Description
2 Day Deep Dive (Lower Loop)
If you have never been to the park before and want to maximize your time this is a great option for your family! This two day tour will feature all of the highlights of The Best of Yellowstone Tour but at a much more in-depth level. Over the course of two days we will take a deep, very in depth tour of Yellowstone National Park. A 2 Day safari gives us opportunities for multiple game drives during peak wildlife activity periods when both predator and pray are commonly seen grazing, and interacting with each other. Day 1 we will focus on the geysers, hot springs, wildlife, and the rare hydrothermal activity found inside the park. Day 2 we will focus on wildlife viewing in the Hayden valley and Yellowstone Lake area 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 rim of the canyon, Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls, lush meadows, conifer forests of Douglas fir, several backcountry bubbling mud pots, Lilly pad lake, and a lake that is stained lime green because of the amount of sulphur that’s being degassed. In addition we will go inside two historic hotels that opened in 1891 and 1904. On both days we will stop for a provided scenic picnic style lunch at a scenic lunch spot! Throughout our two day tour we will visit several hidden hot springs and geysers that exist in this unique landscape. We will spend ample time in prime wildlife viewing areas to observe the rare ecological dynamics of the parks grizzly bears, wolf packs, moose, and bison herds that call the 2.2 million acres of Yellowstone National Park home.
This 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.
