This comprehensive tour focuses on the the major highlights of Yellowstone’s Lower Loop route. This can be a tour that is mostly vehicle-based on Yellowstone’s extensive road system and is mild in terms of physical activity. If you are interested in a more active trip, we can emphasize more time spent outside the car walking on Yellowstone’s famed boardwalk systems and short hikes. Want to see Yellowstone's most iconic features, with an expert naturalist as your driver and guide, then come hit the road with us! Our staff is composed of guides that have an extraordinary passion for wildlife and nature. All of our guides have a minimum of 10 years experience. We strive to be different than the rest by giving out clients access to the knowledge of our elite guides. We guarantee that in any trip with us, you will see far more than you could on your own. You will walk away with far more understanding of the landscapes, wildlife, geology, history, ecosystem, etc. of Yellowstone and beyond.
Your guide will greet you with coffee and a light breakfast at 6 am (earlier or later possible) at your hotel or accommodation. You will then begin the northward drive through Grand Teton en route to Yellowstone. Usually, this amounts to about 2 hours. Vistas are incredible in the morning light and you will see some of the best on this drive. Timing is good to catch wildlife during this twilight time.
