Had a great tour with Matthew. Very knowledgeable guide but also made it fun. Was very good at spotting animals in the wild for us-we saw bald eagles and Dall sheep. The stop at the Wildlife Conservation Center was awesome-enjoyed seeing brown bears and a grizzly playing in the snow as well as lots of other native animals.
Great tour
