The minibus hums awake before dawn back in Cody, Wyoming; coffee cups warm in gloved hands as the road unspools toward the smells of geothermal steam and pine. By midmorning the land changes—sage flats open into meadows, meandering rivers glance off basalt rims, and the air grows thin and electric with underground heat. On a single day this guided Lower Loop tour moves like a curator through Yellowstone’s most iconic scenes: bubbling paint pots, the rainbow halo of Grand Prismatic, the thunder of Lower Falls, and the punctual spout of Old Faithful.
