What to expect
Explore Mammoth Hot Springs, a remarkable landscape of steaming springs and cascading travertine terraces formed by Yellowstone's geothermal activity. You will walk through the thermal area with your guide while learning how mineral-rich water creates the distinctive terraces and constantly changing formations.
Undine Falls
Stop at 60-foot (18 m) Undine Falls for scenic views of Lava Creek cascading through a rugged canyon. You will have time to enjoy the waterfall and take photos.
Lamar Valley
Lamar Valley has been called the Serengeti of the West, as it's one of Yellowstone's premier wildlife-viewing areas, with expansive views of open valleys and surrounding mountains. You will have time to watch for bison, elk, pronghorn, wolves, bears, and other wildlife while your guide helps locate animals and shared insights about Yellowstone's wildlife and ecosystem. We will spend a good amount of time here, stopping at different pullout areas to look for wildlife.
A quick stop at 132-foot (40 m) Tower Fall, one of Yellowstone's most iconic waterfalls, where Tower Creek plunges through a dramatic, forested canyon before meeting up with the Yellowstone River. Also a great restroom stop, as it has running water, as well as a gift shop and ice cream counter.
Mount Washburn
Marvel at the scenic views as we drive over Dunraven Pass and pass Mount Washburn, one of Yellowstone's prominent mountain peaks. You will see the rugged landscape and pass stands of "skeleton trees", dead and burnt tree trunks from the 1988 fires that still stand watch over the new growth forests.
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
Explore the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, famous for its dramatic yellow, pink, and orange canyon walls and spectacular views along the Yellowstone River. You will also be able to see the stunning 308-foot (94 m) Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River from Artist Point. Your guide will share the geology and history of the canyon while giving travelers time to enjoy the viewpoints and take photographs of this iconic Yellowstone landscape.
Norris Geyser Basin
Norris Geyser Basin is one of the hottest, most acidic, and most dynamic geothermal areas of Yellowstone. Here, you will walk along the boardwalk to experience colorful hot springs, steam vents, and active geysers while your guide explains the area's unique features and volcanic geology. Norris is also home to Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest active geyser. It reaches heights of up to 300 feet (92 m) (more than twice the height of Old Faithful's average), but Steamboat is infamously unpredictable, with eruption intervals ranging from days to decades.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
