Kate Jewett is a MAGNIFICENT guide! I've been coming to Silver Gate for decades with friends and family. I always stay with Silver Gate Lodging, usually in a great cabin.... read more This year I was having leg trouble so I decided to hire a Guide to take me and my two grandsons, 11 and 14, out for a day of wildlife watching.. I knew that she could take them out into some areas that would be too hard for me to try. Let me just say, SHE WAS PHENOMENAL! She brought spotting scopes, beverages and a big lunch for all of us, and was in constant contact with other guides out that day, so we knew where the animals were. We saw virtually all species in the area that day! Again, PHENOMENAL! Her personality makes her hard not to love; warm, funny, flexible, and very well educated in her sciences and her guiding. My grandsons took to her immediately, asked a million questions and had a bang-up day, as did I. SO FUN! Give yourself an amazing Yellowstone experience by going out in the Park with Kate. You will be glad you did!

Had a great sunrise tour with Kate, checked every box for animals we wanted to see. Gave us a few starting points for some successful self-guided efforts the next few... read more days as well.

Hunter Graham is an awesome knowledgeable and experienced guide. Easy to talk to. We learned a lot and saw fox, moose elk big horn sheep coyote and of course bison.... read more We earnestly tried to capture a view of the recently sighted Mountain lion and had a great adventure chasing the wolves. Such a nice guide. Totally recommend him and silver gate tours

We decided at the last minute to book a tour with Silver Gate Guides. Our guide was Kate. She had an early morning and a late afternoon. We took the... read more 4 hours morning tour. She told us the guides all talk to each other so they know where animals are. She brought a scope for each of us, snacks and drinks, even extra gloves or hats if we needed that. Her score had an adapter for her phone so she could take pictures and videos which were sent to us. Kate was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, geography, history of the area. She was amazing. We saw grizzly, black bear, wolves, wolves, coyotes, eagle, moose, fox, deer and bison of course. We would’ve never seen all that without her guidance! Thanks for the recommendation from Tom at Silver gate cabins! Thank you Kate!!! We had such a great experience. Patty and Larry, Tom from Ohio!

Hunter was very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. His experience is immediately evident and he is eager to share the joy the comes from exploring this beautiful area.

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

We loved our tour with Kate and Silver Gate Guides and would absolutely recommend booking a tour through them. Kate was incredibly knowledgable and well-connected within the wolf spotting community.... read more We were able to see two wolves during our morning session, which was our goal! There was no way we could've found or seen the wolves on our own. We will be booking another tour with them when we're back in the Lamar Valley area!

Hunter provided excellent guide services in NE Yellowstone in the Lamar Valley. We toured with Hunter just days before the horrendous Yellowstone flood. We took off at Silver Gate Lodging... read more where we were staying in a cabin. With Hunter & his scopes we were able to see 99% of the animals we had hoped to see - all was absolutely amazing! His added services of coffee, breakfast, snacks & lunch was also well planned and he catered to our dietary and taste preferences. We were 110% satisfied & hope to have another tour with Hunter once he can be up and running again.

We had an awesome experience with Hunter seeing the wildlife in Yellowstone!! We’ve been to Yellowstone before but we saw so much more wildlife on our tour than we ever... read more could have on our own. In just one morning we saw wolves, multiple bears, and lots of other wildlife. Hunter knows a lot of the history about the park and the animals and my girls really enjoyed learning from him. We would definitely use Hunter again for a tour and can’t wait to come back!

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

This company is operated by awesome people. Know you’re in good hands should you choose to use them.

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.

Kate was great!!!! Kate was our guide for our tour into the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone. She was knowledgable and friendly and made us feel comfortable... read more from the start. We saw lots of wildlife and toured some beautiful scenery. The vehicle used was very comfortable and all snacks and food was provided-and it was all good. The day was perfect and we have lots of wonderful memories.

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

I'm from Wyoming and am familiar with & love Lamar valley, but when family visited off & on this summer we decided to try a guided wildlife tour with Silver... read more Gate Guides. We have now taken 3 different tours w/ each of the guides: Hunter, Kate & Reed and every tour was unique and outstanding. It's tough as guides can't control the creatures that show up (what fun would that be, anyway?)... or the weather, but watching the mist roll through the valley, a mama grizzly & her two cubs meandering up a hill, a black wolf trotting casually into the sagebrush, a coyote and badger hunting together... just simply listening to the bison grunt and their calves hop & skip around, is priceless. Spending time with these guides made our 2023 Yellowstone experiences extra special.

Kate was a great guide. We were seeing animals from the first minutes of the door and she took good care of the whole trip.

We gave a lot of thought as to whether to spend time with a wildlife guide and which guide service to use in Lamar Valley. We sure made the... read more right decision with Silver Gate Guides and Kate! Her extensive knowledge of the animals and history of the area made our time even more special. A grizzly bear, mountain goat, coyote, beautiful herds of Pronghorns, and a wolf pack made this tour unbelievable! You will not regret using Silver Gate Guides!

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!

We had a great sunset tour with Kate from Silver Gate Guides. Kate’s knowledge of the area and the wildlife, coupled with her engaging personality made this an amazing experience!... read more We saw so much wildlife thanks to Kate’s spotting skills – 2 wolves (thrilled!), one grizzly bear, 4 black bears, foxes, sandhill cranes with chicks, bison, pronghorn, and a group of bighorn sheep ewes with their lambs playing together. Vehicle was comfortable, equipment was top-notch, and provided snacks/sandwiches were tasty. Highly recommend Kate and Silver Gate Guides!

Our morning tour was way more than our expectations. Hunter put us on a recent bison kill and we got to briefly view a grizzly bear approach the carcass, as... read more well as witness several wolves hang out around the perimeter of the grizzly and carcass. 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. Hunter’s knowledge and explanations of all the wildlife behavior was amazing. I would highly recommend Hunter and Silver Gate Guides to anyone that is thinking of booking such a tour. Top Notch! (Mike & Pat)

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.

Great scenery and wildlife. We we're particularly interested in wolves and it didn't disappoint. Kate was a great guide

After 3 years of postponing our trip to Yellowstone & the Lamar Valley, we finally made it and Kate from Silver Gate Guides made sure it was worth the wait!... read more We saw everything we hoped to see, including wolves, and she was lovely. To spend 5/6 hours with a guide it isn't just about what you see, but the company, and she was kind, patient and funny. Our family of 4, including 2 young boys, said that the tour with Kate was the highlight of our trip to Yellowstone & the Tetons, even after waiting up at 4:30am for a 5am tour. Highly recommend! Hope to do not again someday!

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.
