A little late, I did the Belcher river trail in Yellowstone National Park with big wild adventures and it was awesome a true small family company, Jesse an owner is great, laid back and super cool, they take care of all your needs. Scott our guide was great, very knowledgeable, took care of everything, had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend, if your looking to go, they are the go to company to use, trust me you won’t be disappointed!

Just returned from the 5-night Canyonlands trip in Utah. Dave was an amazing guide- he chose a a great route and made sure we always had enough food and water- this was a trip we wouldn’t have been able to do ourselves. Pre-trip communication was prompt and helpful. These folks are clearly passionate about their company and trips- highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this company. In 2016, I did a 6 day back pack with Big Wild Adventures. The quality of the guides was excellent. My husband & I then signed up with Big Wild for a May 2018 , 6 day float trip on the Missouri River. No prior canoeing experience was required. The trip is planned for that time the year because it is just ahead of the snow pack coming down, and the river is quite mellow. But the winter of 2018/19 produced 150% of normal snowpack in Montana. By late April,, tributaries to the Missouri were running very high & dams controlling flooding on the Missouri River were filling rapidly. A week before the trip start, I raised concerns about the size of the river. Two days before the trip start, NOA issued a “Minor Flood Stage” warning for the stretch of the river to be covered on last few days of the trip. The river normally runs at 19,000 cfs (cubic foot per second) that time of the year, but was forecasted to be at 35,000cfs. The final takeout point was already underwater. We felt the NOA warnings made it clear the trip was unsafe for novice canoers. Big Wild felt the river was totally safe, refused to cancel the trip, did not offer a refund, and did not offer to reschedule the following year. We are out $3,800. Trip insurance? It is doubtful trip insurance would cover since the trip was not cancelled.. We accept the risk of forecasted and unexpected bad weather. But when NOA forecasts unsafe conditions in advance of a trip, the guide company should have accommodated our concerns.

I had an excellent experience on this hike. The scenery was spectacular, the weather was perfect, and Jesse, the guide, set a comfortable pace through rugged territory. This is a not a horizontal hike. 90% of the time you are climbing up the slope or going down it. 4 of the 5 nights we ended at a glacier-fed lake and had a refreshing swim that felt great. We were generally done hiking by 2-3 PM. If you don't enjoy looking at scenery, bring a book. Otherwise, relax and enjoy the view.

The owner had not properly assessed the conditions (worst mud he's ever seen), so on our week, we almost put 3 vehicles in the ditch on the way to the trailhead. Even then, the main access approach was impassable, and we had to walk back out. The tour as planned was a bust. It was rather dull. There were some physical issues as well. 4 of our 8 guys left after 2 days. We went to Plan B. The guides were nice. It was interesting but not worth it. Too expensive for too little. I cannot recommend the trip.
