We felt that her knowledge and insight was extremely valuable and we walked away with a much greater understanding of the wildlife in the region. I would highly recommend this tour!

  The best way to see Yellowstone in winter is with a guide and Cara certainly didn’t disappoint. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and created an incredible experience seeing wolves,... read more moose, mountain goats, etc. I would highly recommend hiring Cara as a guide whether summer or winter as you won’t be disappointed with her knowledge and experience. I look forward to coming back again in the summer with Cara as a hiking guide. Thank you Cara for a fantastic day in Yellowstone as it was truly an amazing experience.

  Where do I begin? First, Cara was such a joy to work with. I reached out to Cara to inquire about quite a few of their services and she was... read more very informative and helpful. She sent me up with Nancy for a day of wildlife viewing and another day with a half hike. I also did night photography with Angela. All of these ladies made my trip to Yellowstone the best to date. Nancy was a great partner for the day and a half we spent together. She was very informative, friendly, had a great humor, and was very informative about all of the birds. She also did not take any insult to the fact that birds terrify me and I do not like them 😉 Nancy and I spent most of our day in Lamar Valley for the wildlife viewing -saw deer, elk, bison, bears, lots of birds. The next day we met up for a hike to Beaver Pond. She was very informative about the little hidden treasures and history along the trail. The best part was coming across a young adult black bear. She made me feel at ease and never in danger being in the presence of that bear. She had prepared me before the hike and also again before we got to the wooded area of what to do if we encountered a bear. Given that I am not an avid hiker or the absolute best in shape, she made me feel comfortable, slow down when I needed to, and was just all-around great company. Angela was so fun to learn from. She is very easy-going, hands-on, very open to trying out different locations or settings. I had attempted sky photography before but never really could figure out what I was doing wrong. I came home after my trip and showed everyone my pictures and everyone was floored at my photos of the sky. Thanks to Angela I have a newfound skill. We met up in town in Gardiner, and Angela gave me a rundown of what to expect for the evening. We drove separately but that was never an issue for me. We drove to four separate locations for pictures and they were all at various times, and some had light pollution from Gardiner and Mammoth, so she helped me navigate settings and provided helpful tips for my future night photography attempts. I had so much fun with her, I almost forgot about the freezing temperatures 🙂 I have been to Yellowstone by myself a few times. I really enjoyed having some company this time around, it was also helpful to have someone else drive me around so I could enjoy more of the scenery and the animals. Communication with everyone was great. I never felt like I was forgotten or that I was part of a scripted tour. Whether you are traveling by yourself or with other people I cannot recommend this guide group enough. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to go back so I can work with them again

  I took a trip to Yellowstone in mid-December. I engaged Cara for the Wolf/Wildlife Watching excursion all day. While we saw no wolfs, Cara was well aware of... read more normal siting areas of much of the park's native wildlife, and I was able to view Otters who entertained us for more than a half hour feeding and playing along the shore. We also viewed a red fox, brown eagle, buffalo and elk. My tour also included a short hike around a lake during which Cara identified various vegetation and shared other information about our surroundings. Cara is pleasant, accommodating, and more importantly quite knowledgeable about the park, it's wildlife, and surrounding nature. Well worth the investment and made for a great day.

From 5:45am until about 2:15pm, Jim and I were spellbound by up close and personal (via scopes) sightings of Lamar Valley wolves, badgers, bison, pronghorn, viewings... read more we never could have experienced on our own. Cara's wildlife expertise and uncanny ability to spot these sighting in the first place put her, in our estimation, in a 'wildlife Wonder Woman' category! Her mental and physical energy and people skills (and patience) added even more vitality to the the wildlife drama.

  We were so fortunate to book with Cara for our private wildlife tour! She was a wonderful guide in every way, and the 8 1/2 hour day flew by for... read more our family of 4. Very knowledgeable about all things Yellowstone --wildlife, wildflowers, park history, etc. We would never have been able to see all we did without Cara as our guide. She provided spotting scopes and binoculars for each of us, an amazing brunch spread, and such knowledgeable commentary. It was such a wonderful experience. In Lamar Valley, we saw -- and heard -- a whole pack of wolves howling, watching as another wolf then came in from the distance to join the rest of the pack. Alongside the wolves the valley was filled with bison, pronghorn, elk, and even a grizzly munching on some flowers. It was so amazing to see all of these animals coexisting in their habitat. That day we also saw three more black bears right next to the road, which we were able to observe from the car for quite a while, along with mountain goats, big horn sheep, coyotes, and countless other animals big and small. The day also included a hike to Trout Lake, which is just a breathtaking, perfect short hike to a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains with, when we were there, an explosion of wildflowers in bloom everywhere. While there, we also saw cutthroat trout swimming upstream to spawn -- so much fun! Throughout, Cara was attuned to our interests, and had such knowledgeable answers to all of our questions. She knew every safe pullout and turnaround spot to ensure we were able to get a closer look at the bears and other animals that came close to the road, and somehow managed to find the specks in the distance and ensured that they came alive to us through the scope as wolves or a grizzly or big horn sheep, etc. She really showed us the best of Lamar Valley. It was a highlight of our trip to Yellowstone.

  We LOVED this! Booked the Snow Sampler for our first morning in Gardiner/Yellowstone.

Highly recommend this group and Ben as a guide.

  This was our first time cross-country skiing and Cara made sure we learned how to properly put on our skis, move, stop and enjoy our selves for the duration of... read more our experience. We did a trail around Mammoth Hot Springs inside Yellowstone by the North Entrance. There was a perfect mixture of geysers and fumaroles that you pass by on the trail. Cara has an abundance of knowledge to share with you about each and everyone you pass. The views of the mountains and the park itself are stunning. Cara was more the happy to take pictures and videos of our trip and even offered to record a video of us skiing. At the end of our guided tour with Cara, she treated us to a hot cup of coffee and coco by on of the fumaroles. After, Cara gave us the option to do a few more laps of the trail on our own with the rented equipment and only asked us to have them back before the store closed at 5pm. If you're new or experienced at cross-country skiing rest assured this trail is both easy to learn and challenging enough should you seek some excitement. The views are absolutely astounding and Cara is a great guide and instructor.

  Cara was great!!! My wife and I hired Cara as a cross country skiing guide in Yellowstone but we got so much more than that. Cara knew were... read more to find a trail with snow (which was surprisingly scarce during our trip) that matched my beginner skiing experience level, she gave great instructions, and she had a great sense of humor while helping me up when I fell. She stopped for some wildlife viewing on the way to the ski trail and we were able to see 4 moose and a coyote very clearly through her spotting scope. She even sent us pictures of the outing, including the wildlife, a day later. She was prepared with bear spray and an emergency beacon and she was very good at wearing a mask and social distancing. We even learned about some of the geology of the park and about a wolverine siting near where we skied. We left with great memories and with a new friend. Hire her. You won't regret it.

  We booked In Our Nature Guides for two tours: a 6 mile hike in Yellowstone and the early morning nature viewing. The hike was excellent. Nancy, our guide,... read more is a fountain of information! She also had an amazing eye for spotting tracks and other evidence of animals such as paw prints, markings on trees, and lots and lots of different types of poop. The kids asked questions for 6 hours straight and Nancy fielded them brilliantly! The early morning nature viewing was a very cool experience. We got to see a pack of wolves frolicking in a field, many bison, and mountain goats. Nancy and Cara did a wonderful job managing our party of 8 with the scopes and keeping us moving to keep the kids' attention spans. We would highly recommend this group of guides. In hindsight, we were very happy we didn't try to do it all on our own. It is a much better experience to go with someone who knows where and when to be!
