Kate was our guide and she was fantastic. She told us about the park and animals we hoped to see. Unfortunately the animals did not cooperate, but we did... read more manage to catch up with Kate the next morning and she happily showed us wolves and also is sending us photos. Food supplied was also tasty and plenty of snacks available. Highly recommend

We had a very good guide. Was there on time, very informative, a possitive person. Only thing for improvment: breakfast. For us, it was not breakfast more like a snack.

Was visiting Lamar Valley with my fiancée and we wanted to get a more in depth view of the wildlife in the park. Hired Silver Gate Guides and we had... read more an amazing time with Kate! Very knowledgeable about the animals in the park and accommodated us throughout the tour. Will definitely be sending friends and family here to get a better wildlife experience from the park!

This trip was amazing! We saw 16 wolves and watched them for hours! Hunter and Reed were the perfect guides!

Hunter is a nice guide. He really took care to show us the Lamar valley wildlife and knows how to find wolves, bears, and mountain goats. We enjoyed his tour... read more very much.

We had the greatest experience on our tour! The wildlife was incredible and our tour guide Kate was even better! She had so much knowledge about the park and it... read more was easy to tell how much she loved her job. I will recommend Silver Gate Guides to everyone, especially our guide Kate! If you are making a trip to Yellowstone definitely check them out.

Hunter was an absolutely amazing guide! His great demeanor and wealth of knowledge made us feel right at home during our first trip to Yellowstone! I went to... read more see wolves exclusively and he delivered! We saw wolves, grizzlies, coyotes, badgers, pronghorn and more. He is very patient, personable, and knowledgeable. I don't think there is a better guide in Yellowstone. Thank you Hunter, and we will look you up when we return. Sincerely, Marv

We had the most fantastic experience with Guide Kate from Silver Gate Wildlife tours this past Friday. She was amazing, knowledgable, patient, well-equipped, and personable. She worked... read more very hard to ensure we got to see as many of the requested animals as possible. We watched grizzly bears, pronghorns, a juvenile eagle, and incredibly, 8 wolves agitating a bison herd and playing with each other--it was amazing! We learned alot of interesting facts about the various animals. In addition to having scopes and snacks, she also provided photos and video taken thru the scope so we can enjoy the experience time and time again. It was definitely the highlight of our 10 day trip out West. Thank you Kate, for the most unforgetable experience!!! Thanks! Penny and Brian Rardin

We set out at 5:30 a.m. for the full-day tour with Reed. We had a fully wonderful and spectacular day, and our guide Reed was extraordinarily knowledgeable, experienced, interesting and... read more fun. Coffee provided in the morning, then snacks, lunch and drinks as needed. Vehicle was first class, equipment (binoculars and spotting scopes) also top-notch. Everything about the day was more or less perfect, I would go again in a minute and would recommend Silvergate to anybody looking for a wildlife tour. Of course, my enthusiasm might be a little influenced by the fact that we spent nearly two hours observing a family/pack of wolves.

Hunter was an exceptional guide. In September, Hunter took my family and I throughout Silver Gate and into the back country for a day of searching for wildlife and hiking.... read more He was extremely personable and made our experience exactly what we wanted despite not being able to adventure into the Lamar Valley due to road closures. On our guide we were lucky enough to see moose, deer, plus an amazing view of the mountains. I definitely recommend asking for Hunter as your tour guide and would love to do this again in the future.

We had a great day touring Lamar Valley with Kate! She shared lots of information, quickly spotted wildlife and was a lot of fun! She catered the trip to... read more what we wanted to see. We would highly recommend a tour with her and Silver Gate Guides!

If only we could give more stars. Cooper was THE BEST! He is super knowledgeable, prepared in every way with snacks, warmth for us when cold, getting scopes for... read more viewing set up so we could see, easy going, funny, safe driver, vehicle comfort and cleanliness. Everything he did was top notch. We would have never been able to spot the wolves, a grizzly charging a herd of bison, a baby golden eagle chick in its nest…and the list goes on…on our own. What an incredible experience for our family. Highlight of our trip and highly recommend!

My wife and I booked our recent trip with Hunter who was highly recommend by our neighbors. We met Hunter at the general store at 5:45 am. He had... read more coffee and plenty of assorted breakfast items to choose from.On our tour we viewed wolves, pronghorns, bison and a mtn goat. Hunter knows the area very well. And others guides radioed him frequently to find out where he was and what he was seeing. I cannot say enough good things about Hunter and his knowledge of the Lamar valley. For the best trip possible and to see the most wildlife . I would highly recommend Hunter !

As my husband and I move into fall, we look back on this past summer, and there was one stand out experience that we have to share here. Hunter, our... read more guide, was so fabulous, and though he was upfront about no guarantees with seeing wildlife on our day with him, we not only met my husband’s goal of seeing wolves in the wild and Yellowstone, but we also saw a grizzly bear, her two cubs, and a moose. We saw all of them have an interaction that was a big surprise and it wowed us. I’m sharing photos, but it’s inadequate to describe the scene we witnessed… It’s like they were paid actors! In addition to the wildlife, our time spent with Hunter was wonderful. He shared so many stories about growing up as a local, to his varied experiences, as an adult, which let him back to Silver Gate. Thank you, Hunter, for a fabulous time!

Kate was an excellent guide and we greatly appreciated her depth of knowledge and expertise. She was gracious and engaging with our children and we all enjoyed our tour. Thank... read more you!

Kate was an outstanding guide! We had a "3 Dog Day" - viewing a coyote, several wolves (including two chasing a moose), and a fox. We also saw Bighorn Mountain... read more sheep, Mountain goats, a Bald Eagle, an elk, and Grizzly bear. Kate was knowledgeable and fun!

Outstanding! Hunter was the best and incredibly knowledgeable. Wolf pup, eagle, pronghorn antelope, elk, bison. Fantastic morning. Will definitely do again!

Kate was an amazing guide! We cannot recommend her and Silver Gate Guides highly enough! As this was our first time visiting Yellowstone NP, my husband and I were very... read more excited about seeing all of the wildlife living in the park but were unsure about how to do so. Silver Gate Guides was the perfect answer. Located just outside the Northeast entrance, we were immediately in the Lamar Valley and thus were able to spend almost all of our time in the land of wildlife without having to travel the entire park. Kate was an essential asset to the adventure - she was incredibly knowledgeable about the park itself as well as the animals we were trying to view. Her ability to locate the wildlife in the grand landscapes was truly impressive. She was also wonderfully kind - when we ran into her and a new group a few days later she graciously assisted us with using our rented equipment so we could view the Yellowstone wolves - an item high up on my husband’s bucket list. Definitely enlist Kate’s and Silver Gate Guides help in your next visit to Yellowstone - you will not regret it.

My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a wildlife tour of Yellowstone with Hunter in May 2022. It was an exceptional tour and the highlight of our entire... read more trip. Everything about the experience was first-class - from the preliminary e-mails reminding us to bring gloves and hats for cold morning temperatures, to the dining recommendations in Silver Gate, and of course the tour itself was absolutely outstanding. Hunter was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife we observed and answered all of our questions about the park. His expertise (and keen eyesight) put us in position to see wolves, bears, coyote pups, and countless other animals that we never would have observed without him. Simply a great experience from beginning to end.

We had a wonderful morning! The wildlife was amazing…. Especially the Wolves!! Thank you Hunter!

Our morning tour was way more than our expectations.

Our first time ever to see wolves within the park. Even got to hear the wolves howl. We eventually moved on and got to view several pronghorns, coyote, bison and sheep on a mountain side.
