Summer Yellowstone and Grand Teton Multi Day Tour

Day 1: Grand Teton to Old Faithful

Please Note:  This is just an example of a three day itinerary that has worked extremely well in the past.  Let us know your interests and we will craft the perfect itinerary for your group. ......................................................................

Today we depart the town of Jackson, WY early to take advantage of the early morning hours, where wildlife are the most active.  Explore wildlife hot spots with your experienced naturalist guide as you search for moose along the Snake River, elk beneath the Teton Range, and black bears in the conifer forest.  After a morning of wildlife watching and learning about the incredible geology of Grand Teton National Park, we head north, entering the worlds first National Park.  We’ll tour Yellowstone’s famous geyser basins before retiring to the town of Gardiner, MT for the evening.

Day 2: Yellowstone's Northern Range

We start our 2nd day along the Madison River searching for elk, waterfowl, and other wildlife.  Heading north, our next destination is a walk through the Mammoth Terraces and historic Fort Yellowstone.  The US Military built this campus starting in the late 1800’s before management turned over to the National Park Service in 1919.  It’s not uncommon for elk to be active throughout the grounds so keep your camera ready!

Weather depending, we’ll break for lunch in the famous Lamar Valley, where wolves were successfully reintroduced in 1995.  This wildlife hotspot is also famous for its massive bison herds, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, birds of prey and other wildlife species.

Tonight we retire to the rugged mountain town of Silvergate, MT, just outside the National Park’s NE boundary, surrounded by the Beartooth Mountain Range.

Day 3 Yellowstone's Lamar Valley, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and return to Jackson Hole

We’ll start our day with sunrise in the Lamar Valley before climbing over Dunraven Pass, scanning for bears and bighorn sheep.  At the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, we have opportunities for short hikes and photographs of the 308 foot Lower Falls, the largest waterfall in the park.

We’ll then head south along Yellowstone Lake, one of the seven largest high elevation lakes in the world.  The lakeside hot springs of West Thumb Geyser Basin await us for one photography opportunity for thermal features.  In the afternoon we return to Jackson hole for one more afternoon enjoying Grand Teton National Park.  Our tour concludes at the lodging of your choice in Jackson.
