Full-Day Private Safari of Yellowstone

This tour of Yellowstone National Park focuses on where we’ve seen or heard about wildlife in Yellowstone before your tour, as well as stopping at the other notable and must see features in the park. It is a private tour that holds up to 14 passengers and primarily takes you on either the Lower or Upper Loop of Yellowstone. Wildlife is the focus as we tour your party through Hayden Valley, Gibbon Valley, and/or the famed Lamar Valley: The ‘American Serengeti’. We will have a discussion about the best route for your group to enjoy before the tour based on your needs and what we know in the area. Thanks!

Biologists say that wildlife predator populations are currently better than 1872 and we want you to be able to sit back and enjoy the experience without worrying about where and how to drive through Yellowstone. This is your tour and we are happy to accommodate customization as feasible, Thank You!!

Our hometown, Cody Wyoming is filled with tons of Wild West adventures and activities, including the hall of fame rodeo, Old Trail town, Cody Cattle Company and the Center of the West museum.

Descend this winding road from Sylvan Pass from the East entrance to Yellowstone to see stunning vistas of the worlds largest alpine lake, Yellowstone Lake with fumaroles, mud pots, and wildlife as you enter this majestic terrain.

Our first in park stop for restrooms and meeting location for people coming from elsewhere besides Cody, WY. This is in the southwest quadrant of Yellowstone. For a map of the park please visit the NPS Yellowstone website or send us a message for a link.

Witness the first hydrothermal area of Yellowstone as we briefly stop at Mud Volcano and Dragon’s Mouth Springs to learn about some of the more acidic features of the park and the role microbes play in this unique environment.

In our first major area for wildlife viewing, in Hayden Valley, you are likely to see Bison, Elk, and coyotes, with the possibility of Bears, Wolves, and Moose.

Be prepared to be amazed as we guide you to Artist Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. You will see the 20 mile long and up to 1,000 foot deep canyon colored in beautiful shades of crimson and ivory with the amazing Lower Falls view just upstream.

See where 90% of the obsidian artifacts from the Ohio Valley to the Dakotas come from in the mecca of our ancestral obsidian collecting: Obsidian Cliff.

Be in awe as we pass ancient petrified redwood trees from millions of years ago that have turned to stone from millennia of volcanic debris!

Stop for lunch at the historic travertine terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. These ever-changing limestone ridges coated with calcium carbonate are truly one of the most dynamic features of Yellowstone National Park.

View the beginning of the world’s first National Park as we drive past buildings first constructed when the United States Army controlled Yellowstone National Park.

See Tower Fall and recognize it from one of the more famous historical paintings of Thomas Moran. Also a good location for restroom break and lunch depending on timing.

Lamar Valley has been a wolf watching mecca since the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone in 1995. Also see hundreds of Bison as well as Elk, black and Grizzly Bears. This beautiful area of the Northern Range is considered to be the “Serengeti of the West” and you will certainly see why.

Enjoy an old western mountain town as we stop for a pit stop in Cooke City, Montana.

See some of the best scenery Wyoming has to offer as we end our trip coming from the Beartooth Mtns back to Cody through the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway.
