The details...
-
This is a terrific opportunity to explore Yellowstone National Park in a day, touring Yellowstone's volcano, while learning more about Yellowstone's wildlife, history, human culture, and geology.
-
This is primarily a road-based tour, with short walks to overlooks and on boardwalks to catch the highlights along Yellowstone's Grand Loop.
-
We will look for wildlife, visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Hayden Valley, Old Faithful, waterfalls, geyser basins and other special places to get a complete sense of the complexity of Yellowstone.
-
At nearly 3500 square miles (~9000 square kilometers), take the guesswork out of knowing where to stop, or how to time your day. Leave the guiding to us!
-
Your personal guide is a local who has spent years (or in some cases a lifetime!) exploring Yellowstone, and we love to share our intimate knowledge of the landscape.
Included:
-
Expert interpretation from your personal, private guide

Door-to-door transportation from Gardiner, MT or Mammoth Hot Springs
