Lower Loop Van Tour from West Yellowstone: Grand Prismatic and Old Faithful

Overview
This Active Van Tour is a great way to see Yellowstone National Park beginning in the fun gateway town of West Yellowstone. The early morning part of the tour explores wildlife haunts in the famous Shadow Canyon of the Madison River. This area is home to bear and elk. Later we hike to an overlook of the famous Grand Prismatic Hot Springs. If you don't feel like walking we find a safe, scenic spot for you to wait for the group near the van. Next we explore the Old Faithful area, including some time at the famous Old Faithful Inn. We continue over the continental divide at Isa Lake and down to the West Thumb Geyser Basin on Yellowstone Lake for a view of some spectacular lakeside thermal pools. Continuing our drive along Yellowstone Lake we arrive in the Hayden Valley where big herds of bison roam. Finally, we arrive at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to view the canyon and the amazing falls (one is almost 200 feet tall!). The day concludes back at West Yellowstone.

Tour guide Alex was excellent. Very polite and knowledgeable. Actual experience was also excellent. Good value. Only complaint is inability to reach anyone by phone or text to confirm pick up details.

We had a wonderful experience. Our guide Sara was excellent. She took the time to explain not only the points of interest but the history and the geography behind the entire place. She gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sights and experiences at every stop. At the end she gave us great tips on dining and shopping. The lunch sandwich was excellent!
