This full-day van tour departs from West Yellowstone and focuses on wildlife viewing throughout Yellowstone National Park. The itinerary begins with an early morning wildlife search in Shadow Canyon along the Madison River, where you're likely to spot bears and elk.
The tour continues to Mount Washburn for more wildlife spotting opportunities and then heads to the Lamar Valley, often referred to as the Serengeti of North America. Spotting scopes are provided to look for wolves and bears while enjoying a hot drink and a morning snack. A brief stop at the Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces allows for some exploration on foot, with an option to wait in a scenic area if walking is not preferred. The tour ends as you return to West Yellowstone, with additional wildlife sightings along the way.

It was a long but wonderful day filled with an incredible tour. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely repeat the experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, addressing all our inquiries.
I had a fantastic experience on the Upper Loop Tour. Michell provided excellent explanations of all the details regarding the Upper Loop and Lamar Valley. I would definitely do this tour again without any hesitation. Thank you, Michell and Yellowstone Hiking Guides. Peadar.
This was an excellent tour. Our guide Spencer was outstanding and provided a wealth of knowledge. We encountered a diverse range of wildlife, and the lunch was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this experience.
It was truly exceptional. We encountered bison, bears, antelope, and an eagle. Ron was fantastic! His knowledge and information were impressive. We really couldn't have asked for more.
The Upper Loop Tour of Lamar Valley and Mammoth Springs was an incredible experience. Our guide, Spencer, was attentive and ensured we had our snack bags, hot coffee, and a delightful lunch. He engaged with everyone, answered numerous questions, and shared valuable information about Yellowstone and its wildlife. I highly recommend this tour, and I suggest requesting Spencer as your guide.
Spencer, our guide, was excellent—knowledgeable, informative, and funny. He helped us discover sights we might have missed and we gained a lot from the experience. However, we recommend not being the last ones picked up; sitting in the back row had us in tiny seats with a small window, making it a very tight fit.
We experienced a truly enchanting day filled with wildlife sightings, including deer, elk herds, pronghorn, bison, a wolf, coyote, and a black bear with cubs; the highlight was definitely spotting a massive bull moose. Our group of six, along with our knowledgeable and courteous driver/tour guide Ron, had a great time. The van was comfortable and air-conditioned, and everyone received individual binoculars for better viewing.
Spenser was very knowledgeable and responsive to all of our many questions. He had a great sense of humor and made jokes with us throughout the tour. I couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Visiting Yellowstone for the first time, I aimed to see everything, and this tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide Spencer was impressive with his knowledge of the area, ensuring we experienced the wildlife and stunning landscapes. I highly recommend this company.
We had an incredible experience visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton. During our trip, we spent three nights in West Yellowstone and two nights in Jackson. Traveling in late September to early October allowed us to steer clear of the crowds and enjoy the beautiful autumn colors.
