Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Our Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone hike combines one of the Park’s most spectacular attractions with a serene journey through forests, meadows, lakes, and mud pots. The day starts by enjoying Artist Point, one of the most phenomenal waterfall views in N. America. Then we set off on the trail for more awe-inspiring views of this uniquely colored canyon. We escape the crowds as our route continues through a fragrant forest that opens up to picturesque meadows and lakes. Finally, we reach a backcountry geyser basin, yet another zone. Here we enjoy the rare pleasure of viewing mud pots and fumaroles without the boardwalks. We'll find a pleasant spot to sit and fill up on a delicious picnic lunch prepared by your guide. This trail system offers the flexibility to make this hike anywhere between 3.5 to 8 miles, with a couple variations in between. All options will offer the highlights. Let your guide know what your goals are for the day and they will pick the best route for you.
