Cara McGary, Owner of In Our Nature Guiding Services
On a winter visit to Yellowstone, Cara was smitten by the wonder of this "American Serengeti", and decided that she wanted to spend her life helping others develop and feed their fascinations with the natural world. Cara is a qualified biologist (B.S. Aquatic Biology, M.S. Biology), and has worked extensively in the forests of Redwood National Park, the outback of Western Australia, and the jungles of Papua New Guinea. When not guiding, she can be found building on her cabin, hiking around Yellowstone, or traveling to someplace where there are good tidepools or snorkeling.

Nancy Lewis
Nancy is an educator by trade and a naturalist at heart. She has been fostering passion for the outdoors and wild places since she first became a naturalist leader in junior high school. Before coming to Yellowstone, she was an English teacher and an Arizona Wilderness Steward, doing trail maintenance, eradicating invasive species, and reporting illegal use of wilderness areas. Now, she combines her experience in education with her love of the park to help lifelong learners look closely at nature. She takes her passion for the outdoors south for the winter, working as a naturalist in Arizona. She speaks Chinese conversationally and Spanish fluently.

Mike Rosekrans
Growing up in the Great Lakes Region, Mike has taken a keen interest in the natural world since he was a child. He received his bachelors degree in outdoor recreation, and promptly moved west to pursue his passion of exploring and teaching in the mountains and forests of the Western United States. While in graduate school Mike developed an interest in the ecology and natural history of grizzly bears. He spent a summer with the bears in Denali National Park before permanently moving to Yellowstone. Mike is a passionate guide who hopes to inspire others to make sound decisions in preserving our natural world.

Matt Maar
Matt was raised in Upstate New York with a passion for travel and exploring the world's wild places. After earning a Bachelors in Recreation and Tourism Management he hit the road for eight years and found himself living in far-flung locales while working as a teacher to support his love of being on the road. Whether it was being chased by monkeys down a beach in Malaysia or spending a night atop the Great Wall of China, Matt was always looking for the next adventure. Eventually he chose to settle down in Bozeman, Montana where the access to nature and wild exploration is unparalleled in the lower 48.

Matt Hergert
Matt grew up on the coast of Northern California, exploring the rolling hills of Sonoma County and magnificent Redwood forests, which sparked his passion for the outdoors. After completing an Outward Bound Instructors Course in sea kayaking and mountaineering in Washington, he moved to Grand Canyon National Park where he was the lead guide for a bicycle tour company for three seasons. He has also guided kayak trips on Lake Yellowstone, and in Milford Sound in New Zealand, and has guided backpacking trips in the Southwest and in Yellowstone. He is an avid landscape and wildlife photographer, and enjoys presenting a unique view of the planet we call home. Guiding isn’t just a job for Matt, it is a career and what he lives for.

1/09/2021Another great day spent with Cara in Yellowstone! It is my second time seeing the park with her and her tours are worth every penny. We saw many adult wolves... read more and their pups, bears, eagles, big horn sheep, the list goes on and on. I love being able to share the pictures/videos she takes in her scopes with my family back home. Great conversation and always willing to answer our questions on the animals. Enjoyed the hike to trout lake too!

What an AMAZING day we had out in the Serengeti of North America! Our guide, Cara, was absolutely super! Her passion and knowledge of the area and the... read more wildlife was excellent! We had such a fun time going from one location where wildlife was spotted and on to the next. It was really exciting and we saw so many animals...the wolves were astounding to watch...they really “cooperated” for our wildlife viewing pleasure, it was a real highlight! I would highly recommend Cara as a guide. You will not be disappointed...she was such an interesting, fun and professional guide - we cannot wait to come back again!

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.

In Our... read more Nature Guiding Services is top notch and extremely knowledgeable about nature, the animals, and the history of Yellowstone. It was so awesome that I went on excursions with them in July and October 2020, and will do it again the next time I am in the area. I learned so much knowledge about the different animals, conservation efforts, the wolves, birds, the Bison, and the views are too die for. I am a Registered Nurse, and hated Biology when I was in school but Cara made me wish I was back in school and making straight A’s in Biology!!! This is a must when visiting Yellowstone especially if you only are here a short time.
