Dress in comfortable layers for changing conditions. Bring a light jacket for cool mornings and wear closed-toe shoes for boardwalks and uneven terrain; in peak summer, shorts can work well. Consider sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, a rain jacket or umbrella if needed, and a camera.
Bring a national park pass if you plan to enter a national park during your tour.
You’ll have water, Vortex binoculars, and a spotting scope available, and some umbrellas may be available on board.
CoveredGround Tours Office
Guides like Owen, Cody, Justin, and Emma consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely personable, which seems to be a hallmark of this operation. Travelers highlight how much more they got out of Yellowstone by having someone who knew exactly where to look for wildlife, how to navigate the park efficiently, and could weave in the history and science behind what they were seeing. The included picnic lunch gets a surprising number of mentions as a highlight, and the priority parking perk alone saves a real headache. Tours typically cover geysers, hot springs, geothermal features, and prime wildlife zones, with sightings of bison, elk, bears, and more reported regularly. One note worth flagging: international visitors should be aware that US national park entry fees are not included in the tour cost, so budget for that separately. Beyond that, the feedback across a wide range of travelers, including large groups and first-time park visitors, points to a consistently well-run experience worth booking.
