Itinerary
Yellowstone National Park (480 minutes)
On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. We'll be exploring the Lower Loop of Yellowstone National Park on your tour! You will get to experience a little of everything that makes Yellowstone National Park so famous: wildlife, geysers (including Old Faithful), waterfalls, and unforgettable scenery. Opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.
Old Faithful (60 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
The most famous geyser in the world, Old Faithful geyser was named for its frequent and somewhat predictable eruptions, which number more than a million since Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872. Guests will be able to watch Old Faithful erupt from the nearby wooden boardwalk and check major bucket list item off their list!
Old Faithful Inn (30 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
Old Faithful Inn was Built in 1903-1904 with local logs and stone from what is now the Yellowstone National Park area. The Inn is considered the largest log structure in the world. The towering lobby features a massive stone fireplace and a hand-crafted clock made of copper, wood and wrought iron serving as focal points.
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (45 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Great Loop Road at Canyon Village.
Yellowstone Lake (Pass by)
Yellowstone Lake, Grand Loop Road Between Fishing Bridge and Grant Village.
Lower Yellowstone River Falls (45 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
Lower Falls, the biggest waterfall in Yellowstone at 308-feet tall, is the most famous waterfall in the park. The canyon’s colors were created by hot water acting on volcanic rock. It was not these colors, but the river’s yellow banks at its distant confluence with the Missouri River, that occasioned the Minnetaree Indian name which French trappers translated as roche jaune, yellow stone. The canyon has been rapidly downcut more than once, perhaps by great glacial outburst floods.
Fountain Paint Pot (30 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
The Fountain Paint Pots is an amazing stop in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Loop. They are mud pots located in Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The Fountain Paint Pots are named for the rich reds, and vivid yellows and browns of the mud in this area. The differing colors are derived from oxidation states of the iron in the mud.
Hayden Valley (30 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
Hayden Valley is a must stop wildlife paradise and the location of the largest herd of free roaming bison in the world. We'll be watching for bears, wolves, bison, elk, mule deer, coyotes, fox, eagles, pronghorn and other critters while driving through this beautiful area!
West Thumb Geyser Basin (30 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
We'll walk along the boardwalk and discover the many beautiful hydrothermal pools located in this basin area that is an extension of the Yellowstone Lake area.
Oxbow Bend (20 minutes, Admission Ticket Included)
Oxbow Bend is one of the most photographed spots in Grand Teton National Park. Mount Moran, in the Grand Teton mountain range, is set in the background and the Snake River winds into a beautiful oxbow in the foreground. Mirror reflections of Mount Moran are sometimes possible when we arrive to this spot on non-windy mornings!
Jackson Lake (Pass by)
Jackson Lake is in Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. This natural lake was enlarged by the construction of the Jackson Lake Dam, which was originally built in 1911, enlarged in 1916 and rebuilt by 1989.
