Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

National Parks

Yellowstone, of all the national parks, is the wildest and most universal in its appeal... 
-- Susan Rugh

Yellowstone is the world’s first national park, a unique treasure that inspires awe in travelers worldwide. The premier park for scenery and wildlife, Yellowstone also offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn about geological forces, as its numerous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots provide living proof of the earth’s incredible volcanic processes. On this trip, your group will visit Old Faithful, hike the Continental Divide, and boat down the Snake River with Grand Classroom guides who will teach you about these remarkable places and the abundant wildlife you encounter.
