Our 2-Day tour takes you to all of Yellowstone National Park and includes a one-night stay at the historic Old Faithful Inn. We depart Cody, WY on Fridays at 8am and enter Yellowstone either through the east gate or the northeast gate – depending on the time of year. There are only 8 passengers aboard our high-roof 14 passenger vans that house plenty of room for luggage and personal items. Famous sights include: Lamar Valley, Mammoth Hot Springs, Norris Geyser Basin, Grand Prismatic Spring, Old Faithful, West Thumb, Hayden Valley, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and more! The biggest difference you will notice on this 2-Day tour is we are able to spend more time at everybody’s favorite features, learn more about them and spend more time spotting for wildlife. The pace of this tour is much more relaxed and focused, as each day the miles of driving is less, so you have greater opportunity to see what you want to see and experience what you are interested in. This tour is a wonderful time for couples or other individuals looking to see all of Yellowstone without worrying about missing a thing. In addition, after arrival at the Old Faithful area about 5pm, we offer an optional stroll through the Upper Geyser Basin for your guide to show you the many geysers and colorful hot springs in the Upper Geyser Basin and educate you on the other predictable geysers not named Old Faithful. There are plenty of options for dinner, and if requested we will make a reservation for your group up to 60-days in advance at the Old Faithful Inn luxury restaurant. Old Faithful Inn was designed by renowned architect Robert Reamer and built in 1905. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. It should be noted that as an over 100 year old structure the bathrooms and showers are shared bathrooms in the hallways, about 4 rooms per each men’s and women’s restroom. This is because of the plumbing technology that was not around in 1905. If this is OK for one night, join us on this lovely 2-Day tour of Yellowstone National Park!
