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.

With limited time in Yellowstone our group of three decided to book this tour in lieu of attempting to see the park ourselves in our RV, we are all incredibly glad we did! There is no way we would have had anywhere near as good of an experience or learnt anywhere near as much as we did with our guide Gannan. Gannan is incredibly knowledgable and his passion for the region and wildlife was evident. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, lunch and snacks were great quality and we saw more wildlife and attractions than I expected, all while being guided through the history, geography and ecology by our expert guide. In short, I would highly recommend this tour! Thanks again Gannan, and remember, Kangaroos and Emus never go backwards :)

My husband and I took the tour with Daniel - and let me tell you, you should definitely ask for him because he was so nice, knowledgeable, gave us options of what we could see, and asked us a lot of questions so he knew what we wanted to see. He went out of his way to find wildlife for our group as well. We went and had 2 other couples with us which we met on the tour but they were nice as well and the 12 hour tour day was our favorite day of our trip. The lunch was more than expected, yummy, and perfect for the day (not to heavy and very filling). My husband and I could recommend enough this tour and tour guide, Daniel!

Our guide Faith and was fantastic, and very kind. My mother was experiencing hip pain and Faith was very accommodating. Her incredible wealth of knowledge of the area was refreshing. She knew all the animals and the history of all the mountain ranges we encountered during our trip. She even explained how important the natural fires were to the ecosystem. We saw two herd of bison, two moose, a horn... raven, and a fox. We saw multiple waterfalls, and geysers, and we especially enjoyed the Teton areas. Would recommend highly for one of your first days in the Teton area to get a grasp of what you want to see and do.
