We spent two full days with Cara looking for wildlife. As all the other reviews have stated, she provides an outstanding experience. She comes with high-powered scopes that... read more enable one to see animals that are almost invisible to the naked eye and difficult to spot with normal binoculars. I will not repeat all of the praise that others have documented in these reviews, but rather I will emphasize that Cara will give an experience that cannot be duplicated on your own. She knows where to go to see the animals, she is able to locate them when they are invisible to those without her knowledge, and you will see animals that you would not see on your own. In addition, she is a delight to work with. There is a reason that all of her reviews are outstanding-she is that good. You will be happy if you choose to spend a day or two, or even more, with her.

  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.

Overall, our experience with Cara was wonderful. When we met she had amazing hot chocolate, tea, and coffee for us. From there we communicated via radio (during COVID) as we drove to the various sights. She had 3 fantastic spotting scopes which allowed us to see plenty of wildlife. But, the best thing was being able to tell that she truly cared about the animals. Whenever we saw one we did not know who was more excited (Cara or us). Lastly, she brings her own camera (see attached photos) and will take both videos and photos of animals for you.

Was our best guide in Yellowstone and highly recommend.
