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!
