Hike Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley with a wildlife guide, spot bison and bears, and enjoy a riverside picnic lunch at 6,500 feet.

“Bob was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, shared history and tailored the hike to the 5 people in our group. We had a wonderful experience…honestly, so much better than if we had done a similar hike on our own. He pointed out plants, gave history, geology, animal information. We also had an opportunity to see a beautiful grizzly bear along the river and were very glad we were with an experienced guide. Also, lunch was delicious. It was the highlight of our week in Yellowstone.”

Track Arctic foxes, reindeer, and ptarmigans on a small-group photography hike from Longyearbyen with local guides and warm drinks.

“Our guide moved to the area as a high schooler (from northern Norway), and his father is a wildlife photographer and birder, so Ivar knew wildlife and living here. What I appreciated most as the only person over 40 (as in almost 70!), was Ivar’s efforts to keep me in involved in the group (of just 6) lending a subtle hand when needed (I think it scared us both when a gust of Spitzenberg’s famous winds caught me off guard and nearly blew me off my feet!), and taking my phone to grab a shot he saw I wanted but didn’t want to make the group wait for me to…”
