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.

Amazing experience!! I had a fun time and really enjoyed myself, all thanks to our tour guide Kaya!! She was amazing and made the 12 hour journey so much fun! Even though we split into multiple vans and had all the teens and kids in Kaya’s van she was very friendly and took good care of us! We saw bears, elk, and bison closely while staying safe. It was an amazing way to experience Yellowstone- I would definitely recommend it!

We did this tour, with the exception of Old Faithful, since we had already seen it the day before. Our tour guides were Gannon and Jesus. These 2 guys are amazing!!! They were very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife. They knew where to go,and never rushed us to leave a sighting. The pictures they took were amazing, and they were able to share those with us. An amazing gift to remember the trip by. Their binoculars were high powered so we could see wildlife far away very clearly. But, we saw a lot, I mean a lot of wildlife up close! They were always very careful about proximity to the animals for their safety as well as ours. They had snacks in the vehicle and lunch was provided. The only negative was the vehicle we were in might have been a challenge getting in and out of for anyone with a mobility problems. The SUV had 3 row seating , and the tour guides were up front, husband in the middle, and the wives in the far back. We sat there because the leg room was too short for the husbands. We ( the wives) were able to climb in & out , but after all day and many stops, it became a challenge. We are in good shape though, just a little sore the next day. Just something you might consider is you have problems crawling in & out of the back of an SUV. I highly recommend this tour!!! The guides couldn’t have been more helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! They recommended what we could do for the rest of our trip. I suggest doing this tour on your first day in the park so you know where to go on your next days. Thanks Gannon & Jesus for an amazing, memorable tour!! You guys are the best!!

Great guided tour by Faith! She was the most knowledgeable tour guide I’ve ever had, and went out of her way to make the experience perfect. Highly recommend the tour, the company, and more specifically Faith.
