This all-day experience will take you into Yellowstone National Park from the west side with professional guides who are approved by the National Park Service. Your guide will lead your group to the park’s most informative stops and fill the day with engaging commentary. Along the way you will learn about Yellowstone’s history, its wildlife and natural wonders, and about the many hydrothermal features that make the park unique.
The guides are local and passionate about Yellowstone, and they aim to create an informative, well-paced day. You will be shown highlights on the west side of the park and given context about geology, ecology and park management as you move between viewpoints. The tour departs daily from either Big Sky, MT or West Yellowstone, MT, and you will be returned to your original starting location at the end of the day.
