Backpacking Instructors

Jim Garry, M.S. (The Bison of Yellowstone ; Day Hiking the Wild Yellowstone: Northern Range Area ; Northeast Corner Backpack Expedition: Cooke City to Gardiner the Hard Way; Fall on the Northern Range ; Coyote and Raven: Two Full of Facts and Folklore; Yellowstone’s Winter Serengeti)
is a naturalist and folklorist who works in the area where natural history, human history, folklore, and myth overlap—the rich soil that grows stories. He’s spent a good bit of the last four decades in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, collecting stories from people and critters. His books include This Ol’ Drought Ain’t Broke Us Yet and The First Liar Never Has a Chance.


Patty Walton (Northeast Corner Backpack Expedition: Cooke City to Gardiner the Hard Way) has resided in the Yellowstone ecosystem for the past 20 years. She is an outdoor enthusiast who shares her passion when teaching safety, communication, and low-impact backpacking techniques through Leave No Trace principles. She is also a practicing paramedic and CPR instructor.
