Yellowstone Hiking Guides safely leads hiking groups into the Lamar Valley on a wildlife viewing day hike tour.
Our guides are experts and fun is a top priority. Regularly, we spot wolves, bears, and other rare wildlife from the trail in the backcountry of Yellowstone.
Our tours are off the beaten path, traveling on bison trails for the majority of the hike. Most tour providers in Yellowstone spend the majority of the day on the road, or very close to the road. Our guides take you into the backcountry for unique views of the Lamar Valley that you cannot see from the roadway.
Frequently, our guests tell us that they could not do this hike on their own. We also hear feedback stating this is the best part of our guest's vacation to Yellowstone.

Or tour guide, Josh was personable and knowledgable. He came prepared with any equipment needed to make the hike enjoyable and save. We experienced many upclose and personal wildlife sightings

Really enjoyable 6 mile hike that gets you away from the crowded roads in the Lamar Valley and the ability to see the wildlife up close in a safe manner. Our guide really knew the area and was able to lead a great hike. It was time well spent.

We did our tour early in the season and were lucky to have a small group which made the tour very personal. The guides told us in advance what to bring, but they also provided many backup items in case we forgot anything. I took advantage of the beanie hats they had since it was very windy early that day.
Our guides did a great job of keeping us safe, anticipating what the animals might do with a variety of factors in play. They also explained what they might do and why they might do it, which was educational.
Our guides had eagle eyes and spotted two different mammals bears with cubs up in the hills and set up a scope to let us see them well across the long distance. I loved that they were always ready to pull out a book to answer questions about flowers and birds.
Thanks to Emily Jo, Austin and Marissa for a memorable day (and for the gummy bears 😀)

Austin, Marissa, and Emily Joe were awesome and gave us a wonderful tour!! We saw 1 Grizzly with 2 cubs and another Grizzly with 1 cub! We also saw bison (including a newborn), prong horns, coyote, ground squirrels, mountain bluebird, and a red tanager. If you get a chance, it's a great tour!!

Our family group of 11 ranged in ages from 13 to 68. We all had a great hike in the Lamar Valley. Our guide, Joshua, was outstanding! He paid close attention to all of our needs - from a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on arrival, to his knowledge of the area and animals to the pacing of the hike to keep us all comfortable. Joshua made this hike the highlight of our week in Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

Emily Jo was fantastic. She took us on a day hike of Lamar Valley. We were welcomed with hot coffee or tea and a snack. Emily Jo is very knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife of Yellowstone, while she also shared some fun anekdotes with us. Foodwise we were well taken care of during the hike. We got to see numerous bisons, pronghorn, ground squirrels, Elk and birds like the American dipper, the Mountain Bluebird, the Bald Eagle and raven. All in all a great day.

Too much fun! Great day out in the Yellowstone Lamar River Valley countryside. Saw all sorts of wildlife. Guide was personable, knowledgeable, and turned our group of "new friends" into a happy hiking family sharing this unique experience. Very safety oriented.
