WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
As you drive, you'll pass Teton Village, home to some of the best (and most intense) skiing anywhere in the States. Note: In this bundle, each tour is 235+ mile-long and takes 10-12 hours to complete.
2.
Next, you'll drive through the Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve, a sprawling wildlife preserve that's home to elk, and other mountain critters.
3.
See that single-room cabin up ahead? This little log shack is actually an episcopalian church! Be sure to park and hop out for some incredible views.
4.
The first trail you'll see is the Taggart Lake Trail, a 6-mile loop that leads to a pair of huge, pristine lakes: Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake.
5.
Afterwards, you'll stop at a turnout offering great views of the largest glacier in the park, plus get some facts about how much bigger it was just 100 years ago!
6.
Up next is one of the park's most popular attractions: Jenny Lake. Home to phenomenal trails and gorgeous shoreline, there's a reason why this is a must-see!
7.
Past that you'll have a chance to view the famous Cascade Canyon. Carved by a huge glacier 12,000 years ago, this is one of the park's defining features!
8.
Then you'll get a great look at Mount Moran, the imposing 12,610 foot peak which towers over Jackson Lake.
9.
The next overlook you'll come across offers simply unbeatable views of Jackson Lake and the majestic mountains beyond. This is a spot you can't miss!
10.
Next, you'll pass Colter Bay, a major camping hub and a place with some surprising ranching history.
11.
Pull into the turnout just ahead for some truly incredible views. From here you can see just about the entirety of Jackson Lake, as well as the majestic Tetons beyond.
12.
An optional detour takes you to Cattleman's Bridge, a cool remnant of the cattle ranches of Jackson's early years.
13.
Also along the detour is Oxbow Bend, a picturesque spot where Snake River makes a U-turn.
14.
Farther along, you'll reach Snake River Overlook, where famous photographer Ansel Adams captured one of the most well-known photos ever taken in the Tetons.
15.
Another viewpoint waits just ahead at Teton Point Turnout, offering glimpses of some seriously strange geology.
16.
Next, you'll arrive at Glacier View Turnout, boasting views of not one, not two, but three huge glaciers!
17.
Your detour ends within the National Elk Refuge, a phenomenal place to spot some of the local wildlife, especially in the mornings and aroud dusk.
18.
Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs, and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful.
19.
This tour of Yellowstone features multiple entrances to accommodate travelers entering from any direction. Get ready to experience one of the most incredible landscapes in North America, featuring stunning volcanic features like geysers and hot springs, majestic wildlife from bison to gray wolves, and more natural beauty than you can capture with any camera.
20.
If entering via the South Entrance, you'll pass Grant Village, a great place to make a pit stop before continuing onto the Grand Loop which circles the whole park.
21.
First in this section of the park is the West Thumb Geyser Basin, one of Yellowstone's largest geyser basins which features some truly remarkable geothermal features.
22.
Your route takes you next past Shoshone Lake, a lovely secluded little patch of wilderness with a great hiking trail to boot.
23.
Up next is Isa Lake, which sits directly on the Continental Divide. In a way, this lake marks the backbone of the country!
24.
Old Faithful, up next, is one of Yellowstone's most famous attractions for a reason. This huge geyser is so reliable it was once referred to as "eternity's timepiece"!
25.
Up next is Morning Glory, a deep hot spring pool which has, unfortunately, been severely damaged by tourists over the years. That said, it's still a sight to behold.
26.
You've heard of hot tubs, but how about a hot river? That's exactly what you'll find at Firehole River, your next stop. It's a river naturally heated by a nearby hot spring!
27.
Then you'll be able to park and see Grand Prismatic up close. It's a staggeringly huge hot spring with rings of shocking color encircling it. This is one of Yellowstone's can't-miss attractions!
28.
Next up is the Fountain Paint Pot, a wonderfully colorful mud pot which is constantly burbling and rearranging itself thanks to the volcanic power underneath it.
29.
You'll see the West Entrance Visitor Information Center if entering the park via the town of West Yellowstone.
30.
As you drive past the picturesque Gibbon River, you'll hear about its importance to the Shoshone tribe, as well as how they used the park's natural obsidian deposits in the past.
31.
After that you'll find Gibbon Falls, one of the park's most easily accessible waterfalls. Unlike many falls, which require long hikes down rocky trails, this one can be seen from the road!
32.
Your route takes you next to the Artist's Paint Pots, another set of colorful mud pots featuring a boardwalk which takes you past not only the paint pots, but also a bunch of small geysers as well. This is a must-see spot.
33.
The next geyser basin you'll reach is the Norris Geyser Basin, the oldest, hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone, with temperatures measured up to 459 degrees below the surface!
34.
Up next are the Swan Lake Flats. These aren't just a great place to spot wildlife, they're also the birthplace of one of Yellowstone's eight wolf packs!
35.
After that, you'll see Mammoth Hot Springs, one of Yellowstone's most picturesque features. But these terraced hot springs aren't just perfect for photos--they're also a huge draw for the local elk population!
36.
If entering from the north entrance, you'll pass another heated river called the Boiling River. Don't worry about the name, though--it's actually quite a pleasant temperature!
37.
The Albright Visitor Center is up next for those entering from the north, and it's a great place for anyone to stop for snacks or a restroom break.
38.
Up next are the Undine Falls, a 60-foot waterfall named after fairies from German folklore.
39.
Just across from Undine Falls is a trailhead leading to the 80-foot Wraith Falls, another of Yellowstone's nearly 350 waterfalls!
40.
Next, you'll pass through Tower Junction, home to the Roosevelt Lodge where, despite the name, no Roosevelt ever camped. But that doesn't make it any less of a fantastic camping spot!
41.
The Roosevelt Arch is a rusticated triumphal arch at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana, United States. Constructed under the supervision of the US Army at Fort Yellowstone, its cornerstone was laid down by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903.
42.
As you drive, you'll pass Lamar Valley next. This valley is the best place in Yellowstone to spot the park's iconic wildlife. You'll almost definitely see bison here, and might even get lucky and catch sight of some elusive wolves!
43.
Visitors entering from the northeast will enter through the Northeast Entrance near Cooke City.
44.
Continuing along the Grand Loop, you'll arrive at Dunraven Pass, one of the highest points in the entire park. This 9,000-foot pass also features the trailhead to a hiking trail leading up an additional 1,000 feet for a truly commanding view of the park below.
45.
Mount Washburn, elevation 10,243 feet, is a prominent mountain peak in the Washburn Range in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The peak was named in 1870 to honor Henry D. Washburn, leader of the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition.
46.
Next, you'll pass through Canyon Village, the strange, semi-town where many of Yellowstone's workers live during their time at the park. It offers a fun glimpse into what life is like for the park employees!
47.
Continuing on, you'll arrive at Inspiration Point, the most popular of the overlooks along Yellowstone's Grand Canyon. The vista here is simply unmatched anywhere else in the park.
48.
Up next is Hayden Valley, which offers a glimpse into the past. Though it's a lush green valley today, it was once at the bottom of a lake!
49.
Those entering from the east will enter through the park's East Entrance in Cody.
50.
Next, you'll cross Fishing Bridge and hear about the park service's early, misguided attempts to boost park visitation by introducing invasive trout to the rivers.
51.
Finally, you'll arrive at Yellowstone Lake, the largest high elevation lake in North America. This pristine lake is too cold to swim in, but it makes the perfect place for a picnic or even a boat ride!

CANCELLATION POLICY

The best way to enjoy touring the Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and surrounding area with a self timed tour full of interesting trivia, and a pleasant virtual guide!
The various touring and starting point options are very useful to plan the visit in multiple angles. The guidance of reviewing the tour plan and instructions for downloading ALL the tours beforehand is extremely important as there is no signal once you enter the area.
I strongly recommend downloading the Apple and/or Google maps of the entire park area from the hotel locations (from all adjacent states - Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana) as it offers a great parallel back up (and peace of mind) for navigational guidance.
The tour points (from their starting points) are nicely timed with the speed limits and the narrations automatically come up as you approach the location. The moving blue dot on the map is very useful to know if you are on track. It would be great once the App is capable of displaying as a map on CarPlay. However, it worked well with its audio coupled with my downloaded Apple map directions. I was then able to see the Blue dot on the App on my phone while seeing the GPS directions and App audio on the CarPlay. It became very beneficial when occasionally (rare) there was a time mis-match in the Blue Dot vs actual location.
The various historical references and anecdotes are very entertaining and useful - not only for learning about the park, but also for a great company as you are driving a row this vast area. We didn’t even realize how much and how long we had driven as the various tour stops and associated narration kept us very engaged, along with the incredible wonder of nature around us. The suggested tour stop points and optional detours are excellent in seeing all great things in the area.
I would strongly recommend this Self-Guided tour to fully enjoy the park at your own pace!!!

These audio tours were wonderful. We had scheduled regular tours but these audio allowed us to explore the parks on our own. Easy to use very informative. Highly recommend even if you have guided tours scheduled. They pick up where you are and start explaining. Also good to just listen to the stories before to give you a heads up on what to expect.

The experience of the tour was great. The app shut off several times and I had to watch the stupid intro EVERY SINGLE TIME. That is frustrating. But we also ordered it again for our second day.

This driving tour gave us so much information. Was easy to set up & use. Make sure you download it before you enter the park since wifi is spotty. Was well organized. Made the drive much more interesting by learning about it as you were seeing it. Can't imagine doing this drive without it.

We downloaded and opened both the Grand Teton and Yellowstone self guided tours before even leaving for our trip.

Grand Teton worked great. Yellowstone however would not open on my phone therefore we could not use the Yellowstone park tour. We even followed the offline guide and still could not get Yellowstone to work. Extremely disappointing
