What To Expect

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park also spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs, and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. Note: This 142+ miles-long tour covers the essentials of Yellowstone National Park in 5-6 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

West Thumb Geyser Basin

First in this section of the park is the West Thumb Geyser Basin, one of Yellowstone's largest geyser basins which features some truly remarkable geothermal features.

Shoshone Lake

Your route takes you next past Shoshone Lake, a lovely secluded little patch of wilderness with a great hiking trail to boot.

Old Faithful

Old Faithful, up next, is one of Yellowstone's most famous attractions for a reason. This huge geyser is so reliable it was once referred to as "eternity's timepiece"!

Firehole River

You've heard of hot tubs, but how about a hot river? That's exactly what you'll find at Firehole River, a river naturally heated by a nearby hot spring.

Grand Prismatic Spring

Then you'll be able to park and see Grand Prismatic up close. It's a staggeringly huge hot spring with rings of shocking color encircling it. This is one of Yellowstone's can't-miss attractions!

Fountain Paint Pot

Next up is the Fountain Paint Pot, a wonderfully colorful mud pot which is constantly burbling and rearranging itself thanks to the volcanic power underneath it.

West Yellowstone Visitor Information Center

You'll see the West Entrance Visitor Information Center if entering the park via the town of West Yellowstone.

Gibbon Falls

After that you'll find Gibbon Falls, one of the park's most easily accessible waterfalls. Unlike many falls, which require long hikes down rocky trails, this one can be seen from the road!

Artists Paintpots

Your route takes you next to the Artist's Paint Pots, another set of colorful mud pots featuring a boardwalk which takes you past not only the paint pots, but also a bunch of small geysers as well. This is a must-see spot.

Norris Geyser Basin

The next geyser basin you'll reach is the Norris Geyser Basin, the oldest, hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone, with temperatures measured up to 459 degrees below the surface!

Swan Lake Flats

Up next are the Swan Lake Flats. These aren't just a great place to spot wildlife, they're also the birthplace of one of Yellowstone's eight wolf packs!

Mammoth Hot Springs

After that, you'll see Mammoth Hot Springs, one of Yellowstone's most picturesque features. But these terraced hot springs aren't just perfect for photos--they're also a huge draw for the local elk population!

Boiling River

If entering from the north entrance, you'll pass another heated river called the Boiling River. Don't worry about the name, though--it's actually quite a pleasant temperature!

Roosevelt Arch

The Roosevelt Arch is a rusticated triumphal arch at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana, United States. Constructed under the supervision of the US Army at Fort Yellowstone, its cornerstone was laid down by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903.

Albright Visitor Center and Museum

The Albright Visitor Center is up next for those entering from the north, and it's a great place for anyone to stop for snacks or a restroom break.

Undine Falls

Up next are the Undine Falls, a 60-foot waterfall named after fairies from German folklore.

Wraith Falls

Just across from Undine Falls is a trailhead leading to the 80-foot Wraith Falls, another of Yellowstone's nearly 350 waterfalls!

Lamar Valley

As you drive, you'll pass Lamar Valley next. This valley is the best place in Yellowstone to spot the park's iconic wildlife. You'll almost definitely see bison here, and might even get lucky and catch sight of some elusive wolves!

Mount Washburn

Mount Washburn, elevation 10,243 feet, is a prominent mountain peak in the Washburn Range in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The peak was named in 1870 to honor Henry D. Washburn, leader of the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition.

Canyon Village Area

Next, you'll pass through Canyon Village, the strange, semi-town where many of Yellowstone's workers live during their time at the park. It offers a fun glimpse into what life is like for the park employees!

Inspiration Point

Continuing on, you'll arrive at Inspiration Point, the most popular of the overlooks along Yellowstone's Grand Canyon. The vista here is simply unmatched anywhere else in the park.

Hayden Valley

Up next is Hayden Valley, which offers a glimpse into the past. Though it's a lush green valley today, it was once at the bottom of a lake!

Cody

Those entering from the east will enter through the park's East Entrance in Cody.

Yellowstone Lake

Finally, you'll arrive at Yellowstone Lake, the largest high elevation lake in North America. This pristine lake is too cold to swim in, but it makes the perfect place for a picnic or even a boat ride!

My husband and I are traveling with our dogs and needed to drive ourselves around Yellowstone. This was an awesome way to get some history and very interesting facts and stories. We did the whole grand loop over two days. (Except where there was a road closure). Highly recommend!

The tour and information were good, however, our signal in most of the park was so poor that it worked about 20% of the time. I had purchased a data plan on my Apple iPad Air and downloaded the app and maps prior to entering the park. It’s a big download, took 15 minutes on the hotel WiFi. The tour started off well at the south entrance, then our vehicle was lost to the program. It found us, again, at the Old Faithful area. We stopped and walked the area, so that was not supported by the tour. When we left that area, we again lost the signal or it lost us and we were never able to sync with the tour. I’m not sure if the problem is our AT&T cellular data plan or the lack of signal strength in the areas of the park away from the “main” tourist areas. For most of our time in Yellowstone we had 0 bars indicating signal strength. No phone service, no cell data plan, only smoke signals would have worked. Maybe Shumers’ infrastructure bill will provide $ to bring communication in the National Parks into the 21st century. Or not.

We’re very sorry to hear you had connectivity issues! Our tours are designed to function offline, with or without signal, so we’d very much like to hear more details about the issues you encountered in Yellowstone. If you can contact us with further information, we’ll have our team look into the problem right away. Thank you!

The self driving tour was really good. We could start and stop it at any point. However I only needed to pay for one adult. You should charge per carload not per person.

Response from Host

Thanks for your review! Tour flexibility is super important to us, especially in a sprawling park like Yellowstone. Apologies if the app description was not clear, but you are absolutely correct--we recommend only purchasing one tour per carload, since everyone can listen to the same device. We hope you’ll keep Action Tour Guide in mind for the future! You can access our full library of tours at ActionTourGuide.com
