Please plan to arrive the day prior to Day 1 of the itinerary in Bozeman, MT (airport code BZN). Your MT Sobek guides will pick you up on Day 1 at either of our recommended pre-trip hotels.How should I train for my Yellowstone National Park adventure?
The best training is hiking. Work up to hiking similar distances with your daypack loaded with the same weight and items you will be carrying on our day hikes.Is there wildlife in the high desert and canyons?
Yes! Yellowstone's abundant and diverse wildlife are as famous as its geysers. There are nearly 300 species of birds, 16 species of fish, five species of amphibians, six species of reptiles, and 67 species of mammals-including seven native ungulate species and two bear species. Habitat preferences and seasonal cycles of movement determine, in a general sense, where a particular animal may be at a particular time. Early morning and evening hours are when animals tend to be feeding and are more easily seen. But remember that the numbers and variety of animals you see are largely a matter of luck and coincidence. Wild animals, especially females with young, are unpredictable and dangerous. Keep a safe distance from all wildlife. Each year a number of park visitors are injured by wildlife when approaching too closely.When is the best time to go on this trip?
Wildlife can be viewed year-round at Yellowstone, though the seasons will impact what species you see. Spring is the best months to view bears, while the winter months are best for wolves and bighorn sheep (see our winter trip). Elk, moose, bison, and mountain goats can be spotted during the summer months, which is also the park's busiest season. Early Fall, on the other hand, is a great time to see bear, elk, and raptors - while enjoying more mild weather.Who is this trip perfect for?
This adventure is perfect for anyone who enjoys an active vacation focused on hiking in stunning landscapes, geology buffs, photography enthusiasts, and those who love to wildlife! Yellowstone National Park offers a wide range of trails for hikers of all skill levels, making it the perfect destination for adventurers seeking a challenge or those just looking for a peaceful hike.What is the minimum age for this trip?
