We spent the day Touring Yellowstone with our guide Jedediah, and another guide who was as familiar with the park as he was, but who was just starting with the company (she did snow-cat tours in Yellowstone during the winter).
They took turns driving, and pointing out all their favorite spots along the way. There is NO WAY we ever would have been able to see what we saw in a single day without going on this tour.
The timing of everything they chose for us to see was perfect, and even timed the bathroom breaks. We were right there up front and center when Old Faithful erupted, and saw LOTS of other geysers with no real eruption schedule, go off all around us. The experiences were magical.
We saw moose, fox, elk, bison and more, and learned SO much about everything in the park. There was not one thing these guides didn't want to talk about, and know like they had written the books about it. In fact, it seemed they had both read all the books about the history and geology of Yellowstone, and quoted passages here and there.
At one point, we had a really nice picnic, in an out of the way spot, and there were plenty of snacks and drinks to keep us happy all day. I thought a 12 hour trip would be too much, but we spent a lot of time outside and walking, and it really flew by.
Jed was happy to take our pictures any time we asked, and he just could not have been nicer and more accommodating.
This tour was perfect, and WELL worth the money and time. I feel like we saw so much, and couldn't possibly have done more, without ever feeling rushed in any way. We could have stayed anywhere as long as we wanted but Jed kept it all moving along, and loved it all just as much as we did. We had the 2 guides, and us and one other couple so it was a small group and it felt like we were all experiencing it all together in the same way. Thanks to you all for a once-in-a-lifetime experience my wife and I will never forget!
