Northern Yellowstone

Enjoy an afternoon and evening in northern Yellowstone. This trip will visit Rustic Falls, Mammoth Hot Springs, the Petrified Tree, Tower Falls and after dinner in the historic Roosevelt Lodge (if open) the trip will continue into the Lamar Valley to look for wildlife. Enjoy the cooler evening hours as the wildlife becomes active and begin to feed. The tour will return via the very scenic Dunraven pass (if open). This is an excellent tour for wildlife, especially in April, May and June; wildflowers, especially in early July; and waterfalls. Yellowstone's northern tier offers a wide variety of raw, rugged and open terrain. The scenery is spectacular and diverse.

Mammoth Hot Springs is one of the most dynamic thermal features in the world. This very hard water deposits two tons of rock a day, making Mammoth a living sculpture, with the hot, colorful water cascading down 200 vertical feet down the terraces. Historic Fort Yellowstone, sits below the terraces, a showcase of some of the oldest buildings in the national park system.

Mammoth Hot Springs, Undine Falls, the Petrified Tree, Rustic Falls, the Golden Gate Canyon and Bridge, the Lamar Valley, Dunraven Pass and Tower Falls.
