Geysers and buffalo, bears and hot springs; there are few natural wonders quite as magnificent as Yellowstone National Park. The huge expanse of wilderness is revered as much for its wildlife as for its geological marvels. Covering the whole park properly would take weeks, and you’ll certainly need some form of specialised transportation to get around, which is why tours are a great way to sit back and appreciate the highlights. Here are four of the best Yellowstone tours running from the Jackson Hole area.
Full-Day Yellowstone Lower Loop Tour from Jackson, Wyoming
Jackson provides great access to what’s known as Yellowstone’s Lower Loop. It’s a key part of the park’s character, containing the Old Faithful geyser, Fountain Paint Pots with its bright red and yellow mud, and plenty of different waterfalls in and around the area. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to wander the boardwalks that meander safely over the basins to provide better views of these natural phenomena and all the while, be sure to keep an eye out for Yellowstone’s incredible local wildlife. From $299 per person.
