Geysers Galore - Dress for the weather. Bring backpack to carry lunch. Be ready for a long walk. Trails are mostly easy.

Loved this experience! - This was a great experience! Our guide, Spencer, was very knowledgeable and ensured we had a safe and fun experience. Thanks to a bison blocking our path in one area, we doubled back and caught Grand Geyser erupting up close, which really made our trip. We were also able to see Old Faithful erupt twice from different spots. Lunch was great. Highly recommend this hike!

What a great Day! - Just arrived home from 5 nights in the park. Spent two days with Yellowstone Hiking Guides. Our guide for the Geyser tour was Ron. What a pro! Great personality, knowledgeable and experienced. We have hiked with guides in Yosemite and in the Swiss Alps before, this was our best experience! The experience with Ron and Yellowstone Hiking Guides was excellent from booking through communications to meeting Ron in the field. Definitely use these guys!!

Great tour! - We had a fabulous hike with Ron, our guide. Ron is personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw many geysers and eruptions during the hike. Ours was a small group of 5 hikers. The hike was mostly on flat terrain. In sum, a most enjoyable tour.

Great hike through the... - Great hike through the geyser basin. Our guide, Jake was excellent. Very knowledgeable about nature and able to show us features that I would have missed on my own. We were able to see the major geysers (the "touristy" spots) but the majority of the hike was off the beaten path.

Wonderful way to experience Yellowstone! - Our family booked this experience for our recent trip to Yellowstone. Our guide, Dallas, was extremely knowledgeable and made the hike so much fun! We learned so much about the geothermal features, and he knew exactly when and where to go to get the most out of our six hours. I would highly recommend this tour!

Geysers - This hike was one of the best we have been on in Yellowstone. To see the different pools and learn about the heat determines which bacteria (if any) grow in it. We were very fortunate that we got to see 6 geisers erupt through out the hike. Michell took us up this hill above old faithful and we got to watch it from there. It is a tremendous sight down below but up above put it into a whole new perspective.
