ROARING MOUNTAIN
Roaring Mountain in Yellowstone is a geothermal feature, offering a hillside covered in steaming fumaroles. The cool morning air makes the steam vents, or "roaring" vents, more visible.
NORIS GEYSER BASIN
Norris Geyser Basin is the park's hottest, oldest, and most dynamic hydrothermal area. Known for its acidic, rapidly changing landscape, it features the world's tallest geyser, Steamboat, alongside numerous colorful hot springs and steam vents.
GRAND CANYON OF YELLOWSTONE
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a, colorful, 20 to 24-mile long, 800-1,200 foot deep canyon carved by the Yellowstone River. It is famous for its dramatic yellow, pink, and white rock, two massive waterfalls (the 308-foot Lower Falls and 109-foot Upper Falls), and premier viewpoints like Artist Point. The canyon was formed by hydrothermal activity and erosion, with the oldest sections dating back 140,000–160,000 years.
OLD WEST STAGECOACH RIDE & COOKOUT
We will visit a special viewing spot that offers travelers a great opportunity to watch modern salmon management techniques and to see adult fish attempt to leap the artificial falls as they make their way upstream in the summer during the salmon run.
CALCITE SPRINGS OVERLOOK
The vantage point gives spectacular views of not only the canyon walls but also vertical columns of basalt nearby. Looking upstream from the overlook, guests will see the steep canyon walls carved by the Yellowstone River below. Near the river's shores, steam from the thermal vents can be seen, especially in cooler weather. Travelers glancing downstream will view the bleached canyon of Calcite Springs, which geologists say holds evidence of the area's volcanic past. At one time, the entire area was under 25 feet of lava.
TOWER FALL
The 132-foot drop of Tower Creek, framed by eroded volcanic pinnacles has been documented by park visitors from the earliest trips of Europeans into the Yellowstone region. Its idyllic setting has inspired numerous artists, including Thomas Moran. His painting of Tower Fall played a role in the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872.
ARTIST PAINT POTS
This unique area features over 50 hydrothermal features, including bubbling mud pots, small geysers (such as Blood Geyser), and steam vents. The trail offers vibrant, colorful views of geothermal activity, including red-orange sulfur deposits.
GIBBON FALLS
Gibbon Falls drops 84 feet (25.6 m) over a remnant of the Yellowstone caldera rim. The caldera was created by a massive volcanic eruption approximately 631,000 years ago.
Subsequent lava flows filled in much of the caldera, and it is now measured at 30 x 45 miles.
FOUNTAIN PAINT POTS
This is a popular 0.5-mile boardwalk trail showcasing all four types of hydrothermal features—mud pots, geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles that are named for the red, yellow, and brown mud (colored by iron oxidation)
GRAND PRASMATIC SPRING
The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone’s Midway Geyser Basin is the largest hot spring in the US (third largest globally), measuring roughly 370 feet in diameter and over 121 feet deep. Famous for its rainbow-like colors—blue center with rings of green, yellow, and red—caused by thermophilic bacteria, it features water temperatures reaching up to 189°F
SCHWBACHER'S LANDING
One channel of the Snake river flows towards Schwabacher Landing—a scenic location for viewing the mountains and wildlife. The shallow water is crystal clear and on a calm morning, will reflect the Teton Range. The riparian habitat is makes it a suitable location for moose and beavers. In fact, evidence of beavers can be found all around. Dams blocked this small channel of the Snake, changing the landscape. You might even see a tree stump that has been gnawed away by this member of the rodent family.
Whether it's sunrise, sunset, or anytime in between, you won't be disappointed by the awe-inspiring views from Schwabacher Landing.
OXBOW BEND
Oxbow Bend is one of the most iconic views in Grand Teton National Park. An oxbow is a crescent-shaped section of river lying alongside a flowing, winding river. The shape is created over time as erosion and deposits of soil change the river's course. On calm days, Mount Moran can be seen reflected on the surface of the water. This area is home to a variety of birds and animals, including pelicans, Great Blue Herons, muskrats, otters, moose, and bear, making it an excellent spot for wildlife viewing!
SNAKE RIVER
The Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park is a famous viewpoint known for Ansel Adams' iconic 1942 photo, offering stunning, accessible views of the Teton Range and the winding Snake River, though trees now partially obscure the famous "S" curve Adams captured. It's a popular, year-round stop, but the view is different from the historic photograph due to tree growth
.
CHAPEL OF THE TRANSFIGURATION
This small log chapel, built in 1925, offers spectacular views of the Teton Mountain Range and a majestic place to pray. Services are still held here every Sunday during the summer.
TAGGART LAKE
Taggart Lake, located in Grand Teton National Park, is a popular, easily accessible destination renowned for its stunning, close-up views of the Teton Range. The 3–3.3 mile round-trip, family-friendly trail features glacial waters, and alpine scenery. The lake is named after W. Rush Taggart, a geologist on the 1872 Hayden Expedition
MOOSE POND
The Moose Ponds Trail in Grand Teton National Park is a 2–3 mile round-trip, generally easy hike near South Jenny Lake, renowned for frequent moose sightings and views of Teewinot. The trail offers a relatively flat, 180-foot elevation gain hike, often described as a 1–2 hour excursion to spot moose feeding in the water.
JENNY LAKE
Jenny Lake is one of the most visited areas in Grand Teton National Park. Tucked away at the base of the Teton Range, the lake is a centerpiece of the park. It is most commonly referred to as the beautiful alpine lake in Grand Teton National Park and is a popular spot for boat rides, photography, and hiking.
MORMON ROW
Mormon Row is a historic district in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, featuring abandoned, early 20th-century homesteads, including the iconic Moulton barns. Settled in the 1890s by Mormon families from Idaho, the community of Grovont was established under the Homestead Act, known for its fertile soil. The site was abandoned as settlers moved away due to harsh winters, challenging agricultural conditions, and the expansion of the national park. This area is widely considered the most iconic photography spot in Grand Teton National Park.
DELTA LAKE HIKE
This seven to nine and a half mile round-trip of unofficial trail is known for its stunning turquoise, glacial-fed water directly below the Grand Teton. It has varying terrain—including significant boulder fields and unmaintained paths—with a 2,300–2,700 ft elevation gain. We believe you will find it well worth the challenge to view such stunning scenery!
WEST THUMB GEYSER BASIN
The West Thumb Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park features unique lakeside thermal features, including hot springs, mud pots, and geysers, set against the backdrop of Yellowstone Lake, with highlights like the deep Abyss Pool and historic Fishing Cone
OLD FAITHFUL
Old Faithful is a famous cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park, renowned for its consistent, though not perfectly regular, eruptions. It erupts roughly 17-20 times daily. Eruptions last 1.5 to 5 minutes, reaching 106–184 feet high, and eject 3,700–8,400 gallons of boiling water.
MUD VOLCANO AREA
The Mud Volcano area in Yellowstone National Park features highly acidic, tumultuous geothermal wonders, including the namesake 30-foot mud pot and the noisy Dragon’s Mouth Spring. This area offers a 0.9-mile boardwalk trail displaying bubbling, gray mud pots and sulfur-scented fumaroles, often surrounded by steaming, cooked landscapes.
HAYDEN VALLEY
Situated in the heart of Yellowstone on the Grand Loop Road, this area is known for large, vocal bison herds (especially during the late summer rut), grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, and elk -- a perfect location to spot wildlife!
LAMAR VALLEY
Lamar Valley is renowned as "America's Serengeti" for its unparalleled, year-round wildlife viewing, particularly wolves and massive herds of bison. This expansive, open landscape is a premier spot for spotting grizzly bears, coyotes, and elk and is widely considered the best place in Yellowstone to view wolves, with frequent sightings of packs like the Junction Butte and Lamar Canyon packs.
SODA BUTTE
This large, dormant travertine (calcium carbonate) cone, once a prolific hot spring, is named for an extinct hot spring, and the Soda Butte Creek that flows from the Absaroka Range into the Lamar River, offering a unique geological feature.
YELLOWSTONE LAKE
Yellowstone Lake is North America's largest high-elevation lake (7,732 ft), covering 136 square miles with a maximum depth of over 400 feet. It is a massive, cold, glacier-carved, and volcanically active basin offering boating, fishing for cutthroat trout, and hiking, with iconic features like the 1891 Lake Yellowstone Hotel.
BEARTOOTH HIGHWAY
