Description
Many experienced outdoorsmen dream of wetting a line in search of migrating Brown Trout and snappy Brook Trout, with bugling elk sounding in the distance. Or if they don’t they should be. The Gardner River in Yellowstone National Park is the place to make this dream become reality. The Gardner River really comes to life in the fall season, which is when we focus this trip. The colors of fall are painted across the landscape, elk and bison are gathering their herds, and the crisp mountain air begins to change. “Magical” is often the word used to describe the Gardner River Valley and in the fall it’s a vast understatement. Whether guests focus on catching dozens of Brook Trout, a hand full of giant Brown Trout or simply watch nature take its course as the elk visit the meadows near our base camp, this is what dreams are made of. We only offer two trips to this destination per year. This is our way of keeping this remarkable area special for the few folks that get to visit the backcountry in the Gardiner Valley.
Please note: this trip is operated by Wildland Llamas, a separate company from Wildland Trekking. Wildland Llamas is a licensed stock outfitter and guide company in Yellowstone National Park.
