Grub Steak Expeditions × THE REAL YELLOWSTONE™An invitation to carry the story forward.

Founding PartnershipThis fall marks the inaugural gathering of The REAL Yellowstone™ — a 4–5 night return to the campfire, bringing these stories back into a shared space for the first time.This is not the full expression of the series — it’s the beginning.Partners who step in at this stage are not simply supporting an event — they are helping shape the foundation of what this becomes.

Grub Steak Expeditions is part of a lineage that runs
deep in Yellowstone.From early guiding roots to generations of experience carried forward through Bob Richard and his family, your work has always been about more than showing the park — it’s about carrying its story forward.That same spirit sits at the center of THE REAL YELLOWSTONE™This is not a new alignment.
It’s a continuation.

From the Storytelling 🔥WEDNESDAY CAMPFIRE STORIESThere’s a long tradition in Yellowstone of learning the park from someone who’s lived it.Not from a brochure.
Not from a map.
But from a guide who knows where the stories are.This summer, I’ve had the chance to spend time in the park alongside the team at Grub Steak Expeditions — a company rooted in generations of Yellowstone guiding.Their work traces back through families who didn’t just visit this place… they helped people understand it.There’s something different about experiencing Yellowstone this way.You slow down.
You notice more.
You start to understand that the park isn’t just landscape — it’s memory, movement, and people who have carried it forward over time.That’s the kind of experience that stays with you.Part of the living story of Yellowstone.

A SHARED CONTINUATION

Because of the natural overlap between Grub Steak and this work — including Lori’s role in the field this summer — partnership can be shaped in a way that reflects both the guiding season and TRY.Yellowstone was shaped not only by policy, but by the people who lived and worked within it.The Richard's family and Grub Steak Expeditions have long been part of that story.This partnership is an opportunity to carry that forward — together.
