  A guided tour is the way to go when visiting Yellowstone. You can choose from many different tours depending on what you want to see or do! 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.

  June 10, 2021 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. …

Having her as our guide made all the difference in our experience of Yellowstone. We had different levels of knowledge about the park, skills with the activities, etc., and she seamlessly adjusted herself to each person. She took us to the right spots, quickly set up and took down scopes, answered our many questions with knowledge and good humor, provided hot drinks and delicious snacks, helped us with rental equipment, was a kind and patient teacher, etc. Honestly, we cannot say enough good about Cara and highly recommend using her as a guide.

  Our day started at five in the morning. By six we were watching wolves and coyotes through a magnificent telescope. It never ended. Bears, wolves, coyotes, bison, and more. Then... read more we had a magnificent brunch. More of the same in the afternoon. I do not know how Cara does it but she has an uncanny knack for sighting creatures when all that I can see is grass. I would love to do it again.

  Our adult family of four spent a marvelous Christmas Eve day with Cara touring Yellowstone on a wildlife viewing tour. She picked us up first thing in the morning with... read more hot chocolate, coffee and breakfast goodies. From there we entered the park and encountered bison, coyote's, elk, mountain goats, long horn sheep and a badger! It was a beautiful snowy day as Cara drove up through the park stopping to view wildlife and set up four scopes for us to view animals if they were at a distance. We were all very impressed with her knowledge and capability. She provided a nourishing lunch for both meat eaters and vegetarians in Cooke City (warmth! an indoor toilet!) It was a wonderful experience for all of us and I highly recommend her as both guide and educator. Don't hesitate to book this dedicated guide!

  To say that our time with Cara exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. My new husband and I spent our honeymoon in Montana. We wanted to spend a few... read more days in the park skiing and snowshoeing but did not want to do so without a guide. My husband spoke to Cara and ended up booking a wildlife watching trip the first day (and boy were we glad that we did!) and a cross country skiing trip the following day. The stars must have been aligned, because we managed to see wolves, bison, elk, big horned sheep, moose, coyotes, and even a mountain lion! The following day, we had the perfect cross country skiing trip up to see the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone as well as some beautiful waterfalls.

Cara was unbelievably knowledgable about the park, wildlife and so much more. She was friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing time. We would recommend her without an hesitation and will certainly be exploring with her again when we make our return visit to Yellowstone!

  Thank you Cara for making this day with you the highlight of our trip. Despite the rain (and a little snow!) - we were amazed at your ability to... read more spot wildlife - some just a speck in the distance - amazing! Your scopes and equipment allowed us to see up close grizzlies, elk, bison...for Boston folks we were just in awe of you! I seriously cannot more highly recommend this full day wildlife tour in Yellowstone.

I found Cara’s wildlife viewing company online and read the past reviews. This was a complete gamble, but the reviews I read and Cara’s website made me feel a whole lot better about investing the time and money. We woke early to get a jump on the wildlife and Cara picked us up at our lodge. She came armed and ready with morning snacks, coffee, hot cocoa, and a big smile. We drove to Lamar Valley and spent much of the time talking about the park, the wildlife, Cara’s experience, and what we could expect to see. First sighting was a mother mule deer and her fawn; second sighting was a large male grizzly bear; third sighting was lots and lots of bison and wouldn’t you know two black wolves scoping out their potential prey! We stayed at this location for close to 45 minutes watching and waiting for the action. It was fabulous and heart-racing to see the wolves. Cara’s spotting scopes made a world of difference, including a couple of pair of good quality binoculars.

We stopped for lunch (Cara provided) and later went on a nice hike before wrapping up the day.

This was an opportunity of a lifetime and Cara made it so worthwhile. I realize that luck and patience play a huge role when looking for certain wildlife and Cara’s experience and expertise contributed greatly to our success.

Definitely book your next wildlife viewing trip with Cara and her team. My daughter and I loved it and you should too! More

  We spent a day with Cara on a guided hike of the Garnet Loop Trail in Yellowstone and she made it the most comfortable experience for us. She was available... read more for communication before, during and after the hike to answer any questions we had for her. She also took my pace into consideration and ensured we took it easy, had ample water breaks, food breaks, coordinated the trail so that we had less sun exposure which helped me to complete the entire loop along with the visit to the suspension bridge over the Yellowstone River.
Her suggestions to visit the Beartooth pass and food options along the way just made the trip so much more memorable for us. We will be calling Cara again when we are back in Yellowstone.

  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!
