Painted firepots, gushing geysers, hissing fumaroles, bubbling hot springs... a chorus of ecological wonders that makes your safari inside two national
Montana
parks heat up with excitement. The heart of Yellowstone beats with life of the furred and feathered kind, inviting the Culturious to pause in
their presence on guided adventures that help you... go wild. The Tetons
make your spirits soar on hikes, bikes and river rafts... and on a cattle ranch that turns city slickers into Culturious cowboys.
Maximum Elevation:8,240 ft.
1. ARRIVE JACKSON, WYOMING Tour begins: 10:30 AM at Spring Creek Ranch. Our welcome representative will be waiting to meet you at Jackson Hole Airport this morning for an included transfer to Spring Creek Ranch, starting point for your American safari. A change of view and a change of clothes (hiking gear is de rigueur out here) readies you for zoomed-in outdoor adventures inside America’s first national park. Wild and wonderful, Yellowstone is all about nature at her most passionate. She smolders with hot springs, steaming geysers, fumaroles and gurgling mud pots. She’s dressed in snow-tipped mountains, lodgepole forests, trout spawning streams, rushing waterfalls, green rivers, yawning canyons and rocks exquisitely sculpted with an imaginative hand. She challenges with trails – some 1,000 miles of them – and thrills with animals, like bison, bears and wolves. Take in the raw beauty of the park on a drive into the wilderness, for a guided hike – and a naturally inspiring three-night stay – in the heart of a thermal wonderland. Your wilderness lodge hosts a welcome dinner tonight with a feast of scenery and hospitality. Meals LD
STORIES BY
Tauck On-tour Exclusive! Filmed narratives by Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan share personal stories of the passionate struggle to create America’s first national park, Yellowstone, proclaimed by President Theodore Roosevelt “for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” Tauck takes you behind-the-scenes with commentary by the creators of “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.”
2. YELLOWSTONE’S GRAND CANYON The break of day in Yellowstone is eye-opening, especially on an early two-mile morning hike around the Lower Geyser Basin, one of the park’s top-three places for the most concentration of geysers. Breakfast waits back at the lodge, before we head outside again aboard yellow Jammers to see scenery that surprises with dramatic intensity. Lesser known than its world-famous rival of a similar name, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one for the record books – and photo album! No wonder many travelers, except the Culturious, view it from a look-out called Inspiration Point. So much of experiencing Yellowstone requires up-close and personal contact
with the wild world and today’s hike along the canyon rim does just that. Hear the thunder of its two massive waterfalls as you thread your way past the steep jagged walls of pink, yellow and orange that cradle the river below. Picnic, al fresco, and forge on during a hike in Norris Geyser Basin. The hottest ground in the park, it is home to noisy geysers like Steamboat, Little Whirligig and Minute that erupt virtually non-stop, every minute! Dine tonight near one of the most famous hot-heads of them all – and one-time laundromat – Old Faithful. Meals BLD
