The highlights of Yellowstone in a nutshell. America's first Park is famous for it's waterfalls, wildlife, and of course, geysers and this tour was created to give you a taste of it all. You'll start the day heading for geyser country with our experienced guide, stopping for wildlife, photography and a few guided geyser walks before arriving at the tried and true favorite Old Faithful. You'll have the opportunity to explore the Old Faithful area and have lunch before heading over the Continental Divide and on to Yellowstone Lake. From there, we'll tour through the often wildlife filled Hayden Valley as we approach the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the beautiful Upper and Lower Falls before a relaxing drive back to West Yellowstone.
