Guide1.JPG (9255 bytes) Doug Holstein – "I grew up in Livingston, MT and I have always taken an interest in the issues concerning the greater Yellowstone Area, as well as the land itself. For the past four summers I have been fortunate to guide folks in Yellowstone Park to show off its unique wonders. I have especially enjoyed learning about the history, geology & geothermal activity and passing that knowledge on to the visitors of our area. I invite you to sit back and relax and enjoy your tour with our team of knowledgeable & personal guides."

My experience in the area includes working for the Gallatin National Forest during the fires of 1988. I welcome you to park your car and join us on one of the most enjoyable and educational tours found anywhere. I have been guiding for the past 8 years with my main interest in local history and geology. My goal is for each guest to have an enjoyable & memorable experience while visiting our fascinating area."

I take the responsibility to show you an enjoyable & informative tour. I have worked for many major tour operators and I have guided groups by bus, horseback, mountain bike, foot, canoe, airplanes, snowmobile, and snow coach. I have studied many publications about the park with geology being my main topic of interest."
Guide4.JPG (9307 bytes) Dan Hoskins – "I was raised in Southwest Montana and have lived in West Yellowstone for over 30 years. I’ve been involved with touring Yellowstone and it’s surrounding area since 1973, but I’ll always be inclined to stop and take in what is happening at the moment even when I drive through the park alone. There could be no place as unique as Yellowstone for a combination of geology, scenery and its intertwined wildlife varieties. I feel you and your family will receive a much more enriching experience in touring the Park with a knowledgeable guide. Come along and let us show you. Thanks for your consideration!"
