AT THE END OF THE DAY...
Twilight on the FireholeThe Firehole (or Fire Hole) was named by the
mountain men of the 19th century. What they
experienced then still inspires visitors today.
Exploring the Firehole area during the later part
of the day is especially appealing as evening is a
“golden hour” in Yellowstone. That later daylight
adds a dramatic hue to the landscape, and wildlife
tends to be more active in early mornings and
evenings. This tour allows us to introduce you to an
evening in the Firehole.
