What people love about touring Yellowstone National Park solo
- 8 Day Grand Teton & Yellowstone Explorer
Phil and Traci were more than helpful, understanding of my needs. Phil is well versed in knowledge and history of the area. He made the moments of the trip interesting.
This trip was completely worth the time and money spent! We had the pleasure of having two guides: Gannon and Rachel, and they could not have been nicer people. Informative, enlightening, funny, interesting -- they just couldn't have been any better. The scenery in Grand Teton and Yellowstone was magnificent, and we saw plenty of wildlife, up close and at a distance. Hotels were pleasant, and the meals were good. I would recommend this trip to anyone who hasn't traveled to the western United States.
Yellowstone / Grand Teton 4 Day / 3 Night Wildlife Adventure
- 4 day Yellowstone and Tetons in depth tour from Salt Lake City Small Groups Tour
Great Trip!! I am just trying to figure out how to live in regular time after Wyoming/Montana time. Chris was a wonderful guide, fun, understanding, kind and knowledgeable. I believe we were really lucky to have him. I could only imagine when he dropped the last of us off that he sighed a sigh of relief. We were lively!! He was great about getting our collective input and really good about asking if any of us needed restroom breaks! We saw a lot of animals in the wild, in Yellowstone, bears, including a grizzly, moose, elk, bison, antelopes and more. No shy wolves, but we did get to see them at the sanctuary. The Tetons were breathtaking. The camping was great and we all got to participate in the meals which was a lot of fun. The age range probably with a guess was mid 70’s to 20. I am a mid 50’s woman and I thought I would be different. I can assure you I was not, but everyone connected, even with age and life experience differences. I felt very safe travelling alone with this group…..no need for the mace that I bought in the desert….that is another story. I wasn’t sure when I booked the trip through a tour search engine if any of it was real……but LOL…….it was. I communicated with Bindlestiff a number of times and I found them to be great, real people sitting in real office in Vegas. The best of luck with your decision.
