Tours are entirely customizable to your interests. The listed itinerary is only a suggestion. All tours are private tours, for your group only, and can include as much or as little hiking as you'd like. All transportation, lunches, and use of optical equipment (binoculars and spotting scope) is included.
Tours are limited to Yellowstone's normal operating season, from April 17 through October 31. Winter tours are not available.
