, and dangers associated with this activity. 


I certify that I am fully capable of participating in this activity and have no physical or mental condition that precludes our group participants from participating in the RMNPhotographer Guided Tour. 


Therefore, I assume and accept full responsibility for myself and our group participants including all minor children in our care, custody, and control, for bodily injury, death, or loss of personal property and expenses as a result of those inherent risks and dangers identified herein and those inherent risks and dangers not specifically identified, and as a result of my negligence in participating in this activity.
