100 Mile Hiking Club, Educational Seminars, Exploration Yellowstone & More!

100 MILE HIKING CLUB:

Our 100 Mile Hiking Club challenges employees to hike, in a single summer season, 100 miles within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.  A $10 membership fee entitles you to a membership t-shirt, hike log sheet, and Day Hiking Yellowstone, a hiking guide written by former YNP employee and author Tom Carter.  This compact, easy to carry book highlights twenty classic Yellowstone hikes along with helpful information about staying safe in the park’s wild, remote, high altitude terrain.

Hiking 100 miles earns members an achievement t-shirt (that’s two shirts for $10!), a keychain, and a certificate proclaiming their accomplishment.  Lifelong Hiking Club members can work towards the 500, 1,000, or 5,000 mile milestones.

Join the 100 Mile Hiking Club at any location recreation office.  All you need is $10 and a sense of adventure!

EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS:

What are the differences between grizzly and black bears?  How many wolves live in Yellowstone?  When do cutthroat trout spawn?  Learn the answers to these questions and much more at employee only seminars. Each summer experts in their fields present on topics such as, Bear, Wolf, Flora, Bison, Archaeology, Fisheries and more in locations throughout the park.
