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 family and I took a day hike with Josh and Emily Jo to ascend Bunsen Peak and then loop back to the trailhead. It was an amazing experience that allowed us to join the 1% of Yellowstone visitors to get off the main drag and into the Back country. The guides were full of information about the area and were able to answer our many questions. Emily Jo made an amazing lunch for us to enjoy in a glade on the way down. We will definitely use their services again the next time we go to Yellowstone as many more backcountry adventures await!

My family and I took a half day Lamar Safari Hike with Emily and Josh, and had great fun and lovely experiences! We saw wolves wondering around trying to grab the corpse back to their wolf pack, more than a hundred bisons blocking our trail ahead and slowly moved away, running pronghorns, badgers, etc. That was so exciting, especially for my eight-year girl. We learned a lot from Josh about walking in the wild and he was so sharp in finding animals around. We are also grateful that Emily helped to take quite some wonderful pictures for us! Josh and Emily are so sweet to walk with and we love the lunch picnic so much! Thank you lovely couple for the great safari! That was the really highlight of our stay at Yellowstone. Hope to see you another time!

My memories of visiting Yellowstone as a child are of fighting with my siblings in the car and seeing a herd of elk on the road. My boys, ages 11 and 15, will remember the wildflowers blooming in the backcountry as we hiked, the only people for miles in wild beautiful country. They'll remember a delicious gourmet lunch, skipping rocks in a pristine stream, the moose with her baby off in the distance, a huge buck out-staring us, yellow-bellied marmots playing on the rocks. Josh and Emily Jo gave us a gift - we could never have gone into the wilderness without experienced, knowledgeable guides who carried bear spray and knew how and taught us how to use it! We spent a week in the Yellowstone area and both kids agree this hike was the highlight. Josh and Emily Jo are not only experts at what they do, they are wonderful companions. After the hike Emily Jo thoughtfully emailed us some great pictures which we will cherish. Highly recommend!
