“Earthfire is a very sacred experience. The beautiful spirits of the animals and the people touched my heart very deeply and I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to feel the love and beauty here.” –Kimberly Hruby, MN
Meet wild animals (bears, wolves, foxes, coyotes, bison and more) in the intimate setting of Earthfire Institute Wildlife Sanctuary and Retreat Center and experience the profound connection between all life. This 40-acre wildlife sanctuary is a loving home to wild animals that can never be released into the wild, and a refuge for reflecting—in their company—on how to create a truly sustainable world.
After several remarkable inter-species meetings, we’ll hike in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to further connect with the landscape and the environment that these amazing animals call home. Earthfire Institute is a nonprofit organization and a large percentage of their proceeds are used to feed the animals. The Hole Hiking Experience will donate 10% of tour proceeds for the animals.
