What To Expect

Yellowstone National Park

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

Grand Teton National Park

Fountain Paint Pot

If you want to see all four types of thermal features in one spot, then make sure to stop in at Fountain Paint Pot. Here you get to see hot springs, geysers, mud pots and fumaroles. A larger carpark and easy 0.6 mile boardwalk loop make it very accessible for all.

Lamar Valley

This wide, broad valley is a mecca for serious wildlife watchers. Bison, elk, bears, wolves, antelopes and otters are just a few of the species you might spot in this rich wildlife habitat.

Mammoth Hot Springs

There are approximately 50 hot springs at Mammoth Hot Springs, divided into two terraces, Upper and Lower. The springs are constantly changing and have built an impressive variety of travertine terraces, cascading pools, and sometimes colorful mounds. There are boardwalks that allow you to get close, with excellent photo locations on the Lower Terrace. And there is a short driving loop to follow along through the Upper Terrace. Liberty Cap is the most striking formation that stands like a guard for the area. It's a tall, slender mound that is no longer connected to a hot water source. Mammoth is also the location of many visitor services and the Visitor Center and Museum for this corner of the Park.

Artists Paintpots

For just a short unpaved trail and boardwalk loop of just over 1 mile with 125 feet of elevation, Artist Paintpots sure packs a punch, with numerous hot springs, geysers, a fumarole and of course mudpots. Through the steam, notice the mudpots stained with iron oxide, creating a pretty pastel palette of colors any artist would be happy to work with. As you follow the trail it slowly climbs to the top of the loop, which provides a great view back out over the thermal area.

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is without a doubt the most famous geyser in the entire Park - and with good reason. Since we have been watching it, it's erupted spectacularly every 60 - 90 minutes or so. So not quite on the hour as the myth suggests, but as the most predictable geyser in the Park, it is still close to being "nature's time piece".

Upper Geyser Basin

The largest and most concentrated of the geyser basins located in Yellowstone and home to Old Faithful, but there are another 150 geysers to visit in this basin too. Check in at the visitor center for prediction times for multiple geysers, and plan your route exploring the basin to try and time your visit to see a variety of eruptions. Explore the 2 mile round trip paved path from Old Faithful Lodge to Morning Glory Pool, stopping at Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser and Riverside Geyser along the way.

Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone. It's colorful microbial mats of red, orange, yellow and green around the edges of the pool contrast the deep blue center center of the pool. There's an extensive boardwalk that allows you to see the colors up close, but there can often be steam blowing off the spring that might cloud any photos. See it from above on the the Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, just south of Midway Geyser Basin. Enter the small Fairy Falls Parking lot and walk the .6 mile with slight elevation of 100 feet to the overlook. Midway Geyser Basin / Grand Prismatic Spring is only a short 7 mile drive from Old Faithful, so it's a natural segway for your day. It's also one of the most photographed, and busy, spots in the National Park, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Incredible forces have carved a 20 mile, up to 1200 foot deep canyon along the path of the Yellowstone River. The carving action of the Yellowstone River has also created 2 magnificent waterfalls inside the canyon. There are 2 aspects to see both the Upper and Lower Falls from, with multiple viewpoints for each. You will want to take in as many of these different views as your time allows.

Boiling River

Boiling River is one of only two areas where you can soak in Yellowstone. It is closed in Spring/early Summer due to the fast current and dangerous high water. There is no lifeguard and some microorganisms live the warm water, so be sure and check current conditions before you go. Please note you can only soak in the river and not in the hot spring.

Menor's Ferry Historical Trail

Menors Ferry was a cable ferry operated by its namesake William Menor, and for a quarter century starting in the late 1800s, was the only way to get across the Snake River without traveling for miles in either direction. A working replica of the ferry has been rebuilt along with the general store he operated. It's filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the time. A fun short stop.

Moose Wilson Road

Drive slowly along the road connecting the town of Moose and Teton Village, the accommodation base for the Jackson Hole Ski Area. Keep your eyes peeled for both black and grizzly bears, moose and deer through the trees and marshy habitats. The Laurance S Rockefeller Preserve facility is also found along this road. This road is closed to RVs and longer trailers (23 feet+).

Mormon Row Historic District

Mormons were among the earliest settlers in the valley of Jackson Hole and they worked cooperatively, at one stage 27 homesteads clustered together. To this day water drains through the irrigation ditches dug by hand. The two most photogenic structures that remain are barns that belonged to two Moulton brothers on neighboring properties. The perfect photo lines up the barns, with the Grand Teton peaks in the background.

Signal Mountain Summit Road

It's just a short 5 mile drive from Teton Park Road to the top of Signal Mountain. This is the easiest way to access an elevated viewpoint inside the valley that is Jackson Hole. There are two excellent viewpoints at the summit that provide perspective of how vast the valley is, and how it appears to be completely ringed by mountain ranges. RVs and trailers are prohibited on this road.

Jenny Lake

Jenny Lake is the most popular and busiest part of the park. The lake was formed as a depression caused by giant glaciers that once sat above it. Take a ride across Jenny Lake by boat (tickets available at the dock) and then enjoy the short walk to Hidden Falls.

West Thumb Geyser Basin

Located on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, the West Thumb Geyser Basin can be less congested that other areas of the Park and offers some unique thermal features including Fishing Cone Hot Spring. While tiny, it was a landmark for years after a famous incident, that happened while expedition member Walter Trumbum was reeling a fish onshore. With the final swing, the fish unhooked and fell right into the spring. "For a moment it darted about with wonderful rapidity, as if seeking an outlet. Then it came to the top, dead, and literally boiled." It became quite the attraction until some were badly burned trying to replicate and eventually prohibited as an unhealthy and dangerous practice. Another of the highlights along the trail is Abyss Pool, noted for its depth of 53 feet which you can imagine continuing forever along its sloped walls through a dazzling shade of blue. Large wildlife, like elk, are often seen wandering between the hot pools and geysers at West Thumb.

This audio tour was super easy to use! It followed us whatever direction we traveled and gave us history, important sights and optional side trips. We had our trip fairly well planned but this added even more. I highly recommend investing $25 on this audio tour!!!

Not sure if I was the problem, if so I will improve my rating. App was easy to set up and played right away through Android app. So I first thought, perfect. About 10 minutes in the tour from the starting point at west gate, the sound I thought silenced. Stopped the car and tried somehow to get sound back. Disconnected, reconnected, checked Android auto setting on cae and phone loosing about 45 minutes. Sure couldn't look for help on the internet because there was no wifi or phone connection at that location in the park. Moved on and miraculously sound came back at some point, but.... During the whole tour, the guidance muted before any given section had finished. Always somewhere in the middle of a sentence. When arriving at the next section, a few times i believe it picked up where it had stopped before, but most of the time not. So I lost a lot of the tour explanations. I thought it may have to do that I exceeded the speed limit, but I than conscientious drove slow and below speedlight, dragging multiple cars impatiently behind me, and it still happened. So after a few hours I gave up and moved on. Unfortunately, dew to the initial back and forth, it got dark and we missed the last 4 or 5 attractions. Between the sections it is absolutely quiet. Dew the initial issue, i never knew if it was just the pause or if I lost connection or whatever. Would be good if there would be some music between talks indicating that everything was ok.

Hi Jurgen, we're glad you found the app easy to set up and thought it was perfect. It’s essential to download and set up the tour in advance with a good network connection, which we always recommend before your travel date. Currently, our app doesn't support Android Auto, and we’ll consider adding background music between sections in future updates to enhance the experience. Give the tour another try, as it’s valid forever, and the next time, you can follow the detailed instructions and tutorial video sent via email. Contact our support team if you encounter any issues—they’ll gladly assist you. We hope to join you on the road again soon!
