1. Explore Mammoth Hot Springs, a remarkable landscape of steaming springs and cascading travertine terraces formed by Yellowstone's geothermal activity. You will walk through the thermal area with your guide while learning how mineral-rich water creates the distinctive terraces and constantly changing formations.

   30 Min.

2. Stop at 60-foot (18 m) Undine Falls for scenic views of Lava Creek cascading through a rugged canyon. You will have time to enjoy the waterfall and take photos.

   10 Min.

3. Lamar Valley has been called the Serengeti of the West, as it's one of Yellowstone's premier wildlife-viewing areas, with expansive views of open valleys and surrounding mountains. You will have time to watch for bison, elk, pronghorn, wolves, bears, and other wildlife while your guide helps locate animals and shared insights about Yellowstone's wildlife and ecosystem. We will spend a good amount of time here, stopping at different pullout areas to look for wildlife.

   1 Std.

4. A must-see wildlife stop, where mountain goats are frequently seen. From the roadside viewpoint, your guide will help you spot mountain goats high on the rugged cliff faces of Barronette Peak. We'll take time to scan the cliffs, look for goats, take photos, and enjoy the dramatic mountain scenery.

   20 Min.

5. A quick stop at 132-foot (40 m) Tower Fall, one of Yellowstone's most iconic waterfalls, where Tower Creek plunges through a dramatic, forested canyon before meeting up with the Yellowstone River. Also a great restroom stop, as it has running water, as well as a gift shop and ice cream counter.

6. Marvel at the scenic views as we drive over Dunraven Pass and pass Mount Washburn, one of Yellowstone's prominent mountain peaks. You will see the rugged landscape and pass stands of "skeleton trees", dead and burnt tree trunks from the 1988 fires that still stand watch over the new growth forests.

You will also be able to see the stunning 308-foot (94 m) Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River from Artist Point. Your guide will share the geology and history of the canyon while giving travelers time to enjoy the viewpoints and take photographs of this iconic Yellowstone landscape.

8. Norris Geyser Basin is one of the hottest, most acidic, and most dynamic geothermal areas of Yellowstone. Here, you will walk along the boardwalk to experience colorful hot springs, steam vents, and active geysers while your guide explains the area's unique features and volcanic geology. Norris is also home to Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest active geyser. It reaches heights of up to 300 feet (92 m) (more than twice the height of Old Faithful's average), but Steamboat is infamously unpredictable, with eruption intervals ranging from days to decades.

About Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park, across Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is widely seen as the first national park, a plateau of geysers, canyons and wildlife.

Yellowstone, established in 1872 and widely regarded as the first national park in the world, covers a high volcanic plateau mostly in north-western Wyoming. Beneath it lies a vast volcanic caldera that heats the ground and feeds more than ten thousand hot springs, geysers and steam vents. Old Faithful, which erupts about every ninety minutes, is the best-known geyser, and Grand Prismatic Spring is ringed with bands of orange, yellow and blue-green colour.
