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.

We took the one day, lower loop tour through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Our guide Seth was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and informative about the land, history, and wildlife. He was passionate about what he did and had a great eye for spotting the wildlife, giving us the ability to see bison, moose, pronghorn, and even four bears. He took extra time at the end of the tour to ensure we saw 610, a famous bear in the area. We were a smaller group and had the ability to make extra stops on the tour. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone looking for an all encompassing tour of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.

We had a fabulous time with our guide Faith, saw plentiful wildlife and learned a great amount of facts and figures about the park....we did the tour on our first full day at Yellowstone (recommended so you can pick and choose places to return to and spend more time!) Highlight of our day was a nice picnic lunch at an area near a stream where we had a close-up look at Bison!!

This tour was everything i hoped it would be and more. Our guide Seth was amazing. He has a great knowledge of both National parks and always has an eye our for any wildlife that may be in the known areas. Hotel pick up was on time and we set off and first saw a Moose and prog horns.The drive into the Tetons is stunning and we saw all the must see sights in Yellowstone. We got to see many herds of Bison and to the delight of my son, the highlight was seeing a grizzly strolling through the brush on the side of the road. A bit later Seth surprised us with an off the track visit to see grizzly 610, a famous Yellowstone mumma bear and her 2 cubs. I really don't think I have said WOW so many times in one day. The tour is very well organised and the lunch is great. If you pick one tour to do while in Jackson, do this one. I can not say thank you enough to Seth, you made my son's Yellowstone dream come true!
