This tour is designed for those who really want to see Yellowstone, but have very limited time to do so.
On this 24 hour Yellowstone tour you can be back in Salt Lake, from Yellowstone, only 24 hours from the time you left! In other words, you can leave Salt Lake as late as 10.30 p.m. on the first night, and spend the night at an Idaho hotel. The second day is spent touring Yellowstone's lower loop, and that afternoon you start making you way back to Salt Lake as soon as you get out of the park. You will be back in Salt Lake by about 9.15 p.m. on the second day.
Although you can depart Salt Lake as late as 10 p.m., we suggest you plan your flight so you leave the Salt Lake airport no later than 6 p.m. If you depart later than 6 p.m. you won't get much sleep that night! Shuttle departure times:
10 a.m. (all the way to West Yellowstone today). 12 p.m. 1.30 p.m. 3 p.m. 4.30 p.m. 6 p.m. 8.30 p.m. 10.30 p.m.
Travel time is about 4.5 hours.
Please note your flight arrival time in the comments section, when you check out.
Shortly after you reach West Yellowstone you will head into the park for your tour. A sack lunch is included in the tour price today. You can select lunch options at check out. Please note that the Yellowstone park entry is excluded and you will need to pay this when entering the park. The cost is $15 per person.
You will now be taken from West Yellowstone to Rexburg in Idaho, where there will be a short wait for the shuttle back to Salt Lake City.
The shuttle departs at about 4.30 p.m., arriving at the Salt Lake City airport by about 9.15 p.m. There is also a drop off opposite Temple Square in the downtown Salt Lake area a little later.
Please be aware that this part of the trip is unescorted. What this means is that although you obviously have a driver with you, there is no tour guide, the way there was when you were inside Yellowstone. The shuttle also makes several stops along the way, at small towns.
