2-Day Private Tour In Yellowstone(Lower And Upper Loops W Iconic Sites) W Lunch

Day 1: Wildlife Upper Loop Tour with Lunch

Pass By: Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
America's first National Park - Our Adventure Guides will talk about the history, ecology, geology and much more as we travel throughout Yellowstone.

Stop At: Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park, WY
For our wildlife tour, we spend the better part of the tour scanning the Serengeti of Yellowstone for grizzly and black bear, wolves, coyotes, eagles, badgers, bison, elk, pronghorn, moose, and many other animals. We provide spotting scopes and binoculars to assist with viewing and our trained adventure guide will be your personal guide as we identity the flora and fauna of Yellowstone.

Day 2: Lower Loop Geothermal Adventure with Lunch

Pass By: Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
America's first National Park - Celebrating her 150th birthday!

Stop At: Norris Geyser Basin, Grand Loop Road at Norris, Yellowstone National Park, WY
Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most changeable thermal area in Yellowstone. We will explore many of the features you would see if you walked the 2 1/4 miles (3.6 km) of trails. Discover the location of the world's tallest active geyser, colorful hot springs, and microscopic life in one of the most extreme environments on earth.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River expresses the park's complex geologic history in dramatic colors and shapes. Puffs of steam mark hydrothermal features in the canyon's walls. The Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River add to the grandeur of the unique natural treasure.
Duration: 45 minutes

Pass By: Hayden Valley, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190
Hayden Valley is a large, sub-alpine valley in Yellowstone National Park straddling the Yellowstone River between Yellowstone Falls and Yellowstone Lake. The valley floor along the river is an ancient lake bed from a time when Yellowstone Lake was much larger.

Stop At: Yellowstone Geysers - Mud Volcano Area, Yellowstone National Park, WY
Yellowstone itself is a volcano, and one of its most spectacular eruptions occurred 640,000 years ago. During the eruption, the land collapsed and left a large depression in the earth—the Yellowstone Caldera. This caldera filled with lava flows over hundreds and thousands of years creating the volcanic plateau that comprises much of the central part of the park.

Here at Mud Volcano you are close to one of the resurgent domes. The hills you see east of here comprise Sour Creek Dome. Resurgent domes are areas of active ground deformation, where the land moves up or down with the fluctuation of the magma chamber below. Scientists monitor these domes closely for information about ongoing volcanic activity.

Not surprisingly, many of the park’s geysers, hot springs, mudpots, and fumaroles are also found near or within the caldera.
Duration: 1 hour

Pass By: Yellowstone Lake, Grand Loop Road Between Fishing Bridge and Grant Village, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190
Situated at 7,733 feet (2,357 m) above sea level, Yellowstone Lake is the largest high elevation lake (above 7,000 feet / 2,134 m) in North America. It is roughly 20 miles (32.2 km) long and 14 miles (22.5 km) wide, with 141 miles (227 km) of shoreline and a surface area of 132 square miles (342 km2). Yellowstone Lake freezes over completely every winter in late December or early January, with ice thicknesses varying from a few inches to more than two feet. The lake usually thaws in late May or early June. Yellowstone Lake remains cold year-round, with an average water temperature of 41°F (5°C). Because of the extremely cold water, swimming is not recommended. Survival time is estimated to be only 20 to 30 minutes in water at this temperature.

Stop At: Old Faithful, Center Loop Road, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190
Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin in the southwest section of the park. The geyser-viewing area is the most accessible and visitor-friendly in the park with bench seating, a large parking lot, and a ranger station that tracks the time, height and length of an eruption to predict the next eruption.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Midway Geyser Basin, Grand Loop Road Between Madison & Old Faithful Village, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190
Grand Prismatic Spring is located in the Midway Geyser Basin. It has the distinction of being the park's largest hot spring. It measures approximately 370 feet (112.8 m) in diameter and is over 121 feet (37 m ) deep. A description of this spring by fur trapper Osborne Russell in 1839 also makes it the earliest described thermal feature in Yellowstone that is definitely identifiable.
Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Lower Geyser Basin, Midway Between Madison and Old Faithful Village on Grand Loop Road, Yellowstone National Park, WY
Along Fountain Paint Pot Trail you will see various hydrothermal features that are expressions of Yellowstone’s still active volcano. Within this geologic system, each type of thermal feature is represented. They can be grouped into two general categories—those with a great deal of water (hot springs and geysers) and those with limited water (mudpots and fumaroles). Despite their structural similarities, no two features are exactly alike.
Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Gibbon Falls, Along the Grand Loop Road, Yellowstone National Park, WY
Gibbon Falls drops 84 feet (0.3 m) over a remnant of the Yellowstone caldera rim. The caldera was created by a massive volcanic eruption approximately 640,000 years ago.
