Mobile ticket
This Active Van Tour is a great way to see Yellowstone National Park beginning in the fun gateway town of West Yellowstone. The early morning part of the tour explores wildlife haunts in the famous Shadow Canyon of the Madison River. This area is home to bear and elk.
Later we hike to an overlook of the famous Grand Prismatic Hot Springs. If you don't feel like walking we find a safe, scenic spot for you to wait for the group near the van.
Next we explore the Old Faithful area, including some time at the famous Old Faithful Inn.
We continue over the continental divide at Isa Lake and down to the West Thumb Geyser Basin on Yellowstone Lake for a view of some spectacular lakeside thermal pools.
Continuing our drive along Yellowstone Lake we arrive in the Hayden Valley where big herds of bison roam.
Finally, we arrive at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to view the canyon and the amazing falls (one is almost 200 feet tall!). The day concludes back at West Yellowstone.

5.00We had a charming guide, Michael, who was lots of fun and very knowledgeable. Lots of wildlife and all the promised stops plus a bonus! We had 2 more days in the Park and Michael gave us some terrific ideas for backcountry hikes.
Awesome weekend

5.00Austin was a good, very patient, and pleasant guide. This tour is a great overview for newbies. Got lots of great pics 🙌🏼 Lunch was a basic but tasty turkey sandwich plus a goodie bag of snacks for the day. Glad we did it. Was nice to not have to figure out all the stops. Being a passenger with the freedom to just relax and enjoy is always nice 😊 Would’ve liked more ‘Class A’ (I..e. flushing😂) toilets but that is part of the wilderness experience, isn’t it? Saw plenty of bison, elk, and birds. Overall, a beautiful day 🤩
Good escort

5.00Austin was calm without rushing through the program. He spoke an adequate amount of words and allowed patrons to sit back and enjoy the stops.
