Brian Burrus
Originally from Fresno, California, Brian grew up near the Sierra Nevada mountains. Every summer, his family would take him camping and from the very young age he was immersed into nature, which he grew to love and appreciate. In 2014, Brian started working in Kings Canyon Canyon National Park. Since then he has worked in Sequoia, Grand Canyon, and Death Valley National Parks. In 2018, he began working in Yellowstone National Park, coming back every summer for work. During his first year in Yellowstone, he fell in live with its most beautiful animal – the Gray Wolf. He started working as a tour guide in 2024 and realized that nothing made him more happy than showing the wolves to his guests. When not working, you can find him in Hayden Valley looking at the Wapiti Lake pack, which currently has around 23 adult wolves and 11 puppies. He hopes to continue guiding for many years to come and put a smile on everyone’s face when they see a wild wolf or a grizzly in their natural environment.
John has always loved spending time in nature. Growing up in Southeastern Idaho, he regularly went camping and hiking with his family. Yellowstone has always been one of his favorite places to be. John is an avid photographer and enjoys taking pictures of the beautiful scenery of the area.
