5.00Elijah was a total expert in both wildlife and the geology of the park. He answered questions based on our experience as well as conspiracy theories about the future of seismic activity in Yellowstone. He shared funny experiences from his years ans an guide and gave us references for further education. It was such a pleasure!

5.00The tour was the highlight of our vacation in Yellowstone National Park. Being able to see the beautiful views without needing to drive was perfect. Frank was incredibly knowledgeable with all things Yellowstone and a delight to be with. The love he had for his job was palpable. We saw each of the items that were listed in the itinerary. The high powered binoculars and spotting scopes allowed us to see more wildlife than the naked eye. Frank could spot them like a pro
Wonderful Experience!

5.00We can't say enough about our Yellowstone tour! We saw lots of bison as well as black wolves and pups, pronghorn, and elk. Frank was an amazing guide!! He shared his great knowledge and love of the park, as well as his own personal experiences, as we tried to take in the beauty of Yellowstone. It says a lot when your guide asks if you MIND if the tour runs long. It was our first time to Yellowstone, but it won't be the last!
