This tour is your opportunity to experience Yellowstone in a way not many ever do.

The goal of this safari is to reach beyond the roads and boardwalks and see the beauty of the Rocky Mountains without distraction. We utilize trails to thundering waterfalls, pristine river valleys, rugged mountain peaks, and secret thermal areas out of reach to the unsuspecting tourist. Our guides are extremely well-trained and will offer guests their guidance, knowledge, and care to have the most comfortable outdoor experience possible.
