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!

Josh & Emily Jo were OUTSTANDING! We met them in Gardiner and road in their (very clean) van into Yellowstone. All the way into the park they were pointing out features to notice and answering our questions. There were so knowledgeable! Then we arrived at Lamar Valley for our 3 mile hike. We unloaded and realized the temperature had changed drastically and it started to rain. But it was no problem, as Josh started pulling out fleece sweatshirts and jackets for everyone. While he was doing that, Emily Jo was pouring lemonade and passing out home-baked treats. What a special touch! Then we started our hiking adventure. Again, they educated us the entire time... about the land, the climate, the animals, the foiliage, EVERYTHING! At the halfway point of our hike, they set up a telescope for us to see even further. And while we were taking turns looking through it, they prepared a spread of gourmet appetizers. We hiked back to the van and drove back to Gardiner. The entire experience was PHENOMENAL. But wait... then we get home and have a email from Emily Jo that included the most spectacular photos of our family. She'd taken photos of the entire experience and shared the digital images with us. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dynamic duo for anyone interested in a guided hike at Yellowstone.

We saw big horn sheep, American prong horn, trumpeter swans, elk, Bison by the hundreds and wolf pups !! Getting off the road with Josh and Emily Jo was the highlight of our trip. They are both very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very obviously love what they are doing. If you are thinking of taking a tour, go with Josh and Emily Jo. We were left with unforgettable scenes and lasting memories !!!! All that and they pack great lunches !!

We had an amazing time with Emily and Josh. During our hike we encountered so many animals that it feel like these guys stages them. LoL. Mama bear and two cubs, bison stampede, mountain goat on the highest peaks of the rocks - this was the most existing time we've spent. I felt very secure sitting in their van and watching hundreds of bison running around. They are very knowledgeable and demonstrated high professional skills in the situation of close encounter with the bears. We would highly recommend these guys - you don't want to wonder around Yellowstone park without the guides like Josh and Emily. Thank you very much for the great adventure we had in Yellowstone, Can't wait to do it again.
