Discover Yellowstone (lower loop) on a small group day trip from Bozeman. Explore Fountain Paint Pot, Grand Prismatic Spring, Old Faithful, and Yellowstone Lake with the scenic cruise.
The Fountain Paint Pots are located in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. They are a collection of geothermal features that include bubbling mud pots, hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles. The mud pots are especially notable for their changing colors, which result from the varying amounts of iron and other minerals in the mud. This area offers a fascinating glimpse into the dynamic geothermal activity of Yellowstone and showcases the diverse and colorful geothermal features that the park is famous for.
Grand Prismatic Spring, is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is famous for its vibrant colors, which resemble a rainbow. These colors are produced by microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The center of the spring is a deep blue, due to the high temperature of the water. Grand Prismatic Spring is one of Yellowstone's most iconic and beautiful geothermal features.
Old Faithful is one of the most famous geysers in the world, located in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It is renowned for its highly predictable eruptions, which occur approximately every 90 minutes. Each eruption shoots boiling water up to 185 feet into the air and lasts between 1.5 to 5 minutes. This reliability makes Old Faithful a popular attraction for visitors who come to witness its impressive displays of geothermal activity.
Yellowstone Lake is the largest high-altitude lake in North America, situated in Yellowstone National Park. It covers approximately 136 square miles and is known for its pristine, clear waters. The lake sits at an elevation of 7,732 feet and is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. In addition to its natural beauty, Yellowstone Lake is home to diverse wildlife and offers recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and hiking.
Come aboard the Lake Queen II for a one-hour guided tour of the largest freshwater lake above 7,000 feet in the United States. The boat departs the Bridge Bay Marina to cruise on Yellowstone Lake with up to seven different times to choose from. Along the way you will learn about the Lake Area Historical District, the remains of the SS E.C. Waters which you will view, and other amazing information that this area holds. You will be watching for eagles, shorebirds, and occasional elk and bison sightings on the shoreline.
