Experience one of Yellowstone National Park’s most iconic hikes on this guided 6 to 9 km's Grand Canyon Rim and Loop adventure, complete with expert interpretation, stunning photo stops, and a relaxing trailside lunch. Your professional guide meets you at the Upper Falls View Pavilion at 8:00am, where you’ll enjoy a light breakfast snack and hot coffee, tea, or cocoa before setting out. All essentials—bear spray, binoculars, trekking poles, backpacks, and park entrance fees—are included for a seamless, stress-free day. Begin at the thundering Upper Falls, the dramatic starting point of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Continue to world-famous Artist Point for unforgettable views of the 308-foot Lower Falls framed by vibrant canyon walls. Leaving the crowds behind, venture onto quieter dirt trails along the canyon rim before entering a tranquil pine forest on the way to Ribbon Lake.
The route then leads through a thermal basin dotted with mud pots and steaming vents, before reaching serene Clear Lake—an ideal stop to rest, refuel, and take in the surroundings. Along the way, your guide shares stories about geology, wildlife, and the park’s natural history. Wildlife sightings are common, especially in the expansive Hayden Valley, where bison roam and bears or wolves are occasionally spotted from a safe distance. The hike concludes along the Yellowstone River, where calm waters turn to rapids before plunging over the Upper Falls, wrapping up an unforgettable Yellowstone experience.
