Private Yellowstone National Park Lower Loop Tour
What your day looks like
Yellowstone’s Lower Loop is our most popular excursion. It is a full-day tour. We leave Jackson Hole early in the morning and travel through Grand Teton National Park on our way to Yellowstone enjoying the early morning sun as it shines on the Teton Mountains. The Teton Mountains are among the world’s most photographed majestic ranges, and you will see why. Once in Yellowstone we circle the Lower Loop which encompasses several of Yellowstone National Park’s most famous geothermal features such as the Grand Prismatic Spring, Old Faithful Geyser, Norris Geyser Basin, and Volcano Mud Pots. The Lower Loop includes beautiful natural wonders like Yellowstone Lake, the Upper and Lower waterfalls, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. The tour will take you to the Hayden Valley, home to one of the largest herds of bison (buffalo) in the park. Along with bison, other wildlife such as elk, eagles, bighorn sheep, moose, wolf, mule deer live in the Hayden Valley. The Lower Loop is one of the best ways to see many of the park’s most popular sites in one day. It takes may trips to explore the Yellowstone ecosystem so if your time is limited, the Lower loop is the ideal tour to maximize your time in America’s first National Park.

Starting January 1, 2026, the National Park Service (NPS) is implementing a $100 per-person fee for non-U.S. residents entering 11 major national parks, in addition to standard entrance fees, as part of a new "resident-focused" fee structure designed to prioritize U.S. taxpayers and fund park maintenance. This fee will only impact our international customers. The only exception is for those non-U.S. residents that have purchased the America the Beautiful (ATB) International Pass for $250, which grants annual access to all federal lands.
