Yellowstone Two Night Three Day Air Tour From Seattle
|
Itinerary
Day 1 - Flight from Seattle to Bozeman - About 1 hour 45 minutes
| | This tour starts at the Seattle airport. Please make sure you get there in plenty of time for your flight. Also, please note that the airline has a checked luggage fee, which you will need to pay. |
Day 1 - Bozeman airport to Gardiner - 88 mi / 141.59 km - About 90 minutes
Map | One of our guides will pick you up at the Bozeman airport and transport you to Yellowstone's north entrance, just outside the small town of Gardiner, Montana. The drive is scenic once we leave the Interstate, and follow the Yellowstone River south. There are often elk and pronghorn to be seen as we get closer to Yellowstone. |
Day 1 - Yellowstone National Park! - About 8 hours
| | The roads running through Yellowstone make up a massive figure of eight, and on this tour we'll be driving around the entire figure of eight, which makes up the Grand Loop Road! We'll enter the park through the famous Roosevelt Arch. Pronghorn are occasionally in this area. Our plan is to stop whenever we see anything of interest, and there are lots of interesting sights to see! |
| | The first main destination is Mammoth Hot Springs, headquarters of the park, and home to a fascinating array of weird rock shapes, bright colors and sizzling hot springs. Elk are generally plentiful in this area, wandering around the old park buildings, and, if you're lucky, you might even see a whole herd.
You can stroll through the ever changing terraces at Mammoth, admiring the travertine creations and hot springs. |
Map | We will now travel from Mammoth to Tower Roosevelt. There is almost always wildlife to be seen on the way. Amongst the photo opportunities will be Undine Falls, a really picturesque waterfall. |
Map | We'd like to be able to show you part of the Lamar Valley, but this will depend on traffic, buffalo jams, how long we've taken to get to this point, and the route ahead. Realistically, on some tours there just won't be enough time to venture into Lamar Valley. This is a particularly beautiful part of the park which runs along a section of road between Tower Junction and Yellowstone's north east entrance, and is where the keen wolf watchers are generally to be found. There is often a lot of other wildlife to be seen here. |
Map | Everyone wants to see a bear in the wild at Yellowstone, and the short trip from Tower Junction to Tower Falls is one of the best places to do so. The spring can be a great time to go looking for bears, as you have the opportunity of seeing mothers with their new born cubs.
Tower Falls is another pretty waterfall, to which we'll take a stroll. |
Map | The reason this tour only starts running in the fourth week of May is that we have to wait for the road from Tower Falls to Canyon Village to open. It's the highest road in the park, and the snow sticks around a lot longer. We'll climb up into the sky over Dunraven Pass, topping off at almost 9000 feet, and then drop down the other side towards the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. There is always the possibility of seeing a bear when we travel over Dunraven. |
| | The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is an unexpected treat amongst the thermal wonders. The Yellowstone River has carved an impressive canyon through the rocks, over which two falls drop. The Lower Falls is over twice the size of Niagara Falls! It is in this area that you can catch a glimpse of the yellowish tinge to the rocks, from which the Yellowstone River got its name, but at a different location. We'll check out the canyon and falls from a number of different locations. You get so close to the Upper Falls that you almost feel like you can reach out and touch the thundering water. Don't! |
Map | From the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone we'll head through the Hayden Valley, following the Yellowstone River, towards West Thumb Geyser Basin. The Hayden Valley is known for its wildlife, particularly large herds of bison at certain times of the year. It is also an excellent location to look for grizzly bears, especially in the spring, when they may be preying on newborn bison and elk. On the way to Fishing Bridge we will pause briefly at Mud Volcano, before following Yellowstone Lake to West Thumb. |
| | West Thumb is a beautiful geyser basin right on the shores of the incredibly blue Yellowstone Lake and we will walk the boardwalk system, taking in the various thermal features. |
Map | The road to Old Faithful passes over the Continental Divide twice, and we'll stop the second time it does, where a small but unique lake is to be found. |
Map | The Upper Geyser Basin is where Old Faithful is, the world's best known and most reliable gusher, and we will watch it erupt. There is also so much more to the area than just Old Faithful. Old Faithful Inn, a wonderful old building is located there. Old Faithful erupting! |
Map | The next stop is the Midway Geyser Basin, home to Grand Prismatic Spring - one of the largest anywhere in the world - as well as Excelsior Geyser, now dormant, but discharging thousands of gallons of water every minute. |
| | The next main thermal area we will be visiting is the Lower Geyser Basin, and Fountain Paint Pots. There is a boardwalk system running around and through the Fountain Paint Pots area, and it is a great place to go for a stroll, if the bison haven't got there first! Apart from the paint pots, there is also a selection of other thermal features in the area, including a number of geysers, one or other of which almost always seems to be erupting. |
Map | After a fun and full day in Yellowstone, we will make our way towards West Yellowstone. |
Day 1 - Spend the night in West Yellowstone
| | You will be dropped off at your motel, and will be on your own for dinner, and to explore the town. |
Day 2 - West Yellowstone to Gardiner - About 2.25 hours
Map | We're not going to spend that much time inside Yellowstone today, as we complete the Grand Loop Road tour, on our way back to the Bozeman airport.
From West Yellowstone we'll follow the Madison River to Madison Junction. In the spring and fall we can expect to see wildlife in the Madison Valley. At Madison Junction we will turn left, or north, and travel along the Gibbon River towards Gibbon Falls, where we'll stop |
Map | Norris Geyser Basin is the next main destination. Although not as well known as the other geyser basins, Norris is the most thermally active part of Yellowstone. It is divided into two separate basins: Porcelain Basin and Back Basin. We'll stroll through part of Porcelain Basin, and will try to take a quick peak at Back Basin as well. |
| | There are not many really significant sights on the road between Norris Geyser Basin and Mammoth, although we will stop briefly at Roaring Mountain, before traveling through Mammoth Hot Springs again, and making our way out of the park at Gardiner. |
Day 2 - Gardiner to the Bozeman airport - 88 mi / 141.59 km - About 90 minutes
Map | The route from Gardiner to Livingston, where we meet up with Interstate 90, is scenic, and once we're on 90, it's a relatively straight shot to the Bozeman airport. |
Day 2 - Flight from Bozeman to Seattle - About two hours
| | Your guide will drop you off at the Bozeman airport, for your flight back to the Seattle airport, where the tour ends. Please note that the airline will have a checked luggage fee, which you will need to pay. Thanks for joining us! |
