- Upper Loop: This is the tour we call the Serengeti of North America. It isn’t IF we see wildlife, it is usually how many we see. This tour is great for seeing animals like bison, elk, goats, and if you’re lucky, bear or wolf! Though wildlife takes the main stage, the side hustles of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and its waterfalls, stunning peaks, the Lamar Valley, Blacktail Plateau, Mammoth Hot Springs, the Gardiner & Madison River, and Obsidian Cliff offer plenty else to see.
- Lower Loop: What we dub as the “Google Image” of Yellowstone National Park, you will see all the main attractions and signature moves of the Park. Visit the most iconic attractions including Artists Paint Pots, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Hayden Valley, Yellowstone Lake, the Continental Divide, Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, and much more.
