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.

Jess was incredibly outgoing and immensely knowledgeable about all aspects of our 12 hour tour. She has spent years learning so she could be the very best at what she does. The sights she helped point out, we would have never have even seen, much less understood. Population goal and count of the elk and antelope. All of the incredible geology (boiling mud, hot springs, steam). Best spot to watch old faithful and the Yellowstone Grand Canyon. A tip from another guide that allowed us to see 2 fox and Elk (many others never saw). Which stops in the Yellowstone were worth it. We left early to avoid the crowds. And her lack of entitlement was unlike anything I have ever seen or heard of (you will understand this if you have the opportunity to meet this individual). She was also so patient and truly enjoyed stopping to see (and explain in detail) all of the animals and sights, like it was her first time with us. She would have stayed hours longer even though she was up and Adam again the next day. What an incredible tour, place to be, and young woman.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide was so knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. We covered so much in the day - we could never have seen this much on our own. Having a small group and comfortable van was great!

We booked a family tour at the last minute so we were assigned a driver/guide and just our family of 5. Steve was attentive, courteous and professional. He is a resident of the area and grew up here so his personal perspective of the area made us feel like we were his personal guests. I have been to this area several times by myself and I wanted my family to get as much of value out of our week here. I learned more about Yellowstone and the area than my previous trips combined. Steve knew all the industry "tricks" for gettings us to the best spots and to beat the crowds. We arrived 5 minutes before Old Faithful erupted and continued on to see all the other great sites. I would highly recommend this company and this Tour to anyone wanting to see and learn about Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.
