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!

We recently spent a day with Josh at Yellowstone doing the southern loop. We have a 14 year old and 13 year old. Setting up the trip was very easy and Josh laid out a trip with all the highlights and some off the beaten path hikes. We wanted to do as much as we could in 1 day. We started off a little rocky since at out meeting point we did not have cell reception and Josh was a little late (turns out the bison were holding up traffic). Fortunately, he had sent an e-mail that I had received prior to getting to the meeting point letting me know he was running late due to the bison. After that it was smooth sailing. Josh was tremendously knowledgeable about the history of the park, the ecology and even the politics. We had a lot of questions for him and he was able to really provide a great perspective on the park. We had a great lunch in an idyllic meadow and I felt he let us move at our own pace. It was a long day for the kids but we were really able to get a feel for Yellowstone in that one day. Josh was easy to spend time with, had a good sense of humor, sincere in his love of the park, and was flexible with his itinerary based on our family's needs.

We did the Lonestar Geyser hike with our guide Jake- a great experience. Length difficulty of the hike was perfect for those of us in moderate hiking shape, enjoyable and not overly strenuous. We would have never experienced the geyser, beautiful river and hiking trail views if not for the guided tour. Also tour provides a really nice lunch and snacks. We would definately hike again with Yellowstone Hiking Guides.

After returning home from my Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier national park trip I amazed friends and families with my new found knowledge of these magnificent western parks. I owe all that To the Josh and Emily Mahan. Their tireless work made it all possible and I am grateful to have journeyed with them. With their insight to this area I was able to see things I otherwise would have surely missed. Can't say enough if you've never visited the western parks please put it on your bucket list you'll be all the better for it. Words can't describe the beauty my eyes witnessed.
