What To Expect

Hayden Valley

One of the best wildlife viewing places in Yellowstone National Park. Therefore, one of the best places to see wildlife in the world! We will head to this area of the park first to maximize our odds at seeing black bears, wolves, bison, and grizzlies!!

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

At 308" tall these falls are 308 feet (94 m) high, or nearly twice as high as Niagara Falls. The volume of water flowing over Lower Yellowstone Falls can vary from 680 cu ft/s (19 m3/s) in the autumn, to 8,400 cu ft/s (240 m3/s) at peak runoff in late springtime.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the most breathtaking sight inside Yellowstone National Park. Twenty miles long, the canyon is up to 4,000-feet wide and 1,200-feet deep in places. It's located on the eastern side of the park. From several vantage points, you can view Lower Falls plunging steeply into the canyon 308 feet, or the Upper Falls tumbling 109 feet.

Yellowstone Lake

Depending on the day we might: hike, walk, view historic architecture, or possibly have a very scenic lunch right along Yellowstone Lake (largest lake in North America above 7000'' of elevation/ 126 miles of shoreline) at one of our secret secluded lunch spots!

Yellowstone Geysers - Mud Volcano Area

Hike/ easy walking to view these incredible geothermal features that only exist inside Yellowstone!

Old Faithful

Hike/ easy walking to view these incredible geothermal features that only exist inside Yellowstone!

Upper Geyser Basin

We will access an area of the largest geyser basin in the park from an obscure entry point that few people know exist. In this area we will hike to multiple hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles that will get us into a place that's hidden in plain sight and few other tourist ever seem to find. This trail os often our clients favorite part of their tour. Over the years we have received tremendous feedback on this family friendly hike.

Morning Glory Pool

Hike/ easy walking to view these incredible geothermal features that only exist inside Yellowstone!

Grand Prismatic Spring

What Makes the Grand Prismatic so Grand? Grand Prismatic Spring, located in Midway Geyser Basin, has the distinction of being the park’s largest hot spring and third largest inn the world. It measures approximately 370 feet (112.8 m) in diameter and is over 121 feet (37 m) deep. A description of this spring by fur trapper Osborne Russell in 1839 also makes it the earliest described thermal feature in Yellowstone that is definitely identifiable

Fountain Paint Pot

Along this short walk you will see very good examples of most types of thermal features found in Yellowstone. These features include some extremely colorful hot springs,, steaming fumaroles, erupting geysers and the best mudpots in the park. The area is highly active and at least one geyser is erupting here at all times.

Firehole Lake Drive

Beautiful geysers and hot springs as well as the possibility of grazing bison!

Firehole Canyon Drive

Beautiful 40 foot waterfall at confluence of ancient rhyolite lava flows.

Derek with Yellowstone Adventure Tours was very knowledgeable about the history, science and animals of Yellowstone.(helpful that he majored in Environmental Science) Even after doing a lot of reading and research, there is no way my husband and I could have understood and appreciated the area as much without this private tour. Truly once in a lifetime experience Derek is also very personable but not intrusive. Great about knowing how to avoid the traffic and people while getting you to the best spots. He truly gave the trip a lot more meaning! Thank you , Derek for a great day? Hope to come do the Upper Loop sometime.

This was our first time in Yellowstone. We only knew what we had read. We decided to go with a private tour for the first full day in Yellowstone. We hit the lottery as far as guides go. Steve was great. Tailored the tour to what we wanted to see. Hit all the highlights perfectly. He also gave us suggestions on how to spend the remainder of the trip and where to go and when! It could not have gone any better and my family and I were very happy with the decision to take this tour! Steve was a walking/talking history lesson of the park! Would absolutely do it again!

We had a family of four private tour of lthree areas of Yellowstone in June 2019, and we had a wonderful experience. Our guide Steve was incredibly experienced and very knowledgeable about each of the areas we visited and shared insight and information about everything we encountered. Steve assessed our capabilities and paced our group well, we have two 48 year olds and an 18 and 20 year old in our group. We hiked to Grand Prismatic for terrific pictures with a great backdrop, we hiked to Fairy Falls at a comfortable place and had a great opportunity to capture some great images. Later in the day we we went to Old Faithful and enjoyed a satisfying lunch on the terrace overlooking the area. The best part was taking a hike off the usual paths to Sulfur Mountain and experiencing not only a wonderful hike and unique landscapes but witnessing a large adult grizzly bear with his kill of an elk on our way out toward the trailhead. Steve kept us all safe and informed the entire trip, his preparation and professionalism are top notch. On our trip we witnessed wildlife of elk, bison and grizzly bear as well as hearing wolves communicating with each other. I look forward to our next trip with Yellowstone Adventure Tours, I recommend them with complete confidence.
