I went to Yellowstone in June. I happened to come across the Yellowstone Association before my departure to Yellowstone. I was interested in the 2.5 day birding class offered. I called but the class was full. The person I spoke with was extremely friendly and offered to put me on the wait list. She did inform me that several others... More

We live in washington where we have many active volcanoes. It is intereting to see how this area was made. The Tetons near by in the south are worth exiting the south end of the park. The newest exposed of the oldest rocks are in these 2 parks. Interactive hands on learning and videos.

We had a private tour to watch wildlife in Lamar Valley. Tracy was our guide, and she was wonderful! She shared lots of general knowledge about the features of the park and did an excellent job of tailoring the tour to our interests. Her connections to the wolf project folks also helped tremendously! She was easygoing and friendly, and we... More

Well worth the stop. Anything you buy there will go to fund improvement and education in the park. Get all your cool Yellowstone gear there.

We hired a private tour (lakes and canyon). This tour was a great value. Our guide was EXTREMELY knowledgable, friendly and passionate about what he was doing. Since he drove and knew where everything was, we saw much more in a day than we could have seen on our own. We learned about geology, biology, ecology and park history. I... More

We loved our opprortunity to live and work in Lamar Valley. The wolves released to Rose creek, the six griz at one time viewed through the spotting scope, the huge elk and bison herds, the... More

It really was the trip... More

We signed up for a private tour for my family of 4 with the Yellowstone Association Institute. The tour was an 8 hour “Wildlife Watching on the Northern Range” on August 8, 2011. I decided to book the tour to ensure that we would see some wildlife during our 10 night vacation at Yellowstone/Tetons. We were met by our guide,... More

We took one of the Yellowstone Association Institute's trips called the "Old Faithful Winter Expedition". We've been to Yellowstone Park dozens of times in the warmer seasons but never when the park was closed to private vehicles in the winter. It was an entirely different park. The snow and steam coming from the thermal features was amazing and beautiful. We... More
