10/10 Recommend - Elijah was a great tour guide and with his expertise, we were able to see so many animals that we couldn’t have on our own. We saw everything from Bison and Elk, to wolf packs, a black bear, prong horn, a mountain goat, osprey, and even some animal carcasses. Elijah is beyond knowledgeable in his field and clearly has so much love for his job. He had an answer for every question and knew all of the perfect spots to catch any wildlife or scenery we were interested in. He also had plenty of snacks for the road with a nice picnic stop for lunch. Additionally, Elijah took videos through his scope which created such an amazing image of the animals, which he then sent to us at the end of the trip. I would recommend this tour, and Elijah as the guide specifically, to anyone who wants an in-depth Yellowstone wildlife experience.

Great! - Our tour guide was Elijah, and he was very knowledgeable about the animal behavior in the park. We were very lucky to witness wolves attempting to hunt a bison. We also saw pronghorn deer, ospreys, hawks and mountain goats.

Excellent introduction to the park - This was our first day in the park and an excellent introduction to its wildlife. Elijah was so knowledgeable and expert at spotting wildlife, and his scopes made it possible to see animals beyond the reach of our binoculars. He made every effort to find us the animals of most interest to the group, and we had a fantastic experience

Great wildlife in the Lamar Valley - Lamar Valley Yellowstone is often referred to as America’s Serengeti - a little over the top perhaps - but arguably the best wildlife in the lower 48! Our guide Frank, was extremely knowledgeable with history ( reeling off names and dates like an expert ) , geology and natural history as he kept us amused with stories about Yellowstone the first National Park in the world . We saw Black bear , Grizzlies ( Mama and three second year cubs) ,many bison ,pronghorn , mountain goat, and both eagles . Highlight for us was very close sighting of two juvenile moose - something even Frank hadn’t seen this year ! We didn’t get to see wolves today despite much effort but we know Frank’s next clients saw the Junction Butte pack because we did too on the next day when we revisited the impressive Lamar Valley . Thanks for use of scope Frank and for all the tales related during the day . Highly recommended

Professional tour. - Frank was an awesome tour guide. We saw a variety of animals including black bear, and grizzly bears through the scope that Frank took the time to set up. We saw mountain goats drinking from a stream and an osprey nest. What a great way to give my husband a break from driving. Frank is knowledgeable about the park and surrounding area.

A day to remember! - This was our first time to Yellowstone and this was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! My son’s biggest wish was to see wildlife and Frank hit it out of the park! Frank was so patient with our son(11 yrs old) and so knowledgable about the park it was incredible. It wasn’t but 30 mins in and we were already looking at a black bear. Then, later in the day, we were studying the bear’s den with Frank’s high powered field scopes that make you feel like you are standing right there. He was so good at getting the scopes set up and focused on the wildlife, he was a true pro. You can judge his character by watching him help others that were not even on the tour with their equipment or where the wildlife was. He loved the park and he loved showing it off to us. This tour was worth every penny and we would go again if ever returning. We saw both type bears, mountain goats, moose, bison, eagles, ospreys and talked a ton of wolves. We searched and searched for wolves since that is what we wanted to see but never seen any. We would have never seen most of the wildlife without the help of Frank and we learned so much during the day. So much fun!

Outstanding and memorable trip with a great guide - We were incredibly fortunate to be the only two on this tour. Frank, our guide was warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable on history, animals, geology and all things Yellowstone. We were so lucky to see Moose, Elk, Bison, Wolves, Grizzlies, Black Bear, Mountain Goats and Prong Horn deer as well as Ospreys, Bald Eagle and Buzzard. Take warm clothes, may be cool in the early morning, and patience is required to reap great rewards. Taking photos was tricky as some animals were a long way off, but the scopes and binoculars provided made this easy to view those that were out of naked eye sight. We cannot thank Frank enough for this memorable trip and having the best pair of eyes to spot a new pack of wolves. Thoroughly recommended!!
