What Is Included in a Yellowstone Lower Loop Tour

On a professionally guided Lower Loop Yellowstone tour from Jackson Hole, guests typically experience:

• Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Basin

• Grand Prismatic Spring and Midway Geyser Basin

• Yellowstone Lake and scenic lakeshore overlooks

• Hayden Valley, one of the park’s top wildlife-viewing areas

• Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Lower Falls

• Multiple interpretive stops for short walks, photography, and education

This route is carefully paced to maximize quality time at each stop rather than rushing from viewpoint to viewpoint.

 

Lower Loop vs Grand Loop: Which Yellowstone Tour Is Right for You?

Understanding the difference between a Lower Loop tour and a Grand Loop tour is essential when planning your Yellowstone visit.

 

Yellowstone Lower Loop Tours

• Focus on the southern and central regions of the park

• Feature Yellowstone’s most iconic attractions

• Emphasize geysers, waterfalls, and scenic diversity

• Ideal for day trips from Jackson Hole and first-time visitors

 

Yellowstone Grand Loop Tours

• Best for guests with more time or strong wildlife interests

Many guests choose to start with a Lower Loop tour and expand into a Grand Loop itinerary depending on time, season, and wildlife activity.

 

Wildlife Viewing on the Yellowstone Lower Loop

Wildlife viewing is a major highlight of any Yellowstone Lower Loop tour, especially in Hayden Valley, a central wildlife corridor located directly on the Lower Loop route.

Depending on the season, guests may see:

• Plains bison and elk herds

• Grizzly bears and black bears

• Wolves and coyotes

• Bald eagles, osprey, and other raptors

Lower Loop tours allow guides to adapt the itinerary in real time based on wildlife reports, increasing the chances of meaningful sightings rather than brief roadside stops.

 

Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic & Iconic Lower Loop Stops

The Yellowstone Lower Loop contains the park’s most recognizable geothermal features. Tours spend ample time at:

• Old Faithful, including nearby geysers and boardwalk systems

• Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the United States

• Additional geothermal basins as conditions allow

• Waterfalls, river overlooks, and canyon viewpoints

Guides explain Yellowstone’s volcanic system, geothermal activity, and how these features continue to shape the landscape today.

 

Private vs Small-Group Lower & Grand Loop Tours
