Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ICON

Old Faithful — Yellowstone’s signature geyser

Old Faithful is the program’s keystone: predictable eruptions make it the park’s best-known thermal spectacle and an unmissable stop on the Lower Loop route.

THE RAINBOW SPRING

Grand Prismatic — the aerial vista

The tour includes a short hike to a scenic overlook above Grand Prismatic Spring, the world’s third‑largest hot spring, where brilliant microbial colors fan across the terrace in a sweeping aerial view.

THE WATER

Gibbon Falls and wildlife photography

Between hydrothermal basins, the route drops to caldera edges where the Gibbon River plunges 88 feet at Gibbon Falls, and the day is punctuated by wildlife sightings and photographic opportunities.
