Arriving in Yellowstone National Park is like stepping into the Discovery Channel. Mountain peaks soar, reaching for the sky. Canyons, a palette of earth tones, are peppered with geysers, fumaroles, steam vents and mud pots. Rushing rivers feed crystalline lakes and mighty forests make a comfortable home for grizzly bears, moose, elk, bison, wolves, deer, coyote and eagles.
Hike unpopulated backcountry trails, geyser basin boardwalks and mountaintop lookouts. Raft the scenic Yellowstone, the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states. Ride horses high into the Absaroka Mountains alongside 4th generation Montana cowboys. Learn both sides of the bison migration and wolf re-introduction controversies shaping today’s Yellowstone, and why Chico is a favorite haunt of Hollywood celebrities.
Accommodations:
Night 1: Old Faithful Inn.
This historic inn was built during the winter of 1903-04 and is one of the last log hotels in use in the United States. The lobby of this National Historic Landmark features a 65-foot ceiling and a massive rhyolite fireplace. An imposing building nearly 700 feet in length, the inn was constructed from massive wooden logs. The core of Old Faithful Inn is 7 stories high and features a giant fireplace, rustic balconies with rocking chairs and a visitor’s center in the lobby.
Night 2: Lake Yellowstone Hotel.
Lake Yellowstone Hotel was completed in 1891 and restored to its 1920s grandeur in 1990. The majestic hotel sits on the shore of Yellowstone Lake and is listed on the Register of Historic Places.
Nights 3 - 4: Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel.
This hotel was named after the steaming limestone terraces just above the hotel area. Elk routinely graze outside the hotel around the parade grounds of what was once Fort Yellowstone.
Night 5: Chico Hot Springs Resort.
This rustic-chic inn boasts mineral hot spring-fed pools, extensive gardens, spa services and exceptional dining. The Main Lodge at Chico Hot Springs offers a wide range of accommodations from rustic log cabins to more modern accommodations. In June of 1999 Chico Hot Springs was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
