2025 Wyoming Roadtrip - Day #6 - Yellowstone National Park

After some debate on Saturday, we ended up booking a tour of Yellowstone National Park through Viator rather than trying to do a driving tour on our own like we did in Grand Teton National Pak. Yellowstone Day Tours picked us up at 6:30 am at the Snow King Resort. The tour guide's name was Dan. There were two other couples, including one with their twelve year old grandson.

I enjoyed the day. I particularly enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to do any of the driving!

Over the course of the day, we saw a great selection of animals, including black beers, grizzly bears, a moose, a red fox, a Great Horned Owl with her chicks and lots of bison. Somehow I didn't get any pictures of the bison...


We stopped at Lower Falls and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

We stopped at all five of the major hydrothermal features in Yellowstone, including:

Fumaroles;

Travertine Terraces;

Hot Springs;

Mudpots, and;

Geysers (Old Faithful).

It was a long day. We covered all of the upper and lower loops, including a side trip to the Butte Lake Overlook to see the grizzlies. It was 8:30 pm by the time we got back to the hotel. 14 hours door to door! Sharon noted that we have never done an excursion this long on any of our overseas trips...

Sharon and I ended the day with a late dinner at the Hayden Post with Bison Burgers.
