Exploration of Yellowstone actually begins from the Grand Teton National Park. As soon as the guide choices you up from your hotel in Teton Village or Jackson, you will be in Grand Teton Park in no time. The tour guide will give you a brief history of the Tetons. Also, if there is wildlife along the way, he or she will stop for you to take pictures.
Once you get to the West Thumb of Yellowstone, the guide will take you to the Lake Yellowstone shore. There the guide will explain certain things about the lake. He will also comment about Isa Lake, and take you to the Old Faithful Geyser. After you visit the Grand Prismatic Spring and the Fountain Paint Pots, you will relax by the Firehole River for lunch.
The next driving tour will take you to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. There you will see the two largest waterfalls inside Yellowstone. Hayden Valley is not far from the Artist Point. There you could see lots of bison. At times, you will also find elk, Grizzlies, black bears, and coyotes. The next stop will be the Mud Volcano and the Dragon's Mouth. Finally, you will stop at the historic Lake Yellowstone Hotel for bathrooms and the gift shop.
