 When
on your trip to Yellowstone, become one of the 6% who
leave the boardwalks and roads of Yellowstone National
Park. Join us for a Day Hike or Snowshoe Trek on quiet
mountain trails within the park or in the adjoining
Gallatin National Forest. While traversing the trails
and taking in the magnificent vistas we will also have
the opportunity to view birds and wildlife. In
conjunction with Back Country Sports, a permitted park
concessionaire, we are able to offer day hikes and
snowshoe treks to waterfalls, geysers and wilderness
areas most never see.
Yellowstone hiking provides an excellent opportunity for
wildlife and nature photography. We can walk to areas on
the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and in the Old
Faithful geyser basin for unique shots of the waterfalls
and thermals. On a cool early morning hike to Fairy
Falls, Lone Star Geyser or among the Hoodoos above
Mammoth Hot Springs it is not unusual to be the only
ones on the trail.
 In
the winter your Yellowstone guide can lead you on a
snow-covered trail near the old mining town of Jardine,
in Lamar Valley or further to the northeast near Cooke
City. Snowshoeing is a great adventure for your family
vacation. Learning is as easy as putting one foot in
front of the other, with the added challenge of not
stepping on your own snowshoes.
Yellowstone National Park hiking can be part of a custom
tour package. Spend one day in the lower region on a
Geyser and Waterfall tour,
rise early and enjoy a
Wildlife Tour
then return to your favorite part of the park for a day
hike.
The hikes will be limited to easy to moderate in level
of difficulty. Hikers are expected to provide and carry
a small pack for their water and lunch. We have a
limited number of snowshoes and can help you rent
additional pairs if needed for larger groups or special
sizes.
Our
rates start at
$395.00 for 1-4 persons. Included in the cost will be
transportation to the trailhead from Gardiner MT,
interpretive guide, and full meal in the field, water
and snacks. We will provide binoculars to enhance
viewing.

For
me, an adventure at Yellowstone focuses on the wealth of
wildlife-predators and prey alike in a spectacular natural setting.
I have found that having a knowledgeable guide like Rick Keats of
Yellowstone Yearround Adventures adds immensely to my enjoyment, by
leading me to prime wildlife watching areas, to be in the right
place, at the right time to have excellent opportunities for both
observing and photographing common as well as unusual wildlife in
the
Park.
I have traveled through the park with Yellowstone Yearround
Adventures during two seasons, once in winter and once in spring.
Both were very memorable and enjoyable outings.
