Upper Loop Tour et Lamar Valley depuis West Yellowstone avec déjeuner
Description
Cette visite en van d'observation de la faune est un excellent moyen de voir les animaux uniques du parc national de Yellowstone. Nous commençons dans la ville passerelle amusante de West Yellowstone. La partie tôt le matin de la visite explore les repaires de la faune dans le célèbre Shadow Canyon de la rivière Madison. Cette région abrite des ours et des wapitis. Plus tard, nous verrons la faune sur les épaules de l'un des plus hauts sommets de Yellowstone, le mont Washburn. Ensuite, nous explorons la vallée de Lamar, connue sous le nom de Serengeti d'Amérique du Nord. Nous utiliserons des lunettes de repérage pour rechercher des loups, des ours et d'autres animaux sauvages. Profitez d'une boisson chaude et d'une collation matinale tout en observant les loups. Ensuite, nous visitons les Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces pour une courte promenade. Si vous n'avez pas envie de marcher, nous trouvons un endroit sûr et pittoresque pour vous permettre d'attendre le groupe près du van. Enfin, nous reprenons la direction de West Yellowstone en nous arrêtant pour d'autres observations de la faune en cours de route. La journée se termine à West Yellowstone.

We had a great time and Parker who was our guide was very informative about things we saw through out the day. The fact that no one in the party had to drive was nice as we all gor to take in the beauty and look for animals. It was our first visit to this part of the country and it was awesome.
Tim took us out on this tour. He was fabulous full of information, educational and entertaining stories. He set up magnification on a tripod for us, which was fantastic. we were able to see Fox coyote, Osprey, blackbear mountain goats and of course bison along with fantastic visitors and travertine terraces in Mammoth. I recommend Tim with this tour group.
We completed the van tour of the Upper Loop today. Our guide, Gillian, was cordial and very inforrmative about the history and natural features of the park. We saw elk, pronghorns, and I estimate at least 200 bison. We also got great spotting scope views of an osprey nest with two young osprey in the nest and their mother in a nearby tree. The Mammoth hot springs were so unique that they seemed "other worldly". I highly recommend this tour, especially for those interested in seeing the wildlife of Lamar Valley.
Saw a lot of bison, elk and pronghorns. Would have loved to explore mammoth springs a little bit longer.
Excellent narrative from the guide. Animal activity is hit or miss. We saw many bison and print horn. Also some Elk. Bear and wolf activity was pretty silent unfortunately.
This was our first visit to Yellowstone and we were not sure where to start seeing everything we wanted to experience. After researching multiple tours and reading reviews, we chose the Upper Loop and Lamar Valley tour. It was the best decision ever. Our guide, Tim, was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable and accommodating with each passenger. Tim provided background information for each stop as well as historical information about Yellowstone. We stopped multiple times to see elk, bison, pronghorns, an osprey nest, coyotes, and even a grizzly bear. Our lunch was wonderful with multiple snacks and an assortment of drinks throughout the trip. The pick-up and drop-off were simple and easy and the van was super comfortable. We wholeheartedly recommend Tim and this trip. Barbie H.
We had a great day Saw so much of the park and amazing wildlife Tim was wonderful and very informative
Guide was amazing in spotting wildlife but you will be on the van for over 4 hours driving so be aware of such.
We had a great experience. Rory was a very knowledgeable tour guide, with an immense number of facts in mind, and knowledge about the park. She did a great job and was super attentive and kind to the guests on the tour. She had prepared our van with binoculars, a spotting scope, coffee, tea, and even hot coco for the kids. Thank you!
Our guide was nice and informative. The tour just wasn’t for us. It’s really a van tour with little activity. The first stop didn’t make much sense as there wasn’t much to see, the second stop we saw several bison. Overall there really just wasn’t much to see
