Yellowstone boasts 2.2 million acres of high mountain country dedicated for the "enjoyment and benefit of the people." YCERP takes these words to heart and enjoy it we do! Our outdoor recreation program offers a variety of activities that showcase the best of Greater Yellowstone.
Guided Interpretive Group Hikes form the core of our outdoor recreation program. Full day, evening, and full moon hikes allow employees with various work schedules to participate.
