What to expect
Yellowstone National Park

Tower Fall
This picturesque waterfall in the northern region of Yellowstone National Park is named for the rock pinnacles at the brink of the falls. Years of erosion is actually moving the falls slowly upriver, although not fast enough to see it migrate in your lifetime. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
Yellowstone River
The Yellowstone River originates in the Absaroka Range at the Continental Divide and flows north through Yellowstone National Park and Paradise Valley before heading east across the plains of Montana and eventually flowing into the Missouri River. It is a large-volume river, fed by several tributaries on its journey eastward. The river provides habitat for many species in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and is known for its excellent trout population. Our safari makes a stop here in search of wildlife.

Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
Slough Creek
Slough Creek is a tributary of the Lamar River and originates in the Absaroka Range. The watershed supports a variety of flora and fauna.

Shoshone River
Shoshone Canyon is a gorge cut through Rattlesnake Mountain by the wearing action of the Shoshone River.
