Yellowstone Hiking Guides is a small family owned and operated tour company. We have been providing day tours and multi-day tours in Yellowstone National Park for over 10 years, but we have been exploring Yellowstone for way longer. From the fires of 1988 to the floods of 2022, we have witnessed spectacular Yellowstone events. YHG loves sharing local Yellowstone knowledge with visitors from around the globe. Join our team for a season filled with rare wildlife sighting, erupting geysers, spectacular waterfalls, and a lot of fun.
