Trail Guides Yellowstone Reviews

"My son and I went on the 3 day, 2 night Black Canyon backpacking trip. I love hiking but wasn't sure how I'd feel about sleeping in the backcountry. Brian is an excellent guide and provided top of the line backpacking gear. We had such a wonderful time! My only regret was not booking a longer trip. Thank you, Brian, for making our trip to Yellowstone amazing!!"

"For us it was the first time in Yellowstone (we are two Italian guys) and we decided to do three days in the Black Canyon. Brian is careful and prepared, friendly and was willing to answer all our questions. Now just waiting to get the photos to complete this wonderful adventure!! Thanks Brian."

"My dad and I had a wonderful experience! We loved hiking through the park and soaking in the hot springs. Brian was a great guide and planned a trip well suited to our capabilities. Loved it! Giving it 5 well earned stars!"

"This was my 3rd guided backpacking trip in three years but my first trip with Trail Guides Yellowstone. That being said, I had certain minimum expectations of Trail Guides Yellowstone. Those expectations were met and exceeded! The website is spectacular and is a great place to start when you begin your planning. But of course real communication with your guide is what really puts your mind at rest before the trip. You want to make sure you and your guide are on "the same page". And that is exactly how Brian runs it. I communicated with him numerous times before the trip regarding everything from flying in to Bozeman, to discussing the part of the park we were going to be in (we did the 4-day Black Canyon of the Yellowstone), to equipment recommendations. Responses by e-mail were prompt and we spoke on the phone several times as well. His focus is really on creating the experience you are looking for. I learn from my guides each time I go out and this time was no different. Brian is knowledgeable about the park, the wildlife, and how to create a safe and memorable experience in the backcountry. I highly recommend Trail Guides Yellowstone if you are heading to Yellowstone!"

"Whether you are planning a day hike or multi day hike - we have no idea why you would not hire Trail Guides Yellowstone to assist in the planning and accompany you. Brian - you will be in our lifelong memories from this trip and we will always be appreciative for your expertise, safety, care and friendship. We can't wait to surprise you and venture out into the wilderness again!"

"Brian, many thanks to you and the team for a fantastic tour. We enjoyed every minute of it and your knowledge of the Park, its history and current happenings. Thanks for getting us off the tarmac and that bit closer to the real Yellowstone National Park. Best wishes, Fergal."

"Just got done with a 2 night 3 day hike on the Yellowstone River Trail. This was the most spectacular experience of my life. A dream come true. Brian and Trail Guides Yellowstone were amazing. As a first timer with many questions, Brian answered every question I could come up with and was instrumental in helping me plan for the trip. Brian is prepared with top of line gear and is a great teacher and guide. His knowledge of Yellowstone and the ecosystem is second to none. The trip was everything I could have dreamed it would be and more. It was exciting, challenging, and most of all fun! If you have ever considered a backcountry backpacking trip be sure to contact Brian and Trail Guides Yellowstone. You can be certain that he will guide you on the trip of a lifetime. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. I will be back for future trips! Thank you Brian!"

"Our family spent a week in Yellowstone with Brian. We love trekking and wanted to be immersed in the wilderness. He was the perfect guide for the experience. The kids really enjoyed the trip because he made them discover the amazing landscapes, hot springs, geysers and wildlife. Brian is really flexible and adapts to the rhythm of a family. The organization is just perfect. I just hope we get to do it again!"

"You won't find anyone with more genuine love, appreciation and respect for the back country and the sincere willingness to share it with others. Great outfit."

"The guided hike to Observation Peak was the exact experience I was looking for as a first-time Yellowstone visitor! Brian is an amazing guide! Knowledgeable, courteous, accommodating and fun, everything you could ask for in a trail guide. He put our safety and comfort first as we trekked through bear country and slowly wound our way around mountains. All of our gear, such as packs, water, food and bear spray (yes, bear spray), was ready to go as soon as we arrived. Throughout the hike, we stopped and rested as needed, as Brian encouraged us to go at a comfortable pace. He pointed out several animals before anyone else spotted them, and he was also familiar with many species of plants, in addition to the overall biology of the park. It is evident that he has a passion for the park as well as an interest in educating visitors. I would definitely recommend Trail Guides Yellowstone!"

"Brian provided a great experience for us. We did a private 3 day backcountry hike with him and it was wonderful. He is very experienced, very friendly and very professional. All around once in a lifetime opportunity."

"Excellent from start to finish! Brian made booking the trip a breeze and even went out of his way to accommodate our off-season dates. Sara, our guide, was knowledgable and friendly and a pleasure to be with the whole time. The gear was top-notch, and the views we got at the top of Electric Peak were unforgettable (we asked for a challenging trip and they delivered!). Trail Guides Yellowstone thought of everything so we didn't have to. I highly recommend them for overnight backpacking in the backcountry."

"We had a great time with Brian in Yellowstone Park. Did a three day trek and everything was perfect: brand new equipment, good company and delicious food. Thanks Brian!"

"Amazing trip, Brian takes all the worry out of your backpacking experience! He has great knowledge and excellent gear. Everything he does and provides for you ensures you have the best experience possible, even when nature does not want to cooperate. He should be your number 1 choice for a guide!"

"A brilliant trip. Brian was a fantastic guide. We were traveling through the US from Australia so had very little of our own gear. Brian made it a very easy process, providing everything we needed. Slough Creek was incredible. Amazing Fauna and Flora. Recommend this trip to anyone who loves the outdoors. If we make it back to Yellowstone, we will definitely book with Brian again. Thanks for an amazing trip!"
