Two-Day Private Tour: Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks

Overview

Experience the very best of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks on a two-day private adventure designed to showcase the region’s most awe-inspiring scenery, geothermal wonders, and abundant wildlife. Whether beginning in Bozeman, Gardiner, Paradise Valley, West Yellowstone, or Jackson Hole, your expert naturalist guide will tailor the journey to your starting point and interests.

Across two unforgettable days, you’ll witness erupting geysers, glacial peaks, roaring waterfalls, and the wild heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—home to bison, elk, moose, bears, wolves, pronghorn, and eagles. This is the ultimate way to experience two of America’s most celebrated national parks in comfort, style, and at your own pace.

Day One – Yellowstone to Grand Teton National Park

From there, we’ll travel south through West Thumb Geyser Basin and stop at Moose Falls, a beautiful roadside waterfall tucked just inside the park’s southern border. Continuing into Grand Teton National Park, we’ll explore Elk Ranch Flats, the historic Cunningham Cabin, and the world-famous Snake River Overlook, made legendary by Ansel Adams’ photography. The day concludes in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Teton Range.
