Trips will typically have a maximum of five to six clients, depending on the location and campsite capacity. 

However, we can accommodate larger groups, please reach out with requests.

Industry standard for gratuity for your guide is 15-20% of listed trip price. 

All guides have Venmo if you don't want to carry cash with you.

Starting out, expect about a soccer ball sized amount of both group gear, this could be food or equipment.  It will weigh between 5 and 10 pounds.

Yep! We sure do.  Before we hit the trail, your guide will explain how to safely use it.

You can read our blog post about how to safely hike in bear country for more information.

Of course!

We just ask that you bring your gear to the pre-trip meeting, so we can make sure it is fit for Yellowstone's weather and conditions.

Nomadic by Nature provides breakfast, lunch and dinner.  We pride ourselves on being great backcountry cooks, and can accommodate dietary restrictions.

A typical dinner could be anything from pesto pasta to curry, using fresh and dehydrated vegetables.  

​

Absolutely!

While it's never a guarantee, we have a lot of opportunities to see bears and other wildlife in the backcountry.

Seeing wildlife in their natural habitat away from the roads and crowds is unbeatable experience.

Guides carry binoculars to help enhance the wildlife viewing experience.

A lot of this is up to you!  The lower your base weight (which includes tent, sleeping bag, clothes, personal gear), the lower your overall weight.

Typically, a backpack will weigh between 30-35 pounds starting out, and will lighten up as we go.

Not at all!

However, we do offer more strenuous trips that are recommended for a higher level of fitness and experience. Check out the difficulty rating for each trip and reach out if you have specific questions.
