3. TWO NIGHTS INSIDE YELLOWSTONE Our nation’s national parks are a promise we made to ourselves to protect and preserve these natural treasures for the enjoyment of generations of visitors. You will have the unique opportunity on Cowboy Country this morning to volunteer with park experts on a very special service project, made possible by Tauck’s long-standing relationship with America’s national parks. Drive to Yellowstone National Park later this morning, where your inside-the-park accommodations are just steps away from Old Faithful Geyser. Dine à la carte tonight at the lodge. Meals BD
4. EXPLORE AMERICA’S OLDEST NATIONAL PARK Spend portions of today with local experts from the Yellowstone Association Institute, 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. 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. Meals BLD
