I am a sixth generation Montanan who grew up with Yellowstone as my backyard. After traveling around the country playing baseball and working various jobs, all roads have led me back to my hometown of Gardiner, Montana. Exploring Yellowstone has always been my passion and it is an honor to share it with guests from all around the world. Through personal experience in the field and the many wonderful mentors in my life, it will be tough to stump me on anything Yellowstone. I look forward to sharing a truly unique and amazing experience with you in the worlds first national park! Official Guide Certification No restrictions within Yellowstone

Overview of your Gardiner tour

On this tour you will learn the habits and view the rare wildlife of Yellowstone. This will be done by spending time on the Northern Range of Yellowstone which is home to the highest concentration of wildlife in the lower 48! Through the day we will search of bears, wolves, coyotes, and all of the other wildlife that we may see! I am well connected with the other local wildlife watchers and connected via radio to know when and where wildlife is viewable. As a wildlife enthusiast, I spend most days photographing, learning, studying the behavioral patterns of the wildlife and will have plenty of stories to go along through the day! Hikes off of the beaten path may be available, depending on physical health, in order to fully submerge yourself within the environment. This is an 8 hour tour to explore the wide range of diversity of wildlife in Yellowstone. You will be able to view bison, elk, and numerous other species, some at very close range!

We had the most incredible Yellowstone Wildlife Sighting experience with our guide, Nolan. We truly appreciated his professionalism, patience, humor and knowledge as he shared stories of the history and wildlife of the area. We were extremely impressed with his eagle eye vision that allowed us to see so many amazing creatures among the most magnificent scenery. We felt completely comfortable and safe in the midst of all the 'wild' animals. We had an amazing and memorable day!

Nolan was a wonderful host and guide to get us around the park for the day! Loved his neat local stories and park lore. Great energy for me and my kids packing in a lot for the day without it being too long. Definitely got some wildlife views we would not have gotten without him! I'd recommend for sure :)

Nolan did a great job showing us the sights of Yellowstone. He was very flexible with the itinerary. It was so interesting touring with someone who had grown up exploring the park.
