ONLY AVAILABLE APRIL 19th – OCTOBER 31, 2024
If you love unique Yellowstone National Park history, walking next to stunning thermal areas, and hoping to see a few of the park’s best hiking destinations in one tour, this trail adventure is for you!
Starting at the end of Fountain Flats Drive, this 12-mile hiking trek will retrace an old road, take you to the stunning overlook of Grand Prismatic, and then out to Fairy Falls and remote thermal areas. While the main destinations of Fairy Falls and the Grand Prismatic Overlook will be heartily trafficked, after taking in the splendor of these areas, the hiking tour leads away from the crowds, taking you to remote thermal spots full of stunning sights. You’ll even have a chance to see the oldest man-made structure in Yellowstone and learn about the history of the building.
Wildlife-wise, we will have the potential to see bison, numerous bird species, coyotes, foxes, and even a bear sighting (which is rare here).
For those hoping for a shorter trek in the same region, I can happily make this one a little shorter.
THIS IS A PRIVATE TOUR FOR YOU AND YOUR GROUP!
Distance: ~12 Miles

Overview
Booking this thermal area tour gives you cool history and highlights of the park, including the oldest building in any national park, a myriad of thermal features, a scenic (albeit popular) waterfall, and the ever impressive Grand Prismatic Overlook. This 11.6 mile adventure is mostly flat, gaining roughly 600 feet in total. Wildlife will be minimal on this trail, but you’ll definitely get both the standard tour experience on the popular trails, while also seeing some spots that few ever experience.
