2-Day Private Yellowstone Tour(Lower and Upper Loops w Iconic Sites) w Lunch

Day 1: Wildlife Upper Loop Tour with Lunch

1. Yellowstone National Park
   8h · Admission ticket not included
   America's first National Park - Our Adventure Guides will talk about the history, ecology, geology and much more as we travel throughout Yellowstone.
2. Lamar Valley
   8h
   For our wildlife tour, we spend the better part of the tour scanning the Serengeti of Yellowstone for grizzly and black bear, wolves, coyotes, eagles, badgers, bison, elk, pronghorn, moose, and many other animals. We provide spotting scopes and binoculars to assist with viewing and our trained adventure guide will be your personal guide as we identity the flora and fauna of Yellowstone.

Day 2: Lower Loop Geothermal Adventure with Lunch

1. Yellowstone National Park
   8h
   America's first National Park - Celebrating her 150th birthday!
2. Firehole Canyon Drive
   Pass by
   Firehole Canyon Drive is a 2-mile, one-way road off the Grand Loop south of Madison. The drive has a waterfall overlook and swimming area.
3. Lower Geyser Basin
   45m
   Along Fountain Paint Pot Trail you will see various hydrothermal features that are expressions of Yellowstone’s still active volcano. Within this geologic system, each type of thermal feature is represented. They can be grouped into two general categories—those with a great deal of water (hot springs and geysers) and those with limited water (mudpots and fumaroles). Despite their structural similarities, no two features are exactly alike.
4. Midway Geyser Basin
   45m
   Grand Prismatic Spring is located in the Midway Geyser Basin. It has the distinction of being the park's largest hot spring. It measures approximately 370 feet (112.8 m) in diameter and is over 121 feet (37 m ) deep. A description of this spring by fur trapper Osborne Russell in 1839 also makes it the earliest described thermal feature in Yellowstone that is definitely identifiable.
5. Upper Geyser Basin
   1h
   Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin in the southwest section of the park. The geyser-viewing area is the most accessible and visitor-friendly in the park with bench seating, a large parking lot, and a ranger station that tracks the time, height and length of an eruption to predict the next eruption.
6. Yellowstone Lake
   Pass by
   Situated at 7,733 feet (2,357 m) above sea level, Yellowstone Lake is the largest high elevation lake (above 7,000 feet / 2,134 m) in North America. It is roughly 20 miles (32.2 km) long and 14 miles (22.5 km) wide, with 141 miles (227 km) of shoreline and a surface area of 132 square miles (342 km2). Yellowstone Lake freezes over completely every winter in late December or early January, with ice thicknesses varying from a few inches to more than two feet. The lake usually thaws in late May or early June. Yellowstone Lake remains cold year-round, with an average water temperature of 41°F (5°C). Because of the extremely cold water, swimming is not recommended. Survival time is estimated to be only 20 to 30 minutes in water at this temperature.
7. Yellowstone Geysers - Mud Volcano Area
   1h
   Yellowstone itself is a volcano, and one of its most spectacular eruptions occurred 640,000 years ago. During the eruption, the land collapsed and left a large depression in the earth—the Yellowstone Caldera. This caldera filled with lava flows over hundreds and thousands of years creating the volcanic plateau that comprises much of the central part of the park.
8. Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
   45m
   The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River expresses the park's complex geologic history in dramatic colors and shapes. Puffs of steam mark hydrothermal features in the canyon's walls. The Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River add to the grandeur of the unique natural treasure.
9. Norris Geyser Basin
   1h
   Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most changeable thermal area in Yellowstone. We will explore many of the features you would see if you walked the 2 1/4 miles (3.6 km) of trails. Discover the location of the world's tallest active geyser, colorful hot springs, and microscopic life in one of the most extreme environments on earth.
10. Gibbon Falls
    15m
    Gibbon Falls drops 84 feet (0.3 m) over a remnant of the Yellowstone caldera rim. The caldera was created by a massive volcanic eruption approximately 640,000 years ago.
