• Yellowstone National Park - As the audio guides play commentary based on your GPS location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour routes to match your interests and schedule.

Alternatively, you can use our trip planners for suggested half, full, or multi-day itineraries.

Some of the many highlights are listed below;

• Grand Teton National Park - As the audio guides play commentary based on your GPS location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour routes to match your interests and schedule.

Alternatively, you can use our trip planners for suggested half, full, or multi-day itineraries.

Some of the many highlights are listed below;

• Fountain Paint Pot - If you want to see all four types of thermal features in one spot, make sure to stop at Fountain Paint Pot. Here you can see hot springs, geysers, mud pots, and fumaroles.

A larger car park and an easy 0.6-mile boardwalk loop make it very accessible for all.

• Lamar Valley - This wide, broad valley is a haven for serious wildlife watchers. Bison, elk, bears, wolves, antelopes, and otters are just a few of the species you might spot in this rich wildlife habitat.
• Mammoth Hot Springs - There are approximately 50 hot springs at Mammoth Hot Springs, divided into two terraces, Upper and Lower.

The springs are constantly changing and have built an impressive variety of travertine terraces, cascading pools, and sometimes colorful mounds.

There are boardwalks that allow you to get close, with excellent photo locations on the Lower Terrace. And there is a short driving loop to follow along through the Upper Terrace.

Liberty Cap is the most striking formation that stands like a guard for the area. It’s a tall, slender mound that is no longer connected to a hot water source.

Mammoth is also the location of many visitor services and the Visitor Center and Museum for this corner of the Park.

• Artists Paintpots - For just a short unpaved trail and boardwalk loop of just over 1 mile with 125 feet of elevation, Artist Paintpots sure packs a punch, with numerous hot springs, geysers, a fumarole, and of course mud pots.

Through the steam, notice the mud pots stained with iron oxide, creating a pretty pastel palette of colors any artist would be happy to work with.

As you follow the trail it slowly climbs to the top of the loop, which provides a great view back out over the thermal area.

• Old Faithful - Old Faithful is without a doubt the most famous geyser in the entire Park - and with good reason. Since we have been watching it, it’s erupted spectacularly every 60 - 90 minutes or so. So not quite on the hour as the myth suggests, but as the most predictable geyser in the Park, it is still close to being “nature’s timepiece”.
• Upper Geyser Basin - The largest and most concentrated of the geyser basins located in Yellowstone and home to Old Faithful, but there are another 150 geysers to visit in this basin too. Check in at the visitor center for prediction times for multiple geysers, and plan your route exploring the basin to try and time your visit to see a variety of eruptions.

Explore the 2-mile round trip paved path from Old Faithful Lodge to Morning Glory Pool, stopping at Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser, and Riverside Geyser along the way.

• Grand Prismatic Spring - Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone.

Its colorful microbial mats of red, orange, yellow, and green around the edges of the pool contrast with the deep blue center of the pool.

There’s an extensive boardwalk that allows you to see the colors up close, but there can often be steam blowing off the spring that might cloud any photos.

See it from above on the Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, just south of Midway Geyser Basin. Enter the small Fairy Falls Parking lot and walk the 0.6 miles with a slight elevation of 100 feet to the overlook.

Midway Geyser Basin / Grand Prismatic Spring is only a short 7-mile drive from Old Faithful, so it’s a natural segue for your day.

It’s also one of the most photographed, and busy, spots in the National Park, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds.

• Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - Incredible forces have carved a 20-mile, up to 1200-foot deep canyon along the path of the Yellowstone River.

The carving action of the Yellowstone River has also created 2 magnificent waterfalls inside the canyon.

There are 2 aspects to see both the Upper and Lower Falls from, with multiple viewpoints for each.

You will want to take in as many of these different views as your time allows.

• Boiling River - Boiling River is one of only two areas where you can soak in Yellowstone. It is closed in Spring/early Summer due to the fast current and dangerous high water. There is no lifeguard and some microorganisms live in the warm water, so be sure and check current conditions before you go. Please note you can only soak in the river and not in the hot spring.
• Menor’s Ferry Historical Trail - Menor’s Ferry was a cable ferry operated by its namesake William Menor, and for a quarter-century starting in the late 1800s, was the only way to get across the Snake River without traveling for miles in either direction.
  A working replica of the ferry has been rebuilt along with the general store he operated. It’s filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the time. A fun short stop.
• Moose Wilson Road - Drive slowly along the road connecting the town of Moose and Teton Village, the accommodation base for the Jackson Hole Ski Area.

Keep your eyes peeled for both black and grizzly bears, moose, and deer through the trees and marshy habitats. The Laurance S Rockefeller Preserve facility is also found along this road.

This road is closed to RVs and longer trailers (23 feet+).

• Mormon Row Historic District - Mormons were among the earliest settlers in the valley of Jackson Hole and they worked cooperatively, at one stage 27 homesteads clustered together. To this day water drains through the irrigation ditches dug by hand.

The two most photogenic structures that remain are barns that belonged to two Moulton brothers on neighboring properties. The perfect photo lines up the barns, with the Grand Teton peaks in the background.

• Signal Mountain Summit Road - It’s just a short 5-mile drive from Teton Park Road to the top of Signal Mountain.

This is the easiest way to access an elevated viewpoint inside the valley that is Jackson Hole. There are two excellent viewpoints at the summit that provide perspective on how vast the valley is, and how it appears to be completely ringed by mountain ranges.

RVs and trailers are prohibited on this road.

• Jenny Lake - Jenny Lake is the most popular and busiest part of the park. The lake was formed as a depression caused by giant glaciers that once sat above it. Take a ride across Jenny Lake by boat (tickets available at the dock) and then enjoy the short walk to Hidden Falls.
• West Thumb Geyser Basin - Located on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, the West Thumb Geyser Basin can be less congested than other areas of the Park and offers some unique thermal features including Fishing Cone Hot Spring.

While tiny, it was a landmark for years after a famous incident, that happened while expedition member Walter Trumbum was reeling a fish onshore. With the final swing, the fish unhooked and fell right into the spring. “For a moment it darted about with wonderful rapidity, as if seeking an outlet. Then it came to the top, dead, and literally boiled.”

It became quite the attraction until some were badly burned trying to replicate and eventually prohibited as an unhealthy and dangerous practice.

Another of the highlights along the trail is Abyss Pool, noted for its depth of 53 feet which you can imagine continuing forever along its sloped walls through a dazzling shade of blue.

Large wildlife, like elk, are often seen wandering between the hot pools and geysers at West Thumb.
