Elk bugling is at its peak during the fall as large bull elk round up and guard their harems. Bears are stocking up on food for their long winter naps, and wolves are hunting in the Lamar and Hayden Valleys due to the large concentrations of elk. Participants travel to the best sites for viewing elk, bears and wolves and enjoy the magnificent autumn colors of Yellowstone.

Yellowstone: Old Faithful Expeditions
 Our Old Faithful Expedition is a wonderful opportunity to explore the wildlife, scenery and history of the world's first National Park. The tour begins in Jackson and heads north via the inner loop road of Grand Teton National Park. This route provides spectacular views of the majestic Teton Mountain Range along with its splendid waterways. Elk, moose, mule deer, antelope, coyotes, eagles, osprey and trumpeter swans frequent many of these areas. Next we enter Yellowstone National Park and head directly to Old Faithful. Old Faithful erupts as your wildlife guide takes you on a walking tour of the Upper Geyser Basin. Bison and elk are often seen wandering among the hot pools, steam vents and geysers. After lunch in the historic Old Faithful Inn, we head back toward Jackson and may stop at Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb Geyser Basin or Oxbow Bend.
