STEVE OSTEN
Escorting tours for more than 20 years
My interest in the national parks began as a child on summer vacations in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. In college, I studied Botany, Ichthyology, Mammology, and Ornithology, and I began working in Yellowstone as a summer seasonal guide years ago. I have also worked in Sequoia, the Everglades, and Alaska as a naturalist guide. Whether it’s beachcombing in Florida, birding in the Everglades, or hiking in the Tetons, as long as I’m in nature, I’m where I want to be.
