• The North Entrance Gate of Yellowstone National Park marks the beginning of your journey. The specific route and itinerary will be shaped by your preferences, recent wildlife activity, and prevailing weather and road conditions. Guides possess extensive experience and will customize your safari according to your group's interests. During the summer months, road work in Yellowstone may affect tour schedules. It is advisable to inform your guide of your priorities, so they can manage any road closures, slow traffic, or construction delays as best as possible. • A petrified redwood is an unusual sight in present-day Yellowstone, though millions of years ago the landscape was very different. This stop highlights a natural remnant of a volcanic era, and your guide will share insights about its historical and geological relevance. The itinerary can vary for each outing, and not every tour will include this stop. Convey your interests to your guide. • A scenic waterfall in northern Yellowstone is named after the rock formations at the top of the falls. Although erosion is gradually shifting the waterfall upstream, the change is not noticeable within a human lifetime. This stop allows for an explanation of the area's historical and geological significance by your guide. Since the tours are customized for each excursion, this stop may not be included on every tour. Make sure to communicate your interests to your guide. • Mammoth Hot Springs features an array of thermal attributes at the park's north entrance. It is renowned for its travertine terraces formed by mineral deposits, alongside various other geothermal features. The algae in the pools contributes to its unique reddish-brown hues. Your guide will provide information about the area's historical and geological importance during this stop. As itineraries are tailored for each group, this location may not be visited on all tours. Inform your guide of your desired sights in the park. • Slough Creek, a tributary of the Lamar River, originates in the Absaroka Range and supports diverse wildlife and plant life. Multiple stops will be made in the Slough Creek region to observe wildlife, with your guide offering insights into the historical and geological aspects of the area. The itinerary is adaptable for each trip, and not every excursion will visit this spot. Communicate your priorities with your guide. • The Lamar Valley, situated in northeastern Yellowstone, is famed for its stunning scenery and rich biodiversity. High concentrations of wildlife have earned it the nickname "the Serengeti of North America." Several stops will be made in this area to search for wildlife, as your guide will explain the region's historical and geological context. Tours are personalized for each departure, so there may not be stops at this location every time. Let your guide know what you wish to see. • The Albright Visitor Center, located in northern Yellowstone, is within a historic building that previously housed cavalry troops responsible for the park's protection before the National Park Service was established. A stop will be made here, where your guide will discuss the historical and geological importance of the site. As itineraries vary, this location may not be included in every tour. Share your preferred sites with your guide. • Constructed in 1903, the Roosevelt Arch is made from hexagonal basalt blocks and measures 52 feet (16 meters) tall. Located at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, MT, it was originally designed as a grand portal to the park, though subsequent features were never added and the main entrance was moved south of Gardiner. The arch remains and is now recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. A stop here allows your guide to provide details about the historical and geological significance of the arch. The customized nature of tours means this stop may not occur on every outing. Discuss your points of interest with your guide. • The Yellowstone River begins in the Absaroka Range at the Continental Divide and flows north through Yellowstone and Paradise Valley before heading east across Montana's plains into the Missouri River.
