Our family of four embarked on an extraordinary journey through Yellowstone National Park, courtesy of Sky's the Limit, a woman-owned tour company booked via Viator. This private tour, entering through the West entrance, was nothing short of phenomenal.
Our guide, Kat, was the heart of this exceptional experience. Her vast knowledge of the park's history and geology, coupled with her engaging storytelling, brought Yellowstone to life. Kat's personable nature made us feel like we were exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a tour guide.
Tour highlights:
⢠Old Faithful eruption (perfectly timed!). We ate our box lunches onsite at the Old Faithful Inn, which was a wonderful experience.
⢠Mud Volcano and the mysterious Dragon's Mouth Spring. The boardwalk skirted the hot mud springs for great viewing. The Dragonās Mouth is actually a cave with steam bellowing out and with sounds like a dragon is in the cave!
⢠Breathtaking Canyon Falls (taller than Niagara!). It was a bit scary looking out over the deep canyon at the fall, but it was well worth the picture-taking opportunity!
⢠Continental Divide at 8,262 ft elevation. This was the high point of our tour.
⢠The Lake Yellowstone Hotel and Yellowstone Lake (the oldest hotel in the park). An elegant hotel with a rich history of visitors and excellent fishing in the huge lake of 140 miles of coastline.
⢠Grand Prismatic Spring's mesmerizing colors. We hiked along the river and felt some of the hot water bubbling up into the river along its edge. At the springs, we enjoyed seeing multiple colors of steam, waters and land around the springs. We even felt the warm steam blow over us at one point!
⢠Firehole Falls' unique beauty. This was another beautiful fall that was smaller than Canyon Falls but was much closer to us so you could appreciate itās details.
The tour's flexibility allowed us to adjust our time at each site, ensuring we got the most out of every stop. Though not specifically an animal tour, we were treated to sightings of mule deer, bison, and elk.
Sky's the Limit's attention to detail was impressive. From our pre-ordered box lunches to the variety of snacks and water provided, our comfort was always a priority. Kat's expertise in timing our visits meant we experienced each wonder at its best.
This tour offered a perfect blend of natural wonders, geological marvels, and wildlife encounters. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that words can't fully capture. If you're looking for an immersive, personalized Yellowstone adventure, Sky's the Limit is the way to go. They turn a park visit into an unforgettable journey of discovery!

Potential guests have so much insight based on the details of your review. Thank you!
My two favorite notes from this review:
"The tour's flexibility allowed us to adjust our time at each site, ensuring we got the most out of every stop." Private tours allow for flexibility.
"⢠Continental Divide at 8,262 ft elevation. This was the high point of our tour." A bit of humor and facts!
Thanks again, Debra!
