What To Expect

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Our Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone hike combines one of the Park’s most spectacular attractions with a serene journey through forests, meadows, lakes, and mud pots. The day starts by enjoying Artist Point, one of the most phenomenal waterfall views in N. America. Then we set off on the trail for more awe-inspiring views of this uniquely colored canyon. We escape the crowds as our route continues through a fragrant forest that opens up to picturesque meadows and lakes. Finally, we reach a backcountry geyser basin, yet another zone. Here we enjoy the rare pleasure of viewing mud pots and fumaroles without the boardwalks. We'll find a pleasant spot to sit and fill up on a delicious picnic lunch prepared by your guide. This trail system offers the flexibility to make this hike anywhere between 3.5 to 8 miles, with a couple variations in between. All options will offer the highlights. Let your guide know what your goals are for the day and they will pick the best route for you.

I had booked a four days and three nights Yellowstone hiking trip with Wildland Trekking Company. Two days before the start of the trip the Yellowstone got flooded and was closed. I and many of my group members were already in the Jackson Hole area when the Yellowstone was closed. Wildland changed the trip to alternate location in the Wyoming range Cliff Creek Falls hike. It was a great location with a similar country as Yellowstone. This location provided great views and we gained around 3,000 feet of elevation. The trip was very well organized. The guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. The guide took a very good care of all the group members. He cooked very delicious and healthy meals. There was plenty of food for everyone.

We have a fabulous time with Adriana who took us on a hike of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The tour started when she spotted a HUGE bull elk on the side of the road and stopped to point it out - and it ended with her pointing out the rainbow between the trees (see pictures). She was patient (we aren't savvy hikers) and so knowledgeable. She showed us fabulous sights that I know we never would have seen without doing this tour. She made us a fabulous lunch ~ and she noted on the paperwork that my birthday was that week and made us little bday cakes to celebrate! Thank you Adriana! You won't be disappointed with this tour!!

We had wonderful guided hike in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. There was beautiful scenery and our guide Jennifer was terrific. Jennifer was pleasant to be around, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the park. My husband and I were very happy with the guided hike and recommend the Wildland Trekking Company. We plan to use them again on our next trip to North Carolina.
