Two Day Deep Dive Summary
TWO DAY DEEP DIVE SUMMARY:
If you have never been to the park before and want to maximize your time outside with less driving than other tour than this is a great option for your family! This two day tour will feature all of the highlights of The Best of Yellowstone/ lower loop but at a slower pace to allow for more time spent viewing wildlife, geyser gazing, and less time driving. Over the course of two days we will take a deep, very in depth tour of Yellowstone National Parks lower loop. This two day tour gives us opportunities for multiple game drives during peak wildlife activity when both predator and prey are commonly seen grazing and potentially interacting with each other.
Yellowstone contains the worlds largest concentration of geothermal features and over half of the worlds geysers! Yellowstone National Park has the largest concentration of mammals found anywhere in North America. On Day 1 we will start with an early morning game drive through the Hayden Valley and eastern shore of Yellowstone Lake looking for bear and wolves. Then a fun family friendly hike amongst Upper Yellowstone Falls before lunch. After lunch we will explore the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone by going on a mild/ medium hike that is ranked as one of the Best Hikes in any national park by Outside Magazine. This hike will go right along the south rim of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone which has been made famous from Thomas Morans painting inn 1871 that helped catapult the area into National Park Status in 1872, , Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls, lush meadows, mixed conifer forests of douglas fir and lodgepole pine, severaral backcountry mud pots, Lilly Pad Lake, and Clear Lake that is stained lime green because of geo thermal activity lying underneath the lake!
On Day 2 we will focus on the geysers, hot springs, wildlife, and the rare geothermal activity found inside the park. On this day we will perfectly time and view Old Faithful Geyser erupt, hike to the overlook of Grand Prismatic Spring, have lunch in the world famous Old Faithful Inn (the wilderness lodge at Disney World was modeled after this hotel), and take an extraordinary family friendly mainly flat 3.5 mile loop hike that will get us off the beaten path to view geysers and hot springs that are seldomly seen by most park visitors as well as some of the most classic/ famous geysers in the park such as: Grotto Geyser, Riverside Geyser, Grand Geyser, and Morning Glory Pool.
Over the course of two days we will go visit two very historic hotels: The Lake Hotel (oldest hotel in any national park; opened into 1891) and the world famous Old Faithful Inn opened in 1904. On both days we will stop for a provided picnic style lunch at a scenic picnic table! or inside one these two classic hotels depending on the weather Throughout our two day tour we will visit countless hidden hot springs and geysers. We will spend lots of time searching for bear, wolves, moose, bison herds, coyotes, elk, and many other species to observe them interacting in Yellowstones prime wildlife viewing habitats. Yellowstone National Park is one of the only places remaining where you can observe these ancient ecological functions playing out on the landscape in live view.
This Two Day Tour option cuts down on our time spent driving in a car and maximizes our time outside of a vehicle! We will take several easy walks and hikes (just let us know your ability range/ hiking desires) over the course of this 2 Day Deep Dive tour of Yellowstone National Park.
