We begin our adventure by traveling through Grand Teton National Park, pausing for wildlife encounters and to take in the spectacular views of the Teton Mountain Range. We then proceed to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the northern loop of Yellowstone, which includes the renowned Lamar River Valley. On day two, we delve into geyser basins, hot springs, mudpots, and the iconic Old Faithful.
Your 2-day Yellowstone tour starts when we pick you up from your Jackson or Teton Village lodging. We begin our adventure traveling through Grand Teton National Park– stopping for wildlife encounters, enjoying spectacular Teton mountains, glaciers, rivers, wild tales of fur trappers and mountain men, and exploring historical sites. We only have time for a taste of The Tetons; many guests add an extra tour day to explore just Grand Teton National Park. We’re on to Yellowstone! The world’s first national park founded in 1872. We’ll explore the amazing geo-thermals, the spectacular Grand Canyon of Yellowstone with Upper (97 ft) and Lower (308 ft) waterfalls. Tasty lunch and healthy snacks throughout the day. We cross Mt Washburn and by evening we arrive to the northern loop of Yellowstone and the famous Lamar River Valley. This is where wolves were reintroduced in 1995, and home to abundant antelope, bear, elk and where the Buffalo DO roam!
Day 1 Lodging: Inside Yellowstone Park or gateway town: rustic lodges and hotel options.
Morning starts in the world famous Lamar Valley capturing the best opportunity to experience, photograph and enjoy wildlife. Witness nature’s “Circle of Life” with Predator and Prey. This valley is famous for grizzly bears and wolves (predators) and abundant antelope, elk and bison (prey). Next, we visit historic Fort Yellowstone and Mammoth Hot Springs.
Tasty lunch and healthy snacks throughout the day. Then into the Super Volcano! Guided exploration into the geyser basins, with hot springs, mudpots, geysers and fumaroles will give you a powerful understanding and up-close connection to Mother Nature. We’ll explore Old Faithful and many of the 10,000 geo-thermals.
By afternoon, we turn the wagons back over The Continental Divide toward Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. The tour is not yet over… wildlife and beautiful sunset vistas await the Teton Mountain backdrop for a great finish to our fun adventure together. Return to Jackson, WY area hotel in the evening just in time to check-in and have dinner.

More About Lodging
There is a wide variety of accommodations in the Yellowstone region. Buffalo Roam will arrange lodging for you and your guide. Booking early ensures the best lodging options & locations. Most lodges inside the park are sold out a year in advance. However, there are several wonderful “gateway” communities on the park border where we love to stay which have availability throughout the high summer season and are close to unique areas of the Greater Yellowstone. Most accommodations in and around the park are what we call “Western rustic” charming little hotels, lodges or cabins; perhaps with fewer amenities but in a beautiful location!
Since lodging costs vary greatly depending on location, availability and your comfort level, we separate your tour cost and lodging cost. This allows you more options and typically we reserve the rooms directly on your credit card so that you are not paying any extra fees for lodging! Cost varies from $200 – $450 per room per night ( 2 Queen beds with a bath ); we work with your budget and desired level of accommodation in booking lodging. Your lodging cost includes lodging for your guide, and we always search for a more economical option for your guide.
Your Yellowstone Trip is a Tour of a Lifetime
We at Buffalo Roam know that Yellowstone is a trip of a lifetime and we will strive to make it the most enjoyable and memorable. Throughout the adventure, you will experience and connect to this wild beautiful national park landscape. Your experienced naturalist guide will share fun lessons on wildlife behavior, the Super Volcano creation, human land use, park history, the natural environment, microbiology “extremophiles” and much more. We impart a solid enjoyment to the wild wonders of nature. While on tour, we practice bear country safety techniques, “Leave No Trace” principles to outdoor travel and proper behavior in the presence of all wildlife and within a national park.
The exact routes and itineraries will depend on a number of factors – the most important being lodging location. Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks cover a large, wild area of over 2.5 million acres! One of the great things about private tours is that our experienced guides customize each adventure, making informed suggestions to calibrate each day to your interests, expectations, experience level, the best wildlife options, weather and desired length of hikes.
We strive to provide a fun, safe, memorable national park experience at any given time of year. We look forward to connecting you to the wonders of wild places!

Spring is here! I know it when we See our first Mountain Bluebirds, Pelicans and Bears. Come Roam with us. #buffaloroam.
The first taste of spring this week. You can tell the animals want dry ground. Still snow valley wide with only a few south facing slopes free of some snow. Not long before the parks open in May. #buffaloroamtours #roamwithus
