Private Yellowstone & Beartooth Pass Wildlife Tour from Cody

The journey, in full

The Wapiti Valley Transit: Depart Cody at first light, traveling through the scenic Shoshone River corridor. We utilize the early hours to scout for bighorn sheep and grizzly bears along the cliffs and riverbanks before entering the park. Northern Range Wildlife Study: Descend into the Lamar Valley, a vital stronghold for wild gray wolves, grizzly bears, and massive bison herds. Observe predator-prey interactions and learn the intricate history of the park’s most famous inhabitants. Beartooth Pass Ascent: Climb to nearly 11,000 feet on the Beartooth Highway, frequently called "the most beautiful drive in America." Experience the stark beauty of the alpine tundra, where snow lingers year-round, and volcanic formations define the horizon. Five-Ecotone Immersion: Witness the rapid shift in flora and fauna as we move from the low-elevation sage steppe to the high-altitude forests and eventually the "Top of the World." Expert Naturalist Instruction: Throughout the journey, your guide provides in-depth commentary on the region's wildlife biology, volcanology, and the conservation efforts that protect this nearly intact ecosystem.
