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

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 husband, our grandson (12) and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with our guide, Rebecca. We able to enjoy the day without worrying about reading a map or finding a parking place. We were picked up at Grant Village. The day started at 7:30 and we were very comfortable in the spacious SUV. We were able to visit every place we wanted to go as well as some we didn’t know about. Rebecca was very knowledgeable and made the day fun. She mixed things up so that it was hard to believe that the full day tour (including a hike) of the Lower Loop was over. Lots of snacks, lunch and a variety of drinks were provided. Highly recommend.

This tour was absolutely amazing. In every way, it exceeded my husband and I expectations. First of all, when I bought the tour through a 3rd party site I ended up finding out there was a misprint. I called the office and Megan was wonderful. Fast forward a few months later to yesterday and we woke up so exited for this tour! Now, let me talk about our guide Seth, he was AMAZING. Let me also add that he was professional, knowledgeable, patient and caring. He made sure to provide an unforgettable experience where we saw once in a lifetime views and wildlife but always made sure that our safety was top priority. He made the trip fun, exciting, engaging and just everything and more than we hoped for. You could genuinely tell that he has a passion and love for his job, guests and the wildlife. My husband, he is not much for tours or anything that we could do on our own but after this tour I think that may change. He could not stop telling me how great the trip was. Anytime we travel again, we will be sure to check to see if this company has tours available. Thank you for your wonderful guest services and for providing us with a once in a lifetime experience.
