R&R Itinerary (June)

3-Day Adventure

We could all use a little R&R from daily responsibilities and regular life, and when you come to Yellowstone, you’ll find just that. Early to mid-June in Yellowstone is an ideal time to visit to relax and enjoy the slower pace of the park. You’ll be so relaxed you may never want to leave with the blooming wildflowers, abundant wildlife, babbling brooks, and rapidly moving rivers.! Better yet, early season in Yellowstone means a better chance for deals and special offers off our daily rates.

Day 1- Canyon Lodge & Cabins

Check into your lodge room, suite, or cabin at the LEED-certified Canyon Lodge & Cabins, the most sustainable building project in the National Park Service, and rest easy knowing that you’ve made an eco-conscious choice. Spend your first day relaxing in your room, and when you’re ready to venture out, Canyon makes the perfect home base for exploring the sights of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone: Upper and Lower Falls, Artist Point, or if you’re up for a climb, Mount Washburn. After adventuring, fuel up at Canyon Lodge Eatery. Need something sweet for dessert? Treat yourself to a cone at the Canyon Lodge Ice Creamery, where you can taste the finest Montana-made ice cream from the Big Dipper.

Day 2- Yellowstone Lake Scenicruise

Spend the morning relaxing, or head to the Canyon Eatery for breakfast before you board the Lake Queen for a one-hour guided Scenicruise of Yellowstone Lake. The boat departs Bridge Bay Marina and heads out and around Stevenson Island, where you will see the remains of the SS E.C. Waters and hear about the “colorful” man who had her built. While on the water, keep your eyes peeled and cameras ready for eagles, ospreys, and the occasional shoreline wanderer; elk and bison.

Day 3- Saddle Up Adventure

On your third day, grab your cowboy boots and your most comfortable pair of jeans and head out on the trails by horseback. At Roosevelt Corrals, you’ll be treated to a memorable horseback ride through the sagebrush, streams, and more. You’ll feel completely relaxed while taking in the beautiful views of Pleasant Valley and Hellroaring Mountain before looping back to the corral with some great memories and a big smile on your face.

You may think life in Yellowstone is a constant adventure, and it can be. But when you’re looking for some rest and relaxation, there’s plenty of that, too. Going with the flow and enjoying the park at your own pace, is a wonderful way to explore the world’s first national park, especially in the shoulder seasons when there are fewer visitors and more savings.
