Itinerary
Day 1: Jackson Hole
After pick up at Jackson Hole accommodation, take in the glittering waters of Yellowstone Lake on a hike to Storm Point, a relatively flat loop that leads to a stunning vista of the largest lake above 7,000 feet in North America. The hike begins at Indian Pond, a favourite locale for bison, and continues through a lodge pole pine forest to a bluff overlooking the picturesque shore of this hydrothermal fed lake. Before completing your loop, walk past enormous boulders, which are home to a colony of yellow-bellied marmots. If you are lucky, you may see one basking in the sun. From here, jump back in the van for a drive to Old Faithful and explore the diverse array of geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin.
Day 2: Yellowstone National Park
Kick-start your day with one of the most beautiful hikes in the park, a hike to the summit of Mt. Washburn at over 10,000 feet. The trail to the summit travels through picturesque subalpine parkland where wildflowers cover the grass and bighorn sheep are sometimes seen grazing in nearby meadows. Enjoy spectacular views of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone – a giant rift in a landscape of forested hills - and Yellowstone Lake, the Teton Range, and Electric Peak. From here, you will drive to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone for a short stroll out to Artist Point for phenomenal waterfall views.
Day 3: Jackson Hole
Your final day’s hike takes you through classic Yellowstone meadows and lodgepole pine forests to Fairy Falls, a 200-foot waterfall plunging off a pine-studded cliff. Soak up the sights and sounds of Fairy Falls before your tour ends with a stop at the Grand Prismatic overlook. The Grand Prismatic is the largest hot spring in the United States and one of the most iconic features in the park. It is a great way to close out your Yellowstone adventure before a relaxing shuttle ride back to Jackson where your trip comes to an end.
