About
Prismatic Tours started operating in Yellowstone in 2021. Through the years we have gained a deep love and understanding of the park while still striving for more. It was natural for Yellowstone to become a hobby in itself. From hiking to geyser gazing, to learning about all of the local research projects, we find our bucket lists only get longer the more time we spend here.
We started our operation running small group, exclusive kayak tours and slowly expanded. We now offer a variety of kayaking and hiking tours around the park, and soon to expand into fly fishing, as we have gained professional fly-fishing guides. Our mission is to help create fun, memorable experiences in the park, so Yellowstone can become one of your favorite places too!

Just a fun, casual guy. Dylan is 8 seasons in, and counting, and you would be hard-pressed to find someone with more experience and knowledge about Yellowstone. Originally from Ohio, and with a biology background, Dylan first moved to Yellowstone to work on the fishing research vessels and pretty quickly got hooked on the big adventures to be had in the area. Now he has no plans on leaving.
Maddi likes kayaking. She grew up on the lakes in northern Wisconsin, cleaning up trash, fishing or taking a nap on her little green kayak. Yellowstone offered a great opportunity to make kayaking a career. Dream job! "Something about the park just sucks you in and it's hard to leave," Maddi's reason for spending all of her summers and some winters here since 2020.
From the Fox Valley region of Wisconsin, Tiffany had her eyes on a great adventure. She converted a van and began her journey to Yellowstone. She may not have known it that first summer, but life in Yellowstone as a park guide makes you come back. After one summer in the park, it turned into another summer, a winter, another summer and so on. Now an avid geyser gazer, Tiffany loves all things thermal, floral, and obscure about Yellowstone's unique ecosystem.

Michael left the real world working as a clinical researcher to explore the peaks of the greater Yellowstone region. One of Michael's favorite things to do, is hike uphill. The more elevation gain, the better. One of his most talked about hikes was a 40 mile, one day "death march" through the Bechler region of Yellowstone.
Steve began working in Yellowstone in 1990, scooping ice cream at Old Faithful. After college he began a diverse 30-year career in more than a dozen national parks and wildlife refuges, starting in Yellowstone’s Bear Management Office and retiring last year from Olympic National Park. He is thrilled to bookend his career by returning to his favorite place. Steve is enthusiastic about outdoor education and volunteers during the off season with youth environmental education at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and Oglebay Nature Camp.
