Only A Day

To make the most of your day, start out at a visitor center. You can get an overview and an opportunity to ask any questions you may have before setting out for your day in the park.

An excellent one-day activity is taking the Yellowstone in a Day tour, a full-day interpretive motorcoach tour. You may see a variety of wildlife along the 141-mile route. The road passes Mammoth Hot Springs and the Upper Geyser Basin, home of Old Faithful. It also crosses the Continental Divide to Yellowstone Lake and then winds through wild meadows on its way to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. 

Be sure to plan your day in advance to make the most of your time. A more leisurely option—one that leaves you plenty of time to get out of your car and walk a nature trail or have lunch at one of the lodges—is to take the Circle of Fire tour, which travels along the lower portion of the Grand Loop Road. Sit back and enjoy the landscapes and wildlife as your knowledgeable guide lets you in on Yellowstone's fascinating story.
