The heart and soul of Lodging and Learning is our corps of talented naturalist guides. Veteran Yellowstone educators, intimately familiar with the park and its resources, they inspire, inform, and entertain with an enthusiasm for Yellowstone that is unmistakable. A diverse group that includes wildlife biologists, Park Service interpreters, geologists, environmental educators, authors, artists, and musicians, these instructors embody the ideals of Lodging and Learning–enjoyment of the natural world, lifelong learning, and protection of Yellowstone National Park.
