When President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yellowstone in 1903, he proclaimed it “absolutely unique in the world.” Embracing the idea of natural beauty as a national asset, he championed the idea of national parks, building a priceless

legacy for generations to follow. In the northwest corner of Wyoming, two treasured parks offer an immersion in scenery and wildlife unparalleled in the Lower 48. This classic small-group guided tour takes us into the natural habitat of elk and buffalo herds, moose, coyotes, foxes, bald eagles, and of course, bears and wolves. See Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks as you've never seen them before. From plains to peaks, Yellowstone Country still works strong magic.
