    Itinerary

     This tour is designed to maximize your time in Yellowstone. It starts at the airport at about 6.30 a.m. on the first day, and you can end in Salt Lake, from Yellowstone, about 72 hours later. In other words, you travel up to Yellowstone on the first day. The second and third days are spent touring the entire park, and on the third evening you start making you way to Salt Lake, an hour or so after you get out of the park. You will spend the night in a hotel in Idaho, and then have the opportunity to get back to Salt Lake as early as 6.40 a.m. on the fourth morning.
    Day 1  -  Flight from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City  -  About an hour
     Sorry! There is an early morning start today, as you will need to get yourself to the Las Vegas airport - where the tour starts - for a flight at approximately 6.30 a.m. We try and use an airline that does not charge a checked luggage fee, but if this is not possible, you will need to pay that fee. There will always be a checked luggage fee on the weekends.

    You will get to Salt Lake in time for the 10 a.m. ride to Yellowstone.

    If you feel like sleeping in, there is an option of taking a flight later in the day to Salt Lake. If you did that you would spend the night in Salt Lake, in the downtown area, and extend the tour by a day, taking a shuttle to Yellowstone one day later. You could then explore the famous Temple Square and surrounds. You can order that option when you order the tour itself.
    Day 1  -  Salt Lake City to West Yellowstone  -  Between 5.25 hours and 6.75 hours

    You will take a shuttle through northern Utah, into Idaho, and eventually Montana, before arriving in West Yellowstone. There are stops at several towns along the way. The vehicle is generally a mini bus.

    Please note that today is an unescorted part of the tour. What this means is that although you obviously have a bus driver with you at all times, there is no tour guide providing a running commentary the way there is when you are in Yellowstone.
     When you reach West Yellowstone, you will be taken to Yellowstone Motel, where you will be staying. After checking in you can explore the town, take a walk through the forest into Yellowstone, go to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center (a must see) or check out a movie at the IMAX.

     A sack lunch is provided today. You can select lunch options when you order the tour.
    Day 2  -  Yellowstone upper loop tour  -  About 8 hours

    The route that the tour takes will depend on possible road closures in the park, as well as the time of year, but it will be something like the following.

    There is going to be a lot to see and do. We'll head out of West Yellowstone towards Madison Junction, where the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers meet to form the Madison River. Turning left (north) we'll make for Norris Geyser Basin. Along the way we'll stop briefly at Gibbon Falls.

    Although not as well known as the other geyser basins, Norris is the most thermally active part of Yellowstone. It is divided into two separate areas: Porcelain Basin and Back Basin.

    Map
    The next stop is Mammoth Hot Springs, headquarters of the park, and home to a fascinating array of weird rock shapes, bright colors and sizzling hot springs. Elk are generally plentiful in this area, wandering around the old park buildings, and, if you're lucky, you might even see a whole herd.

    You can stroll through the ever changing terraces at Mammoth, admiring the travertine creations and hot springs.
    Map
    Map
    Leaving Mammoth we will travel towards Tower Roosevelt, which is where the road to the park's north east entrance, through the Lamar Valley, is. There is almost always wildlife to be seen in this area, even bears!
     At Tower Junction we will branch off the main upper loop road, and head through the Lamar Valley, towards the north east entrance to Yellowstone. This is a particularly beautiful part of the park, and where the keen wolf watchers are generally to be found.

     Everyone wants to see a bear in the wild at Yellowstone, and the trip from Tower Junction to Tower Falls is one of the best places to do so. The spring can be a great time to go looking for bears, as you have the opportunity of seeing mothers with their new born cubs. Tower Falls is an impressive water fall.
    Map
    Map
    Assuming that it is open, the road from Tower Falls to Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone towers up into the sky as it crosses the Dunraven Pass at almost 9000 feet. We then drop down to Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

    Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is normally visited on our Lower Yellowstone Loop tour, and not this tour. Depending on the number of people on this tour who have not seen it, and how late it is, we may take the opportunity of checking out the area. The Yellowstone River has carved an impressive canyon through the rocks, over which two falls drop. The Lower Falls is over twice the size of Niagara Falls! It is in this area that you can catch a glimpse of the yellowish tinge to the rocks, from which the Yellowstone River got its name, but at a different location. We'll check out the canyon and falls from a number of different locations. You get so close to the Upper Falls that you almost feel like you can reach out and touch the thundering water. Don't!

    If there is time, other areas along the route that we may visit include Obsidian Cliff, Virginia Cascade and Undine Falls.

    After a long, fun-filled day, it is time to return to West Yellowstone.
     You are on your own for dinner and will spend the night in the same place.
    Day 3
     A sack lunch is included today, which you can enjoy on the road.
    Day 3  -  Yellowstone lower loop tour  -  About 8 hours
    Map
    Map
    The roads running through Yellowstone make up a massive figure of eight. The lower loop of the figure of eight comprises most of the thermal features that are to be seen in Yellowstone, including, of course, Old Faithful!

    From West Yellowstone we'll follow the Madison River to Madison Junction. At Madison Junction we will turn right, or south, and travel along the Firehole River which runs through Yellowstone's thermal areas. The Firehole is famous amongst anglers for its pristine beauty and selection of brown, brook and rainbow trout. Depending on the time of the year, this area is often teeming with wildlife. With any luck you will see bison, elk, Trumpeter Swans and other animals and birds. A special treat in the spring is the baby bison calves.

    Map
    The first main thermal area we will be visiting is the Lower Geyser Basin, and Fountain Paint Pots. There is a boardwalk system running around and through the Fountain Paint Pots area, and it is a great place to go for a stroll, if the bison haven't got there first! Apart from the paint pots, there is also a selection of other thermal features in the area, including a number of geysers, one or other of which almost always seems to be erupting.
     The next stop is the Midway Geyser Basin, home to Grand Prismatic Spring - one of the largest anywhere in the world - as well as Excelsior Geyser, now dormant, but discharging thousands of gallons of water every minute.

    Map
    It is a short drive to the Upper Geyser Basin, home of Old Faithful, the world's best known and most reliable gusher. There is also so much more to the area than just Old Faithful. Old Faithful Inn, a wonderful old building - recently renovated - is located there - and a system of boardwalks will take you around the various other geysers in the area.

    The road from Old Faithful passes over the Continental Divide twice, on its way to West Thumb, a geyser basin right on the shores of the incredibly blue Yellowstone Lake.

    Yellowstone Lake is off to the east as we make the trip up to Fishing Bridge. From there we head through the Hayden Valley, following the Yellowstone River, up to Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. On the way we will pass Mud Volcano.

    The Hayden Valley is known for its wildlife, particularly large herds of bison at certain times of the year. It is also an excellent location to look for grizzly bears, especially in the spring and early summer when they may be preying on newborn bison and elk cubs.
    The Yellowstone River runs through the Hayden Valley on a Yellowstone tour.
     The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is an unexpected treat amongst the thermal wonders. The Yellowstone River has carved an impressive canyon through the rocks, over which two falls drop. The Lower Falls is over twice the size of Niagara Falls! It is in this area that you can catch a glimpse of the yellowish tinge to the rocks, from which the Yellowstone River got its name, but at a different location.

     It is now time to go back to West Yellowstone.
    Day 3  -  West Yellowstone to Salt Lake City, overnighting in Rexburg  -  321 mi / 516.49 km  -  About 14 hours, 30 minutes
    Map

    The shuttle back to Salt Lake City departs at about 6 p.m. this evening. You will drive through Montana, before crossing into Idaho, and spending the night in a small town called Rexburg. The hotel is included in the tour price.

    Tomorrow morning, you can depart from Rexburg at various times, to return to Salt Lake. Please note that this is an unescorted part of the tour. What this means is that although you obviously have a bus driver with you at all times, there is no tour guide providing a running commentary the way there was when you were in Yellowstone.

    The shuttle to Salt Lake this morning makes several stops along the way. You can choose from several departure times from Rexburg.
