August 25, 2016, is an exciting day for outdoor enthusiasts across America and our Yellowstone mountain guides in particular; this day marks the 100th birthday of the National Park Service. On this day one hundred years ago, President Woodrow Wilson signed The Act to Establish a National Park Service. This powerful turned over control and responsibility of America’s most cherished lands, waters, and even monuments over to a single organization to maintain for the public trust.

Today, the National Park Service oversees more than 400 national parks in America, all of which encompass millions upon millions of acres. The hard work put in to keep these areas safe and well maintained is paying off after 100 years of dedication. This August you and your family can reap the benefits of this commitment when you visit Yellowstone National Park and book a Scenic Safaris tour with one of our Yellowstone mountain guides.

Explore Yellowstone’s Higher Elevations

Our Yellowstone mountain guides are the perfect leaders to direct your Grand Teton adventure. Wildlife is abundant during this tour that takes you into the wilds around Jackson Hole, Wyoming. You’ll learn about the area’s history and you’ll have the unique opportunity to view bison, elk, antelope, moose, and bald eagles along the way.

Enjoy a Romantic Evening Interlude

Grab your special someone and take an unrivaled sunset adventure when you book our Grand Teton Sunset Tour; you’ll experience Yellowstone Park at twilight, be treated to a lovely dinner at the Signal Mountain Lodge, and still learn all there is to know about the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park with the help of our mountain guides.

Celebrate with Centennial Events

When you visit the park on August 25th, you’ll have the chance to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime event as Yellowstone erupts with Centennial events. Activities throughout the National Parks will vary for the Centennial Celebration, and once you’ve experienced the fun, you can go online to FindYourPark.com/share to upload your pictures and tag your park.
