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!

Last week we took the hike up Bunsen's Peak with Josh and Emily Jo. Everything about the experience was the absolute best. Josh and Emily were terrific guides, sharing stories and knowledge all along the way. And the views from Bunsen's peak were spectacular...by far this hike was the highlight of the time we spent in Yellowstone and far better than anything you can do from your car or the boardwalks. Josh and Emily somehow made a 10-mile, 6 hour excursion fly by. And, when you do this hike and they give you the option to hike down to Osprey Falls, make sure you say yes. It's a view and a waterfall not to be missed. Highly, highly recommend YHG.

We had a great hike with Josh up Bunsen Peak and down to Osprey Falls. We wanted a long hike with great views and the trip delivered. From the top of Bunsen Peak we could see all the way to the Tetons and Osprey Fall was magnificent. Josh set a good pace for us and led us through the patchy snow up the mountain. We saw lots of animals; deer, snow shoe hare, eagle, grouse, and even a bear. We would not have attempted such an adventurous hike without a guide like Josh. He took care of everything. It was a trip we will always remember.

My mother and I just spent 5 days visiting Yellowstone for the first time, and with very little knowledge of what to do or so in this national park, we decided to book a wildlife safari tour for our first full day there. It was undoubtedly the best decision, and the highlight of our trip. We were led by Josh and Emily Jo, two guides that have an incredible, seemingly bottomless knowledge of Yellowstone history, wildlife, and the environment. They were both so friendly and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day, ensuring that the hike was done at our pace and that we were seeing / learning all that we had hoped for. We would unreservedly recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Yellowstone for the first time!
