Learn from Locals!

Yellowstone Hiking Guides School is a six-day training program for first year guides. No experience necessary; passion for the outdoors extremely necessary. YHGS does not guarantee employment, but does guarantee a WFA certification (extra fee), Leave No Trace certification, Food Handlers certification, and Yellowstone National Park Guide Training.

During this intensive training you’ll learn about primitive travel, First Aid in remote settings, outdoor safety skills, wilderness navigation, local flora and fauna, local history, trip prep, food prep, sanitation, and customer service.

YHGS is pass/fail. Participants are examined on outdoor knowledge, naturalism, communication and teamwork.

The Driftwaters RV Resort offers tent camping and a bathhouse next to the training facility in Cameron, MT.

Guides who complete the course have preferential employment opportunities. Guides who earn a position on the team will receive paid hands-on training with an experienced guide on the trail/on the road/on the water in Yellowstone before leading tours.
