Guiding is a long-held tradition in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Early regional explorers from the Corps of Discovery to the Hayden Surveys were guided by American Indians and mountain men. Tourists were guided to the wonders of Yellowstone National Park since its creation 150 years ago, and today, many visitors rely on the expertise of local guides to enrich their experiences. Hunters, anglers, skiers, rafters, and others seeking wild places and wildlife, as well as the thrill of being in a natural landscape, also explore our area with guides. The speaker series programs highlight the knowledge of area guides and acknowledges their roles in using resources wisely and educating the public.
Ken Sinay has been a been a professional wildlife guide in Yellowstone and the surrounding ecosystem for over 30 years. He created one of the first wildlife touring companies in Yellowstone and Montana in 1990 and designed an array of year-round outdoor services for clients to experience wildlife in secure and respectful formats. In 2020 he sold that business. With the formation of his new business, Yellowstone Now, Sinay specializes in river trips, wildlife observation, educational opportunities and programs, presentations (including stories of wildlife and cultural history), social media wildlife and nature video productions, and information to help people experience a shared natural heritage.
Sinay’s bachelors and graduate studies focused on Wildlife Biology and Natural Resource Management. His professional and technical environmental career includes a variety of natural resource management agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, private industry and wilderness outfitters. Sinay also delivers film, video, television, radio, written, and public presentations.
(Details of the second program on October 26 are to be announced.) On Wednesday, November 2, Ski guide Reed Youngbar, Beartooth Powder Guides based in Cooke City, gives a program titled, “What’s Behind the Guided Experience?
