My wife and I spent a wonderful day with Josh and three others hiking through the Lamar Valley. Getting away from the road and people to see the great outdoors was a tremendous way to spend the day and it was the highlight of our stay. Josh is very knowledgeable about the park having been a hiker for 30+ years. He is also very cautious, steering us around three testy bison bulls. We also saw newborn pronghorns, numerous birds and grizzly markings.. Josh talked a lot about nature and knew the various plants and trees we encountered. Lunch on the banks of the Snake River was wonderful as well. Can't say enough about what a great experience this was.

My husband, 9-year-old son and I went on 2 hikes with this outfit, the first with Josh to Lamar and the second with Emily Jo to Lone Star Geyser. Both were the highlights of our trip. Both Josh and Emily Jo keep safety in mind during the hikes. They have so much knowledge of the animals and history and you can tell they love what they do. Both were amazing with my son, who was fascinated and wants to be a hiking guide now! Josh and Emily Jo, it was a real pleasure meeting you and spending the days with you. Thanks for being one of the best parts of our trip! Good luck finding the treasure! --Jill

We did the Lone Star Geyser hike and it was fantastic. We gave it 5 stars, but my son said we should give it 17 if we could! Emily Jo is extremely knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna! She answered all of our questions and didn't mind that we stopped every 10 feet to look at footprints and scat! We learned a ton! We wish we had had time to do another hike with them.
