What To Expect

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Your expert guide will meet you at the Pavilion next to the Upper Falls Parking Area at 8AM. This is also the staring point for Uncle Tom's Trail. The hike is a 6-mile loop. The hike is along the Canyon Rim, through the forest out to Ribbon Lake, and then past a geyser basin, Clear Lake, and the Wapiti Meadows with big views of the Hayden Valley. If you hike one trail in Yellowstone this is it!

My fiancee and I did the Lonestar Geyser hike in early July and had an excellent experience! A few weeks prior to the trip, Josh reached out to us to tell us a guide had been injured and he needed to switch us to a different hike, but when we could not make that hike he was able to accommodate us on a different day. We appreciated this flexibility and willingness to make both his and our schedules work! The hike we ended up going on was great and our guide, Zach, was excellent, we even learned about local plant and animal life in the park.

We took both the Lone Star Geyser Hike (with Emily Jo Mahan) and the Lamar Valley Hike (with Josh Mahan). Both Josh and Emily Jo were fantastic and knowledgeable guides. We really enjoyed both hikes. The Lone Star Geyser was amazing. We saw fantastic wildlife in the Lamar Valley up close including a brown black bear that almost ran into us on the hiking trail. Highly recommend!!!

We had a 6 hour hike with Josh and the hike was great. Josh is very knowledgeable about everything in Yellowstone and provided great commentary during our hike. Some of our best views in the park were on this hike and Josh led us off the main trail along an “animal trail”. We were amazed that he knew the area like the back of his hand. We had many opportunities to see wildlife and got some great pictures. There are many opportunities to take photos, and we could stop whenever to take photos, rest, etc. A nice lunch was provided and we ate next to a scenic river. I would highly recommend this hike for anyone who would like to explore backwoods Yellowstone with an experienced hiker. My family was a bit worried that we would see wildlife like bears that would be aggressive, but we felt totally at ease and safe on this trip. Definitely give this hike a try!
