“We took our daughter and grandson on this trip with us,
and everyone had a terrific time. I want to praise our fabulous Tauck Director... she was wonderful with the children and totally in control of all the millions of details that make a tour seamless. — Barbara & Lew Lippard, CA

morning, where your inside-the-park accommodations are just steps away from Old Faithful Geyser – you will be able to watch it send its plume of steam skyward during your stay; it puts on its clockwork show just about every 90 minutes! Free time this afternoon offers you time to explore the area with your family on its walking trails that take you by the most amazing collections of geothermal wonders. Dine à la carte tonight at the lodge. It may be hard to imagine that the lodge was built in 1903 over the course of a single winter when snow and ice blanketed the sights you saw today! Meals BD
Day 4 – Explore America’s oldest national park Wake up to a world of natural wonders in the world’s very first national park, established in 1872. Spend portions of the day with local experts from the Yellowstone Association Institute, one of the nation’s outstanding wilderness schools, who share stories about the park’s history and wildlife on a full day sightseeing trip. 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, but more than 61 different mammals live here. In fact, Yellowstone National Park has the largest concentration of wildlife in the lower 48 states. You may happen upon elk, white-tailed deer, mule deer and sheep during your explorations so keep an eye out for the locals today! Enjoy a picnic lunch in the great outdoors, and hear 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 preservation and conservation efforts of so many who came before, and so many today, to protect this land for future generations. Dinner is at your leisure back at the lodge this evening. Meals BLD
