This narrated sightseeing tour to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone departs the Snow Lodge and follows the road north from Old Faithful through the Upper and Lower Geyser Basins to Madison Junction, where a brief stop is made. The tour continues north along the Gibbon River through excellent elk and bison habitat, following the road east from Norris to Canyon. Spend up to 2 wonderful hours at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and snowshoe up to 3 miles. Timing can vary due to weather conditions. Stops are also made throughout the day to view wildlife.
