West Yellowstone based tour options

During our Ridge of the Rockies tour, we will have a rest day in West Yellowstone on 9/11/24 and a rest day in Jackson on 9/13/24. This gives you the perfect opportunity to see Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. You can ride in the parks on your own, in small groups, but PAC Tour does not operate within either park, so make sure to review the both park’s rules & map to familiarize yourself where you can get food & water.

West Yellowstone & Jackson also have many different companies that run tours of the parks, most of the Yellowstone tours are divided into upper or lower. The upper tour will give more time in the mountains and steep canyons of Yellowstone, there is not as much wildlife or volcanic activity here, but the views are incredible. The lower tours will take you through most of the bubble pots, geysers, and hot springs, there are tons of buffalo and other wildlife in this section.

Most of the companies that run tours base their price on the size of your group - the more people you have, the cheaper per person it will be. A base price for this type is around $250. Listed below are the more affordable options from the company Yellowstone vacation tours below, and the best options in Jackson below as well. Sign up ASAP to guarantee a spot
