Kyle was a great guide and found us a lot of wildlife and a bear which my wife loved. Lots of geysers and great scenery.

There are not enough words to express how impressed we were with this trip. We were a group of 19, 11 kids / 8 adults. We spent two days with the most incredible guides, including Kyle. They were beyond knowledgeable about the wildlife, plant life and the park overall. We all learned a tremendous amount of over the course of the two days. Our guide knew where to look for the best wildlife – we were able to see two wolves feasting on an elk, which sounds a little gross but to see the wolves in their natural habitat living free was incredible. We saw bears, grizzlies, goats, elk, and of course Bison.

Our guide Kyle was the best! He knew where to be in the park to give us the best chance of seeing as much wildlife as possible and boy did we see a lot! We were able to see multiple grizzlies and wolves and listen to a pack of wolves howling! Kyle was able to answer all of our questions and never rushed us once in our experiences which was great! His passion for Yellowstone is contagious! Definitely recommend this experience!
