10 Tours in West Yellowstone That You Shouldn't Miss

May 31, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

Since the early 1900s, West Yellowstone has provided a tourist-friendly gateway to the geysers of Yellowstone National Park and its resident bison, bears and elk. This Rocky Mountain enclave in southwestern Montana is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, offering snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and dog sledding in winter; trout fishing in fall; birding, biking and hiking in spring; and summer parades and rodeos. In-town eateries and attractions are an easy stroll from local lodging.

We booked a tour with Derek for Yellowstone in August 2020. He did not disappoint! My kids loved him and so did my husband and I. My oldest talked his ear off! Derek is an encyclopedia of knowledge about the area and took us to spots where we saw lots of animals including the rare sighting of a Grizzly and her cub! We got up early for that! We hit a lot of the main spots as well but Derek showed us some not so common areas that were quiet and spectacular! We would have never known these areas were there. I highly recommend doing a tour in Yellowstone with Derek and would absolutely do it again!

It was really fun and very safe even though it was really high up. Our 14 year old went through the course with our 8 year olds and she wished the clips were easier to use, but I liked that it was a little tough. It made it very safe. For older kids it was very easy to operate the clips.
