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.

Our day was great, and our experiences included those items in the tour's description and more. We were fortunate that there were enough patrons to warrant two vans rather then squeeze us all into one, and our day was clear with no rain. Also we had a wonderful naturalist guide in Rebecca, who described everything in detail and strategically took us to more places than anticipated, such as the black sand basin pots, both Lower and Upper falls, and the most picturesque photo shots. Of course we saw Old Faithful, the Tetons, and the wildlife - bison, black bear, elk, pronghorn, and even a close up of a yellow-bellied Marmot. There were several stops along the way for pictures and breaks, and Rebecca made every effort to stop when requested. One stop was for lunch at Yellowstone's visitor center - she set a nice picnic lunch for us of tasty sandwiches. The twelve hour tour went by quickly as there were beautiful sightings around every corner. Thanks Rebecca for an unforgettable day.

Hi there- wow!! Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and stellar feedback with our company! We sure think Rebecca is great too, and I am so glad to hear that she was able to show you folks everything Yellowstone has to offer. It sounds like you had the dream day for wildlife sighting! We hope you can make it back to the area to join us for another tour again soon.

We weren't sure exactly what to expect on this tour, but we absolutely loved it! Our guides were Garron and Mary, and they did a great job. We saw pronghorn, moose, elk, bison, a bear, a fox...so many things. We laughingly said that Mary was picking up her phone telling "them" to send the next animal because we saw everything we'd hoped to see. In addition to the animals, we saw some gorgeous landmarks and landscapes. Also, Garron stopped plenty of times for bathroom breaks and for us to stretch our legs. It was a long day, but the hours flew by! Oh, and I cannot forget to say that lunch was really good! It was a turkey sandwich, fruit, chips, and soda/water. The turkey looked like it was freshly sliced from a delicatessen, not just deli meat from a plastic container, and there was plenty of it! ...a yummy, filling lunch for the journey. I really cannot say enough good things about this trip and our guides. It was a highlight of our vacation!

Didn’t know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. This was a 12 hour tour with tons of info by our knowledgeable guide Bobby. He made us feel welcome and customized the tour for us. It was a newer van that was comfortable and easy to see from. Water and snacks were provided. Highly recommend this tour company and especially Bobby as the guide.
