Yellowstone National Park Guided Tours

While Yellowstone National Park’s 2.2 million acres are impossible to explore in one trip (and perhaps even one lifetime), there’s no better way to scratch its spectacular surface than with a guided private safari. Departing directly from Montage Big Sky, the Yellowstone experience begins at the park’s west entrance, which offers the closest access to geyser country. Guests will marvel at the famed Old Faithful geyser, the Norris Geyser Basin, the Artist Point overlook, the mesmerizing Mud Volcano and the colorful kaleidoscope of the Grand Prismatic Spring. Along the way, you may also spot bison, bighorn sheep, elk and moose.
