What To Expect

Old Faithful

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

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

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Great Loop Road at Canyon Village,

Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake, Grand Loop Road Between Fishing Bridge and Grant Village

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

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

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

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

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.

Started the morning with a 6 am pickup from the hotel. The tour group totaled 7 people which was a perfect size to be able to ask questions and maneuver the various sites. Jessica, our guide was awesome! She was patient, informative and had a positive outlook which added to the enjoyment of the tour. We made stops along the way thru Grand Teton National Park and saw the sunrise and bear & moose. We made frequent stops thru Yellowstone National Park - saw many beautiful sites & wild animals. Took the most amazing photos along the way. Had a simple delicious picnic lunch along the river too! Got back to the hotel about 730 pm - fantastic tour, well worth the money & time!!

Wow, what a fantastic and memorable day that was! Exceeded our expectations! Picked up right at our front door in Teton Village, first sighting in Teton National Park was a herd of elk and a LARGE Bull elk in rut with plenty of sunrise bugling! Then found a Cow and her two juvenile Moose Twins munching on grass at sunrise! Then on to epic sights in Yellowstone and a divine lunch with multigrain local bread, huge Turkey sandwiches and plenty of snacks and drinks. Great guide, Kyle by the way, ALWAYS being sure that we were all happy and our needs were being cared for! Then saw Bison, more Elk, Prong horn antelope, deer, and stopped back to see a new Moose munching and moving around right in front of us (within permissible distancing of course). I hated for the day to end...dropped right back off in front of our vacay rental! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!
