What Other Travelers are Saying:
“Yellowstone Wildlife Profiles is the next level. They provide courses to train guides in other companies, which says a lot. Brad, a co-owner, was our guide. He knew all the spots and all the history. We noticed that legendary wolf spotters and current Wolf Project folks went out of their way to greet Brad. His thesis was on wildlife research and he recently wrote a book on Yellowstone wolves. I’m a biology teacher and my wife has a degree in geology. We both learned tons from Brad. He’s a humble walking encyclopedia. And he’s the nicest and most accommodating guy you could meet! Plus, we saw everything we hoped to see and more.”
– John N
“If you want to see Yellowstone with a true expert then Brad is your guide. I was on a wolf trek of a lifetime this past March and Brad did not disappoint. He was highly skilled with spotting wolves, discussing their behavior, habitat and the work within Yellowstone to follow these marvelous animals. Not just wolves mind you but we saw all the other glorious creatures in Yellowstone: bison, ravens, golden eagles, pronghorn, a mama bear peeking out of her den with cubs, elk, bighorn sheep, coyotes, red fox and mountain goat. We saw a fresh kill and analyzed and old one. Fabulous learning experience. Brad knows every inch of that park and has an eagle eye to match. He provided superb equipment for us to use for viewing. My advice, go with Brad and read his book ‘The Grand Lady of Yellowstone.'”

Immerse yourself in Yellowstone’s world of wolves with some of the most experienced wolf guides and educators in Yellowstone.
This small-group experience includes in-depth presentations with renowned wolf experts, updates about the current status and social dynamics of Yellowstone’s wolves, field-based discussions about wolf biology and behavior, and plenty of time afield in Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley and environs – the best place in the world to study wild wolves.
Winter is the best time to view wolves, when snow provides a white backdrop against which to look and drives prey to lower elevations where they and their predators – the wolves – are most visible to us. You’ll learn first-hand about the world-class research taking place in Yellowstone while searching for wolves from some of the same vantage points as the researchers.

Shauna Baron saw her first wild wolf while volunteering for the Yellowstone Wolf Project in 1996, just one year after the reintroduction, and has been working to protect wolves and wild places ever since. For over 25 years, she has focused her career on outdoor education and wildlife conservation, including work as a biologist for the USFWS Red Wolf Recovery Program in North Carolina, a forest carnivore researcher for the University of Vermont, and as a volunteer at the Colorado based Mission:Wolf program. Having a B.S. in Biology as well as a Master’s Degree in Science Education has led her to not only to being a published author but also, to developing nature therapy programs for disabled veterans, inner-city youth and autistic groups. Recently, she was the editor for the Yellowstone Wolf Charts and Genealogy publications as well as launching Yellowstone Trip Planning, an online venue for visitors wanting to make the most of their time vacationing in Yellowstone. When Shauna isn’t in the field guiding or helping others plan their trips, she can be found with a scope to her eye or a book on her lap.
Carolyn Bulin has been watching wolves in Yellowstone since 2001, when she watched the Druid Peak pack successfully hunt an elk in Lamar Valley – a stunning introduction to watching wild wolves! She holds a bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Recreation Leadership and Management with emphases in ecology and cultural anthropology from Northern Michigan University. Carolyn’s specialties include multi-day seminars on wolf research and management, day hiking and backpacking courses, and single-day private tours catered to the interests of each group. Carolyn’s volunteer experience in Yellowstone includes snow tracking surveys for the Yellowstone Cougar Project, carcass surveys with the grizzly bear research team, and assisting with trapping ravens and fitting them with GPS harnesses for research. As a certified trainer of interpretive guides through the National Association of Interpretation, she also teaches in-depth classes that share the art and skill of naturalist guiding. During her free time, Carolyn enjoys exploring the GYE with her husband and two small children.

“Brad and his crew are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of YNP. Brad has walked many of the animal trails that cannot be seen from the road, so he knows where animals are likely to show up and where they might be headed.”
– Sally & Tom
“I went on a Yellowstone Wildlife Profiles Wolf Watching Tour in March, guided by Brad. The whole trip was fabulous. Brad is a great naturalist who has an almost uncanny ability to spot wildlife. Brad would stop the car and point out eagles, pronghorns, elk, and of course the ubiquitous bison. We even saw fox, moose and a mountain goat among others. Every day, we would go out before dawn to arrive deep in Yellowstone as the sun came up. The beautiful scenery and variety of wildlife was astonishing. While no one can make sure the wolves will actually show themselves, we saw wolves every day. It is an incomparable feeling to hear wolf howls in the clean, clear air of early morning against a backdrop of snow- covered mountains. Excellent binoculars were provided to everyone in the group, and Brad quickly set up sighting scopes that gave us a great close view of the animals. Our trip included interesting and informative lectures with local wildlife experts. I highly recommend Yellowstone Wildlife Profiles and Brad.”

The enormous sky of Montana is legendary. These vast, open areas are breathtaking, and at night they are much more so. We’ll use night photography to explore areas of the park that are rarely visited by people and will get to experience the park in a completely different way.
As we observe the Milky Way move across the sky, we will also learn about different constellations and stars and the uses they were given throughout history to navigate and tell stories of different cultures. People have been looking at the stars for as long as humans have existed; the ancient practice of stargazing connects us to cultures past and present around the world – and what better place to enjoy the peace of the night sky than in Yellowstone!
The National Park Service started monitoring (and protecting) the night skies within the parks in 1999 after realizing that more than 60% of national parks were affected by light pollution. They started by monitoring the nighttime sky’s brightness at numerous parks, including Canyonlands, Arches, Death Valley, and Organ Pipe National Monument, among others. Today, Yellowstone National Park has some of the most pristine skies in the National Parks system.
With the growth of civilization, the bulk of the populous places in the United States (and around the world) have lost their pristine views of the night sky. We may be able to make out a planet or a few conspicuous stars of a disjointed constellation, but the true splendor of the night sky is lost for most people. The dark skies of Yellowstone provide the perfect opportunity to be awed by truly natural lightscapes and to reconnect with the stories of our past while listening to the gentle bubbling of mud pots, the distant howling of wolves, or the bellows and grunts of bison.
So join us for a truly unique nighttime experience in Yellowstone. Your expert guide is experienced in exploring Yellowstone safely after dark, so you can relax, enjoy, and photograph this wonderful landscape.
Search for Yellowstone wolves, bison, elk, sheep, and lesser-known Yellowstone wildlife species with your own expert naturalist guide.

Immerse yourself in the habitat of this mysterious animal with an expert who has been tracking and filming cougars for over a decade.
Cougars (also known as mountain lions) are among the most secretive animals in North America. The best way to learn about them is to search for their tracks in the snow and other sign that they leave behind as they live out their mysterious lives in this wild place called Yellowstone.
Cougar country is rough, steep country. While we can somewhat tailor your experience to your physical ability levels, we are beholden to the territory that cougars call home. Therefore, you should expect to hike or snowshoe (depending on conditions) off-trail over steep terrain with uneven footing.
The reward for your efforts will be a day spent in the beauty of the wild, for cougar country is also some of the most beautiful country to be found. We probably will not spot the elusive predator, but our goal will be to find their tracks and read the stories of their lives in the footprints and other sign left behind. Along the way, you can learn about tracking, cougar behavior and ecology, current research, and the geology and ecology of the landscapes cougars call home.

We believe in a strict code of ethics. The animals of Yellowstone face enormous pressure from the sheer number of visitors coming every day to observe them. The park has set forth certain rules that we will adhere to. Mainly, we must not disturb wildlife and we should maintain a good distance to ensure that the animals can carry on with their day-to-day lives and that we stay safe. The current rules include 100 yards from bears, wolves, and cougars (mountain lions) and at least 25 yards from everything else. We appreciate your understanding and so will the animals.
