Private Hidden Gems of Yellowstone! Lunch w/ family friendly hikes included!

About this activity

This tour will only take your group to areas inside Yellowstone that are off the beaten path and not easily found (we can easily add a one or a few popular sites to make a hybridized tour).

This tour does not stop at Old Faithful or popular tourist destinations. Instead, we will go to areas that gives your family or friends the opportunity to experience Hidden Yellowstone. Since we are avoiding the popular destinations we will have more time to explore and get off the beaten path compared to other tours. We will take many walks to hidden waterfalls, secluded lakes, scenic vistas, hidden geysers, mud pots, hot springs, and view lots of wildlife. On this tour we will put your group in the best position to safely view wildlife. For lunch we will stop at a secluded and scenic location for a provided picnic style lunch from a local bakery. On this tour we will navigate the park as best we can without interacting with other tourists because we are going to Hidden Yellowstone!
