My husband and I had an amazing guided hike with Cara. We're from the east coast, at a very low elevation, but wanted to feel comfortable hiking in a place away from crowds during our trip to the Yellowstone area. Cara helped us accomplish that goal, and also provided a lot of insights into the flora and and fauna. We loved seeing evidence of moose and deer, and were tickled when we were able to observe pika. From the time of booking our experience to the time our tour concluded, our experience with In Our Nature Guiding Services was top notch. Communication was efficient and personable. Cara is so very knowledgeable and friendly. We'll be sure to book another experience with Cara when we return to the Yellowstone area.

A beautiful hike with Cara My husband and I used Cara's guide services for a private full-day hike in the Yellowstone area. We really wanted to go on a hike with someone more experienced than us, especially as this was our first time hiking in bear country. Cara certainly delivered. Once we made our initial inquiry, Cara reached out to learn more about our desires so she could tailor our experience. She picked us up from our lodging in Cooke City, and our initial plans were to experience a hike off the Beartooth Highway so we could enjoy hiking near an alpine lake and hopefully see pika. However, we pivoted our plans as my husband was having problems with the high altitude (~9,000 feet.) Cara quickly pivoted, and we enjoyed a different hike along a different lake at a lower altitude. Not only was Cara personable, she also put us at ease about hiking in bear country. We all had bear spray, and her safety talk about what we should do if we encounter a bear was thorough and reassuring. We did not encounter any bear (thankfully) but did see signs of moose. I enjoyed hearing all kinds of birds, and the antics of the squirrels. A highlight of our hike was watching pika.I know that we'll be repeat customers of In Our Nature Guiding Services.

Hannah is amazing! We spent two days with her in Yellowstone and were able to see and learn so much about bears, wolves, birds, coyotes, elk, bison, pikas and pronghorns! She ensured that everyone in our group (ages 12 to 83) had a great time. She was careful to stop for birds for our bird watcher who was able to check many species off her list. Hannah taught us to recognize different bird calls and had our teenager looking out for and identifying different bird species the rest of our trip! And our 12-year old couldn't get enough of her stories about wolf conservation, wolves and "wolf watchers." The two roadside wolf sitings made her trip! So thankful that we found her and for all the amazing work she is doing out there!

Expert Guide Delivers Exceptional Experience We had an exceptional day of wildlife watching in and around Yellowstone with our guide, Hannah. After spending five days exploring Yellowstone on our own, we had already covered a lot of ground and seen a lot of wildlife. Hannah asked what we wanted to see (bears and wolves) and then she delivered! It was a joy to spend the day with someone with such a deep love and respect for Yellowstone and all of its animals. We hope to have the chance to go on another adventure with Hannah again soon (minus the terrible jokes🤣).

Experience of a lifetime: Finding the elusive Yellowstone wolves. Hannah was an exceptional guide with extensive knowledge in all aspects of wildlife in Yellowstone and Lamar Valley; as well as her personal experiences working in this area. Hannah took great care of us and made sure that the three of us had the opportunity to create unforgettable memories. I was very impressed with Hannah’s skills in finding obscure wildlife and teaching us about each beautiful creature. I learned so much from her during the time we spent in Lamar Valley. We had so much fun with this trip, laughing and learning all day. One extra piece of fun information is that we soon realized that Hannah is from our home state, her mother is from my old neighborhood in the Columbus, Ohio area, and Hannah graduated from Ohio State University, as did I. It was fun to reminisce about home. This tour was the highlight of our vacation and Hannah will always be part of our Yellowstone memories. I/We highly recommend “In Our Nature Guiding Services” and Hannah as your guide.

Just back from 3 full days in Yellowstone with Cara. This was my first trip with In Our Nature Guiding Services and definitely won't be my last. From the 6am pick up to drop-off several hours later Cara was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Luckily the wildlife played ball and Cara got in the right places for safe and respectful sightings. Cara was happy to accommodate my requests for pika and was even able to secure a roadside marmot! Transport was in a comfortable vehicle and good quality spotting scopes are provided. Lovely banana bread was provided for breakfast and lunch was also available. Cara was great company over the 3 days. Thank you!

We actually booked 2 adventures with In our Nature! Elizabeth rocked with the best Yellowstone geyser, hot spring, history, wildlife watching tour! Her knowledge base and experiences she shared with us could not compare with any app that other people used. Way above what we expected for this tour and very in depth. Cara took us on the Breakfast with bears tour. While we were hoping to see one grizzly, we ended up with many more in the scope! As a bonus, we got to learn more about the ranchers and the coexistence with the bears. Not being from this state, it gave us such a better understanding and appreciation for this relationship. We went on a great hike, with spectacular views!! Cara’s knowledge, love of nature, and willingness to share are great gifts! We appreciate you and your team! From the moment we met, it was immediately comfortable, with them being so open to share such life experiences and we greatly appreciated their awareness of the group’s questions, and hiking abilities. They really know their audience! Would highly recommend (and already have) Had a blast!!!

Hello Nancy, Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are pleased that you enjoyed our Geysers and Hot Springs tour with Elizabeth. She is awesome! The Breakfast with Bears tour is very close to our hearts and we are thrilled that you enjoyed not only viewing bears but learning about the coexisting of the local ranchers with their wild bear neighbors. This is what it takes to spread information and foster understanding for living with wildlife. Thank you so much for recommending us and spreading our message. It truly was a pleasure meeting you! Best wishes, Cara McGary, Owner

Cara and Ken were amazing guides in Yellowstone Park! They were so very experienced and so knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoy having a guide to learn and understand more about what we are visiting and they hit the spot fantastically! Cara took us through the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and also took us on a Wilderness viewing early one morning. We saw a lot of wildlife and learned so much! Ken took us around and taught us about geysers, hot springs, and mud spots. He took us right to the places we would want to see. He is VERY knowledgeable as he has been a guide for 30 years. I would highly recommend IN OUR NATURE GUIDING SERVICES to anyone visiting Yellowstone!

A Must-Do Activity for Anyone Visiting Yellowstone My husband and I had an amazing time with our guide, Cara, for this fun honeymoon excursion! We got to see a TON of wildlife, including wolves, osprey, mountain goats, and more! Cara was super fun to spend the day with and we enjoyed all of the information she provided about Yellowstone and its wildlife. She packed us a great lunch and kept us happy with plenty of snacks and coffee for the ride. We will 100% do this tour when we visit again!

Hannah was our guide and she did an amazing job getting us great looks of a wolf in the Wapiti Pack. She was also a wealth of information from her experiences working on the Cougar, Wolf and Bird projects in the park. Snacks were good. Overall a fun day in the park

Our guide, Hannah, offered an unforgettable day in Yellowstone to us and our 2 teens. Thanks to her knowlege of the park wolves community, we could observe a horde of wolves through scopes. We saw a grizzly bear interacting with a cheeky coyote and so much more. Hannah gave us great insights on the wildlife and the national park. She is truly passionate about nature and outdoor activities. She took us to places we wouldn't have gone to by ourselves. We also really appreciated the fact that she adapted the tour to our level of fitness and the refreshments to my allergy. I'm so happy to have selected In Our Nature for this once in lifetime family adventure.

What an incredible experience! We traveled so far and did so much on our trip but by far this was our absolute favorite and so worth every dime for a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Cara, was so intelligent and passionate about what she was doing and the animals/ecosystem. I can't recommend this enough!

Cara was amazing. We had our eleven years old granddaughter with us and she knew totally how to keep her attention. We used her for three different days in Yellowstone and I don’t know how anyone could make it any better.

Wow, thank you so much for these kind words John! I am so grateful for the opportunity to share such a variety of Yellowstone's wonders with you all. I totally enjoyed your granddaughter's questions and curiosity. She's gonna go far! Thanks again for joining me and I hope I get to see you all again when you're ready to come back.
