What To Expect

Day 1

Great Salt Lake， Yellowstone NP， Grand Prismatic Spring ， Fountain Paint Pot ， Old Faithful Geyser ，Morning Glory Pool

5 Stops

Great Salt Lake

The Great Salt Lake is the second-largest saltwater lake in the world and the largest inland salt lake in North America. Located in western Utah, it is bordered by the Rocky Mountains to the east and desert landscapes to the west, and is composed of ten islands. The lake is also an important wildlife preserve, attracting millions of migratory birds each year. With a salinity level of up to 25%—second only to the Dead Sea—only highly salt-tolerant algae can survive in its waters, creating a unique and remarkable natural ecosystem.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Grand Prismatic Spring

Also known as the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring or the “Eye of the Earth,” Grand Prismatic Spring is located within Yellowstone National Park at coordinates 44.524569, -110.837975. With a diameter of approximately 100 meters, it is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. The spring measures about 75–91 meters in width, reaches a depth of 49 meters, and has water temperatures as high as 85°C. It discharges roughly 2,000 liters of 71°C water per minute and was first discovered by explorers in 1839. What makes the Grand Prismatic Spring truly remarkable is its vivid coloration, which changes with the seasons. In spring, the surface shifts from emerald green to brilliant orange-red hues. During midsummer, reduced chlorophyll levels cause the water to display vibrant shades of orange, red, or yellow. In winter, limited sunlight results in a deep, dark green appearance—creating a dramatic and ever-changing natural spectacle.

40 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Artist Point

Also known as the “Artist Paint Pots,” Artist Paint Pots is named for its rich colors and ever-changing geothermal formations, making it one of Yellowstone’s most distinctive thermal areas. This site brings together four classic geothermal features—hot springs, mud pots, fumaroles, and small geysers. Walking along the boardwalk, visitors can observe bubbling mud pools, steaming vents releasing clouds of heat, and vivid mineral deposits that paint the landscape in striking hues. The entire area resembles a natural artist’s palette and stands as a representative highlight of Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Old Faithful

Old Faithful Geyser is one of the most famous geysers in Yellowstone National Park, renowned for its remarkably regular eruptions—hence the name “Old Faithful.” It was named during the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition in 1870 and is the first geyser in Yellowstone to have been officially named. Today, Old Faithful erupts approximately every 90 minutes. Each eruption lasts about 4–5 minutes, sending a powerful column of hot water soaring more than 40 meters (over 130 feet) into the air. Its consistent and uninterrupted activity creates a truly spectacular sight. Together with the nearby Old Faithful Inn, the geyser is part of the designated Old Faithful Historic District.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Morning Glory Pool

Morning Glory Pool is located at the far end of the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. It is named for the vivid, morning-glory–like colors that appear along the pool’s rim, making it one of the park’s most iconic hot springs. The pool’s water displays a striking gradient, transitioning from deep blue at the center to shades of yellow and orange toward the edges. Under sunlight, these colors appear layered and highly photogenic. Fed continuously by underground high-temperature thermal springs, Morning Glory Pool maintains extremely hot water. Its unique coloration, combined with the surrounding rising steam and natural scenery, makes it a key highlight along the walking route through the Upper Geyser Basin.

1 hour 15 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Day 2

Yellowstone Lake, Hayden Valley, Yellowstone Canyon, Mammoth Hot Springs, Roosevelt Arch

8 Stops

Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake is often described as an “unparalleled alpine lake.” As the largest lake in Yellowstone National Park and one of the world’s largest high-elevation lakes, it is surrounded by mountains and volcanic landscapes, offering vast scenery and crystal-clear waters that reflect the park’s high-plateau character. With an average water temperature of around 5°C (41°F), the lake undergoes natural water turnover every 8–10 years. Its appearance shifts dramatically with the seasons—from frozen surfaces in winter to mirror-like reflections in summer, and layered colors in late summer—making it a standout destination for experiencing Yellowstone’s pristine natural beauty.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Hayden Valley

Hayden Valley is located along both sides of the road between the Mud Volcano area and Canyon Junction on Yellowstone’s Grand Loop Road. It is the second-best wildlife viewing area in Yellowstone National Park, surpassed only by Lamar Valley. The term “valley” refers to a broad grassland stretching out in front of surrounding forests, with rivers flowing through it—an ideal environment for wildlife to forage, especially during the early morning and evening hours. With the help of binoculars and a bit of patience, visitors often spot wolves or bears here, making Hayden Valley one of the premier locations in Yellowstone for observing wildlife in their natural habitat.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone ranks No. 1 among Yellowstone National Park’s 90 sightseeing attractions and is an absolute must-see highlight. Located between Fishing Bridge and Tower Junction, the canyon was carved by waters flowing out of Yellowstone Lake over an approximately 38-kilometer stretch, forming the dramatic gorge collectively known as the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. It showcases some of the park’s most magnificent and awe-inspiring scenery. The Yellowstone River, stretching about 97 kilometers, is notable as the only undammed river in the United States. Here, the river’s current accelerates sharply, sending spray flying as it plunges over two spectacular waterfalls, roaring down into the canyon below and creating a breathtaking natural spectacle.

40 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Artist Point

Artist Point is located in the eastern area of Yellowstone National Park. From this viewpoint, visitors can take in the dramatic interplay of the Upper and Lower Falls, along with a breathtaking natural palette formed by clear skies, blue-green river waters, white cascades, and yellow-brown canyon walls. The area around Artist Point is also one of the best locations to view the Lower Falls and appreciate the full grandeur of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. With a drop of nearly 100 meters (over 300 feet), the waterfall evokes the imagery of water plunging straight down from great heights. The surrounding canyon walls, streaked with shades of yellow and red like flowing ribbons, glow even more vividly when illuminated by sunlight, creating a scene of striking color and power.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Upper Falls

Upper Yellowstone Falls was formed by the Yellowstone River eroding softer rock layers over time. The Upper Falls, with a drop of 109 feet (approximately 33 meters), can be viewed from the Upper Falls viewpoint and along the Uncle Tom’s Trail area. From here, visitors are able to witness the power and grandeur of Yellowstone’s waterfalls at close range, making it one of the best spots to experience the park’s dramatic river scenery.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Yellowstone Hot Springs

Formed over many years by underground geothermal activity within the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, Yellowstone Hot Springs are rich in a variety of natural minerals believed to be beneficial to the human body. Surrounded by a pleasant and tranquil natural setting, the warm, soothing waters provide a relaxing hot spring experience—helping to relieve travel fatigue and allowing you to fully enjoy a peaceful and rejuvenating moment during the journey.

1 hour • Admission Ticket Included

Mammoth Hot Springs

Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest known carbonate-deposit hot spring system in the world. Its landscape is dominated by travertine terraces, also known as the thermal terrace area, which are divided into the Upper Terraces and Lower Terraces. The thermal waters originate from the Norris Geyser Basin and can reach temperatures of up to 77°C (171°F). Various types of algae thrive in these hot springs, giving rise to vivid hues of brown, orange, red, and green. As the continuously flowing water cascades down the stepped terraces, it creates a magnificent, multicolored natural staircase—an expansive and truly spectacular sight.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Roosevelt Arch

Roosevelt Arch is located at the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It was personally dedicated in 1903 by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, and stands as one of Yellowstone’s most symbolic landmarks. As the only entrance in the park featuring a formal gate structure, the arch bears the famous inscription from the U.S. Congressional Act at its crown: “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.” This phrase represents the core philosophy and mission of Yellowstone National Park—preserving natural wonders for public benefit and enjoyment for generations to come.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Day 3

Yellowstone NP， West Thumb Geyser Basin ，Antler Park，Grand Teton NP ，Utah State Capitol ，Temple Square ，Salt Lake City

5 Stops

West Thumb Geyser Basin

West Thumb Geyser Basin is located along the shoreline of Yellowstone Lake and was formed approximately 150,000 years ago due to a collapse of the Earth’s crust. Where hot springs meet the cool lake waters, a misty and enchanting landscape emerges: rising steam marks the geothermal vents, while shimmering green-blue waves reflect the lake—set against a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds—creating scenery unlike any other thermal area in Yellowstone. This area functions as a bay of Yellowstone Lake, where numerous geysers and hot springs cluster together. The vents display a wide range of colors—some a clear green, others a dark, cement-like black—forming a dreamlike and visually striking mosaic of geothermal features.

1 hour • Admission Ticket Included

Jackson Hole’s Elk Antler Arch

Elk Antler Arches Park is a compact park featuring massive arches made entirely of elk antlers at its east, west, south, and north entrances. All of the antlers are naturally shed “hard antlers” rather than velvet, which some may find a pity given their value—but importantly, none are obtained through hunting. Each winter, large herds of elk migrate from the mountains to the National Elk Refuge near Jackson to overwinter. In spring, they naturally shed and regenerate their antlers. After the elk depart, countless antlers remain scattered across the landscape and are collected to create these iconic arches—turning a natural cycle into a distinctive local landmark.

Grand Teton National Park

Established on February 26, 1929, Grand Teton National Park is named after the highest peak of the Teton Range. The park preserves a near-pristine ecosystem, where some prehistoric plant and animal species continue to survive today. The oldest rocks found here have been dated to approximately 2.7 billion years ago. Centered around Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake, the park’s lakes, rivers, and snow-capped mountains together create a serene landscape south of Yellowstone. Grand Teton National Park is also renowned for its rich wildlife, including American bison, grizzly bears, black bears, and moose, making it a remarkable destination for both scenic appreciation and wildlife observation.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Utah State Capitol

Located in Salt Lake City, Utah State Capitol is comparable in scale and architectural grandeur to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The building is crowned with a Byzantine-style dome that gleams brilliantly under the sunlight, creating a striking and majestic appearance. The interior is equally impressive, showcasing refined craftsmanship and elegance. Polished marble walls, beautifully painted ceilings, and numerous finely sculpted statues bring the space to life with rich detail. As Utah is known as the “Beehive State,” a prominent beehive sculpture stands in front of the Capitol—one of the most popular photo spots for visitors.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Temple Square

Temple Square is a 10-acre (4.0-hectare) architectural complex located in downtown Salt Lake City. It is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Temple Square is home to several iconic landmarks, including the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake Tabernacle, Salt Lake Assembly Hall, the Seagull Monument, and two visitor centers. In 1964, the complex was designated a National Historic Landmark District in recognition of the achievements of Mormon pioneers in settling Utah.
