This PRIVATE tour is uniquely designed to keep us outside as much as possible so we minimize our time spent in the car. Most tours inside Yellowstone require several hours of driving in between stops but NOT this one! This tour will focus on the west side/ Old faithful area of the park to view as many geysers, hot springs, animals, and waterfalls as possible. This area contains the highest concentration of hot springs and geysers out of any place in the world. It also happens to contain a healthy population of rare wildlife found no where else in the continuous United States such as: bison, grizzly bears,and wolves. We will go on a series of mild to moderate walks/ hikes/ boardwalks through out the day to view this breath taking landscape that brings rare geology and ecology together! We will stop midday to enjoy a peaceful lunch at a quiet and scenic location within Yellowstone National Park. The provided lunch comes from a local deli in Big Sky, MT.
