From West Yellowstone: Lower Loop Active Van Tour

Watch wildlife with high-powered spotting scopes and binoculars from the comfort of a van with large windows. Learn all about the area's history and nature as you go.

Get picked up at 7:00 AM at your lobby and head out alongside the Madison River. Watch the sky change colors as the morning light hits the mountains.

Enjoy a light morning snack and a hot drink of coffee, tea, or cocoa. Hike for just over a mile to the overlook at Grand Prismatic Hot Spring. Marvel at Yellowstone's most photographed hot spring.

Next, head for the Historic Old Faithful Inn. See the Old Faithful Geyser erupt and explore the historic building. After the eruption, head toward the Continental Divide where water flows to both the Gulf and the Pacific Ocean.

Then, take a stroll around the boardwalks at West Thumb Geyser Basin. After viewing hot springs and geysers, stop at a scenic view of Yellowstone Lake for a picnic lunch.

The next stop is the Mud Volcano area where we take a short stroll to see the bubbling mud and Dragon's Mouth. View wildlife in the Hayden Valley along the Yellowstone River.

Move onto the final stop at Artist Point to view the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone's Lower Falls. Watch the waterfall plunging over 300 feet in a canyon of bright reds and yellows.
