Hot
Spots In Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park Tour (full day) "[Jim Bridger] gives a picture, most romantic and enticing, of the headwaters of the Yellowstone. A lake…lies embosomed among high precipitous mountains… Geysers spout up seventy feet high, with a terrific hissing noise, at regular intervals. Waterfalls are sparkling, leaping, and thundering down the precipices, and collect in the pool below. 'Great Springs' so hot that meat is readily cooked in them, and as they descend on successive terraces, afford at length delightful baths." - Lt. J.W. Gunnison, 1852  Yellowstone is the world's first national park for a good reason - IT'S
GEOLOGY! Geysers, fumaroles, mud pots, and mineralized hot springs are
heated by the Yellowstone Hot Spot with molten rock only a couple miles
below the Earth's surface. Buffalo roam across ancient lakebeds; elk, bear
and wolves inhabit lodgepole-pine-cloaked glaciated landscapes; while
moose, bald eagles, and swans prefer wetlands. One-day tour takes us from
Jackson through Grand Teton National Park and around the southern loop in
Yellowstone. Sites include Old Faithful and other geyser basins,
Yellowstone Falls, and the wildlife-rich Hayden Valley and Yellowstone
Lake. Two-day tour also explores Mammoth Hot Springs, the gorgeous Lamar
Valley, with more time for exploring other sites of interest. An overnight
stay and 5-star dinner at Chico Hot Springs is a destination in itself. |
