What You Will Do
This isn’t a tour—it’s a scientific expedition designed for curious minds.
Unlike standard sightseeing trips, this experience puts you in the shoes of a field biologist. You’ll go beyond the overlooks, entering areas few travelers explore. With your guide—an expert in ecology and geology—you’ll use real research tools to track wildlife, study ancient formations, and analyze one of the richest fossil environments in the world.
Rather than passively observing, you’ll actively participate.Track animal behavior using field signs and biological patterns.
Study geology hands-on, examining exposed strata millions of years old. Explore off-the-beaten-path zones like Sage Creek Wilderness, where bison, burrowing owls, and prairie dogs shape the ecosystem.
This tour is ideal for inquisitive travelers, families with budding scientists, and anyone craving more than just surface-level experiences.
