Lower Yellowstone River Falls
Lower Falls, the biggest waterfall in Yellowstone at 308-feet tall, is the most famous waterfall in the park. The canyon’s colors were created by hot water acting on volcanic rock. It was not these colors, but the river’s yellow banks at its distant confluence with the Missouri River, that occasioned the Minnetaree Indian name which French trappers translated as roche jaune, yellow stone. The canyon has been rapidly downcut more than once, perhaps by great glacial outburst floods.

Fountain Paint Pot
The Fountain Paint Pots is an amazing stop in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Loop. They are mud pots located in Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The Fountain Paint Pots are named for the rich reds, and vivid yellows and browns of the mud in this area. The differing colors are derived from oxidation states of the iron in the mud.

Fantastic day at Yellowstone!
We had a fantastic day touring Grand Tetons and Yellowstone national parks. We saw a huge bull moose, elk, deer, marmot, eagle, and bison. We arrived just in time to see Old Faithful erupt, toured other geysers, saw the beautiful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the lake. We had a nice lunch picnic by a creek and got stopped on our way back by bison crossing the road in front of us. Our guide Phil was wonderful. He knew all the history and science behind all the places we stopped and everything we saw. He needs a raise, he was great. We had great weather and loved seeing so much in one day. Thank you.

What a Blast!
Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about everything we saw. It was a long day but he kept it moving and we dodged all the traffic in the park. One of the most unforgettable things I have ever done.

Fantastic day in Yellowstone
We had a fabulous time on our day trip to Yellowstone. On the way we stopped in Grand Tetons and saw a bull moose. We made it to Old Faithful at the perfect time to see it erupt. We saw more geysers and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone as well as the huge lake. Along the way were deer, elk a marmot and hundreds of bison. Our guide Phil was so knowledgeable, he knew both the history and science about everything. He was great and deserves a raise! Thanks for a wonderful day!

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jackson.
How much does From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $329 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jackson usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jackson is not rushed.
Is From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,663 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Jackson, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour?
+
Around 582 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jackson can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jackson and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Jackson Hole: Yellowstone Old Faithful, Waterfalls and Wildlife Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jackson within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jackson?
+
On Outty we rank every Jackson experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whitewater Rafting in Jackson Hole : Family Standard Raft, Sunrise 4-Hour Grand Teton Wildlife Adventure, Snake River Scenic Float Trip with Teton Views in Jackson Hole. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jackson?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jackson?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
