Itinerary
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.
Upon passing through Yellowstone’s South Gate, you will immediately be greeted by a change in scenery as we move into the Yellowstone caldera where volcanic geology is on full display. Before too long, you will begin to see the first signs of geothermal activity by way of steaming vents creating vapor trails. We will then arrive to the parks primary geyser basins and most famous feature, Old Faithful. We will spend the next few hours exploring boardwalks in various geyser basins. We will then move to the Canyon area. Here we will see some of the finest scenery Yellowstone has to offer including giant waterfalls and one extremely unique canyon. Short hike options are plentiful. Hayden valley and Yellowstone Lake highlight the remaining time in Yellowstone. Be on the lookout for wildlife as this portion offers some of the best viewing opportunities. The return trip travels back through Grand Teton National Park en route to your Jackson accommodation.
