We spotted wolves, deer, elk, sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn and so many bison. I will say, although Phil has a long list of great qualities, my favorite moment of the trip was when he step up the scope for us, and then proceeded to pick up litter from the surrounding area. It's these small acts that show that he really cares about the park and wildlife that call it home.

We saw the bear spray could be rented for the day as it's expensive and can be returned if it's not used. We were reminded never to feed the animals store food properly, pay attention and be respectful. Hands and feet need to stay out of the water and we should be on boardwalks and designated trails. We were told that there are videos online of Tormons a mixture of tourist that are morons and do stupid things here

Black Canyon 31 May - 2 June 2025 with Frank, Mountain Man Guiding…read more Frank was amazing. Well prepared and seemed to have everything for every eventuality. His experience and knowledge of the trails, flora and fauna was reassuring and enhancing. Whilst we felt relatively fit 59 year olds, we were a little apprehensive over the challenges of hiking, free camping and staying safe. Frank planned the route perfectly and made sure that we did not "over do it" on any given day whilst posing a suitably satisfying challenge for us to ultimately celebrate and enjoy when in camp at sunset. The campsites were prebooked, private and located in the most perfect riverside settings. The balance of fabulous hand made (by Frank) dehydrated meals, freshly cut vegetables, snacks and perfect hot coffee ensured that we were well satiated. The day one wraps were inspired. The scenery throughout was awesome. Hellroaring and Yellowstone rivers thundered by the trail as we hiked. Spectacular and vast 360 degree views provide lasting memories whilst Frank's "stolen" photos and videos created a permanent memory of our days and as well as a terrific record of a very special and wonderful time. Absolutely we would hike again and if possible, with Frank. Thank you Andrew & Kate (Singapore / UK)

He had all the equipment needed for wildlife viewing and helped to ensure I could see everything through the scopes and binoculars. Throughout the tour he was able to provide education and would always stop when I wanted to take a picture. He provided a wonderful homemade lunch that took my dietary needs in account. We finished the day at Mammoth Hot Springs which was amazing. Spending the day in Yellowstone with Frank helped me to get my bearings and provided information needed for when I went back to Yellowstone without a guide. He is a kind person and I had a great time touring with him! Will definitely book again when I come back in the future and recommend him to anyone!

We found that you could take a short tour (about an hour) of LIvingston on this bus! The tour was so fun, and the driver and docent were fine representatives of open, friendly Livingstonians. The tour is casual and no reservations are needed. Just show up at the Livingston Depot Center at 6:30 pm on a Friday and Saturday night during the summer (this is the current schedule as of Summer 2018: the Main Street light pole signs have the old schedule posted). You get a wonderful sense of Livingston history, from the railroad's building of the town, it's close relationship to Yellowstone National Park, and the early leaders. Not to be missed!

My family…read morewas visiting me from Texas (my sister and her two boys) and California (my mom, daughter, and niece), and we rented a home in Big Sky for our trip. We booked the Yellowstone Lower Loop tour, and it was the perfect way to experience the park together. Our guide, Ben, was absolutely amazing! He arrived right on time at 7am with a spacious, super comfortable van fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a great tour; including binoculars, drinks, and snacks. Ben was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept the kids interested and made sure the entire group was enjoying themselves throughout the day. He was very accommodating to our interests, always asking if we wanted to stop when wildlife was spotted or if we wanted to take more time at certain locations. His flexibility made the whole day feel relaxed and tailored to us. Lunch was at Old Faithful, and it was a delicious treat; sandwiches, chips, fruit, and the best homemade chocolate chip cookie. Everything was provided and thoughtfully prepared. This was such a memorable and well-organized experience. I will absolutely be booking with Yellowstone Excursions again, whether it's to explore another area or when more friends and family come to visit us in Bozeman.
