Yellowstone Wildlife Tour Services
Hiking Tours & Excursions
Having spent fourteen summers as a wilderness Park Ranger in Yellowstone, Glacier, Denali, Katmai and Sequoia & Kings Canyon Parks, my knowledge of the area and hiking in bear country can make a huge difference in your safety and enjoyment of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
My love of these Parks will come out during my passionate educational talks about these National Treasures.
I look forward to the priviledge of sharing my love of this area with you, and I’m confident it will be one of the highlights of your vacation.
Please Note
Hiking tours have been temporarily paused. In the meantime, please consider booking a car and walking tour or take advantage of my helpful trip planning and consulting services.
What I Offer
I offer private guided hiking excursions into both Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks.
Hiking in Grizzly Bear country provides its own unique challenges. Let me help make your journey as safe, confortable and interesting as possible.
I’m also available to help plan your own hiking excursion if you prefer to explore on your own.
Tours are conducted between May 1st and October 31st.
What to Expect
My service caters to what you would like to see, and what aspects of the Parks you want to explore. I will provide an interpretive talk of what we are seeing as we hike through the Parks.
Where to Meet
I can meet you anywhere in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem between Bozeman, Montana and Jackson, Wyoming to start your hike.
Additional Services
I am happy provide up-to-date advice on the best places to fly in, stay, rent a car, available deals, locations to visit outside of the Parks and other logistical aspects of your visit.
Fees
An 8-hour tour is $675 with additional hours at $50.
During the busy July and August months, all tours are 10-hours minimum at $775 with additional hours at $50.
I don’t want you to miss out on this opportunity, so I am also willing to negotiate, barter and trade, also ask about a possible discount.
Refund/Cancellation Policy
If you cancel your trip within 2 weeks of the date scheduled and I am not able to rebook that date to another party, you will forfeit your deposit. If I can rebook the date to an additional party, I will refund 100% of your deposit minus a $100 processing fee.
If you book additional, out-of-pocket services like vehicle rentals, food, or spotting gear rentals, you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance. Otherwise, you will have to pay for those services even if you don’t use them.
Tours are given regardless of weather conditions.
