Departing Rexburg, you will travel through rural Idaho, before ascending into the Targhee National Forest. After climbing up over the Continental Divide and into Montana, you will make the short drive to
West Yellowstone. On some days when you get to West Yellowstone, you will now be free to explore the town for a few hours, before taking the upper loop tour at about midday. Amongst other things, we suggest visiting the well known Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center (a must see). On other days, you may go straight out on a tour of one of the loops, as soon as you reach West Yellowstone. Whichever way you do it, you will tour the entire park over the next two days.
We will venture out of West Yellowstone take a Yellowstone Upper Loop 8 hour tour. Drive to the Norris Geyser Basin. Along the way, we will stop briefly at Gibbon Falls and Mammoth Hot Springs, where plenty of elk live. After that, we will travel through the Lamar Valley, where there is always wildlife to be seen. As we travel from Tower Junction to Tower Falls, we should keep our eyes open to try to spot some bears! Depending on how much time is available, we may visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Lower Falls. We may also visit the Obsidian Cliff, Virginia Cascade and Undine Falls. Later, we will return to West Yellowstone.
