Description
Departing north from Old Faithful Inn, you’ll enjoy expansive views in the Historic Yellow Bus (top down if the weather’s nice!) as we travel the Grand Loop Road to take in the sights along Firehole Lake Drive, where Firehole Spring, Surprise Pool, Great Fountain Geyser, and other wonders lie adjacent to the road. From here, this tour plans its major walking stop at:
Midway Geyser Basin: Home to the Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in Earth’s Western Hemisphere, and Excelsior Geyser, which has views into its deep cyan-tinted depths that belie its history as Yellowstone’s most violent, explosive geyser.
