Yellowstone National Park offers opportunities to view a wide diversity of wildlife and landscape unmatched throughout the lower 48 States. This full-day journey from Cody into Northern Yellowstone and over the famed Beartooth Pass endeavors to highlight the hundreds of species of animals and birds that thrive in this protected ecosystem, as well as spectacular mountain vistas. Along the way we will explore the valleys, river systems, and forests where we search for our predators such as bears and wolves, and herds of ungulates such as bison, elk and pronghorn in a region lovingly referred to as America’s Serengeti. We will then climb over 10,000 ft in elevation and view the volcanic behemoths that are the Absaroka Mountains; an area referred to as the Top of the World. Each tour is led by a professional naturalist who will use high powered optics to find and observe wildlife at a distance as well as orient you to this fantastic corner of the Rocky Mountains.
