Everything we'd hoped for!
Because we had people visiting from out of state, my husband and I wanted to show them Yellowstone in winter in an up close and personal way. I'd never booked a 'guide' before, but the reviews for Cara and "In Our Nature" were uniformly excellent, and I contacted her. I am so glad I did. We drove to Gardiner the night before our trip -- Cara offered several suggestions for places to stay -- and we found excellent sparkling clean lodging a quick walk across the bridge from the main part of town. The next morning early -- when it was still dark -- Cara picked the four of us up and we headed to Mammoth and then across the northern route to Cooke City. The sunrise over the mountains was fantastic. The weather then worsened, but not so much that we couldn't see plenty of wildlife. One of our friends is a great fan of wolves, and she was thrilled to be able to see them in the wild through Cara's spotting scope. We all enjoyed that -- and the bison and moose and coyote and the eagles and, for our birding enthusiast, the American dipper. Cara is very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife there. She made the day fun and memorable and always gave us the sense that there was no place she would rather be. We have friends coming from England in a few months and I've already told them that they need to hurry up and make a decision about when they are coming so we can get on Cara's schedule. It will definitely be a highlight of their trip. Thank you, Cara, for a wonderful day!
