Trip Info

This 2-day private Yellowstone tour is the total experience! We will tour Grand Teton National Park, the geysers of the lower-loop and wildlife of the upper loop in the "American Serengeti".  

Pick up at a local Jackson Hole hotel in our raised roof sightseeing van, for a once in a lifetime adventure to Yellowstone! This 2-day private tour is often the highlight of our guests' Jackson Hole vacation.  

​We will depart Jackson Hole at an agreed upon time.  With a private tour, you tell us when the morning begins.  On our way out of Jackson, we will travel through Grand Teton National Park seeing some of the best viewpoints and learn the stories and history of this amazing park! We will take a quick pit-stop at Jackson Lake Lodge (a National Historic Landmark) and you will see why it is special. 

​We will then continue north, entering Yellowstone.  Enjoy your time in this huge park in the most efficient manner possible.  There will be no guessing what to see or where to park. Your guide will time out Old Faithful, show you the must-see highlights, and have you experience the science of Yellowstone on a deeper level. 

​Throughout the day, we will explore the Lower Loop including West Thumb Geyser Basin, Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic, Norris Geyser Basin as we make our way to the Lamar Valley to stay in Cooke City, MT for the night.  Considered one of the coolest small towns in America. 

Day 2 we will look for wolves, bears, and big game leaving the Lamar Valley and continue the lower loop seeing the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the wildlife of Hayden Valley and Yellowstone Lake, the largest natural lake in Wyoming!

With our professional spotting scopes and binoculars, get the most out of the world-class wildlife within Yellowstone.  With your local guide, you can spot bears, moose, wapiti (elk), pronghorn antelope, and mule deer at any time. 

​Our guides' passion for Yellowstone is contagious.  You will learn how to spot, observe and identify the wildlife, plants and thermal features for a rich experience.  Check out what our guests have said about this tour.  Let's go make memories!
