Upper Loop Tour and Lamar Valley from West Yellowstone with Lunch

Overview
This Active Van Tour is a great way to see the unique wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. We begin 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 scope for wildlife on the shoulders of one of Yellowstone's tallest peaks, Mount Washburn.

Next we explore the Lamar Valley, known as the Serengeti of North America. We will use spotting scopes to look for wolves, bears and other wildlife. Enjoy a hot drink while watching wolves.

Next we visit the Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces for a short walk. If you don't feel like walking we find a safe, scenic spot for you to wait for the group near the van.

Finally, we head back toward West Yellowstone stopping for additional wildlife sightings along the way.

We had an amazing time! Karlie was very sweet and knowledgeable. She took the time to get to know us. She was always willing to stop for the photo op when possible. Loved the sandwich/snacks. I would definitely recommend...I would definitely love to come back.

It was an early start to the morning, but well worth getting up early to get to the park and get started seeing the wildlife ! We were happy we booked this tour because it enabled both of us to see what we came to see and to have an experienced guide take us to all the hotspots for wildlife. We saw just about everything we wanted to except for a bear! Our tour guide, Austin, was a great guide. We would highly recommend this tour.
