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.

My wife and daughter did the 12 hour Yellowstone wildlife tour from Jackson. We didn’t want to spend days driving the loops and not knowing exactly what was worth stopping for, especially during the peak busy time in July. Our guide, Kelsey, was the best guide we have ever had on a tour. She was knowledgeable about every aspect of the ttrip.She picked us up promptly at 6:00 am and took us straight to our 1st stop where we saw 3 buck moose. Our day just got better and better every stop she took us to. She knew exactly what stops to make and where to go to maximize our 12 hours. Saw moose with babies, coyotes, bison with babies, a bear, and waterfowl. Also hit all the top attractions, Old Faithful, Hot Springs, canyons, mudpots, waterfalls etc. Lunch included was good. Seeing all this in 1 day saved us from driving hundreds of miles over numerous days so we could schedule other activities on our vacation. Highly recommend guide Kelsey and this tour.

Mark was a friendly and informative guide! We were able to see many aspects of wildlife in the Yellowstone area that I’m sure would’ve taken an entire week without his keen guidance! An amazing experience I will never forget!
