Day 3 – Stay inside Yellowstone National Park You will have the unique opportunity on Cowboy Country today to volunteer with park experts on a service project, made possible by
Tauck’s long-standing relationship with America’s national parks. Tauck received a special Presidential Award for this on-tour volunteer program in the summer of 2006. Drive to Yellowstone National Park, where your inside-the-park accommodations are just steps away from Old Faithful Geyser – which shoots its plume of steam skyward just about every 90 minutes! Join your Tauck Director for sightseeing that features some of Yellowstone’s most famous geologic wonders. Meals BD
Day 4 – Explore America’s oldest national park Start your day with local experts who share stories about the park’s wildlife. Yellowstone National Park protects five threatened or endangered species, including the gray wolf, the whooping crane, the lynx, the bald eagle, and the grizzly bear. Enjoy a picnic lunch, and go exploring with an expert who offers special insights about the “restless” geology of the park, from thundering waterfalls to gurgling mud pots and volcanic calderas. With 10,000 hot springs, two-thirds of all geysers in the world, and lush forests, it’s easy to understand the passionate efforts to protect this land for future generations. Meals BLD
America’s Old West is a treasure trove of stories,
from cowboys on The Ranch at UCross to adventurers in Buffalo Bill’s town of Cody or the faces behind Mt. Rushmore
