Utah State Capitol Utah State Capitol
The Utah State Capitol is located in Salt Lake City. The size and shape of the entire building is comparable to the Capitol Hill in Washington. The top of the state government building is a Byzantine dome, which is dazzling and brilliant under the sunlight. The interior of the building is more magnificent and exquisitely crafted. The walls are made of smooth marble, the ceiling is painted with exquisite murals, and countless finely carved figures stand among them, lifelike. In addition, because Utah is also known as the "Beehive State", a sculpture of a beehive is placed prominently in front of the building, which is one of the must-take photos for tourists here.
Temple Square Temple Square
Salt Lake City, Utah, is the global base of Mormonism. It is a group of buildings belonging to the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) in the center of Salt Lake City, Utah, including the Salt Lake City Temple, Salt Lake City Chapel, Salt Lake City Assembly Hall, Seagull Monument and two visitor centers, covering an area of 10 acres.
Depart from Salt Lake City in the morning and drive to Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park. The endless grassland hills along the way; the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains; the towering snow-capped mountains; the endless rivers; and the hard-working cowboys are all refreshing. The colorful Grand Prismatic Hot Spring, the world-famous Old Faithful, the romantic and charming Morning Glory Hot Spring... exciting events are coming one after another!
Itinerary:
Salt Lake City → Yellowstone National Park (5 hours, go to Grand Prismatic Hot Spring, Old Faithful Geyser, Morning Glory Hot Spring, Fountain Trail and other attractions. The tour guide will be adjusted according to the actual situation of the day, please refer to the actual arrangement)
Special complimentary meal of Yellowstone game (fresh Yellowstone trout, high-antler venison, and buffalo meat caught on the day)
Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park
It is located in the Rocky Mountains, known as the "Backbone of America", on the lava plateau between the Northern Rockies and the Central Rockies in the western United States. The geothermal wonder is his symbol, a primitive landscape tempered by water and fire. The natural landscape in the park is divided into five major areas, namely Mammoth Area, Roosevelt Area, Canyon Area, Geyser Area and Lake Area. Each of the five scenic areas has its own characteristics. Beyond the limits of what human art can express, it is the most wonderful and spectacular beauty on the face of the earth.
The Grand Prismatic Hot Spring in Yellowstone
Also known as the Colorful Pool, it is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world, with a width of 75-91 meters and a depth of 49 meters. About 2,000 liters of hot water at 71 degrees gushes out every minute. The amazing thing about Grand Prismatic Hot Springs is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from emerald green to golden orange due to microorganisms such as algae and pigment-containing bacteria living in the mineral-rich water. In mid-summer, the chlorophyll content is relatively low, so the lake appears a brilliant orange, red or yellow color. But in the cold winter months, due to lack of light, these microorganisms will produce more chlorophyll to suppress the color of carotenoids, so the water body will appear a deep dark green.
Old Faithful Geyser Old Faithful Geyser
Old Faithful Geyser is named for its consistent and regular eruptions. Currently, it erupts approximately every 60 to 110 minutes. Each eruption lasts for four to five minutes. The water column reaches a height of more than 40 meters. It is spectacular and never stops. The Old Faithful Visitor Center will lay out the eruption timetable in advance, so you can check the eruption time first and then go sightseeing with confidence.
After breakfast, drive to Bridge Bay Marina and drive a boat to enjoy the alpine lake scenery of Yellowstone Lake. As the largest alpine lake in Yellowstone Park, it is the best spot to hang out with bald eagles in the early morning. The gifts of nature are vividly displayed in Yellowstone National Park. It is located on the largest active volcanic crater in the world and has more than 10,000 geothermal phenomena. Coupled with a unique biological ecological environment, you will see mist-shrouded canyons, thousands of horses rushing waterfalls, colorful hot springs, American buffalo and wild deer strolling leisurely in the grassland, and water birds inhabiting the waterside.
Itinerary:
Self-driving boat ride on Yellowstone Lake (2 hours, included in the price) → Yellowstone National Park (8 hours, stop at Mud Crater, Hayden Valley, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Artist Point, Upper Falls, Lower Falls, Norris Geyser, Eye of the Earth and other attractions. The scenic spot arrangement will be adjusted according to the actual situation of the day)
Special instructions:
1. Due to climate reasons, there may still be drifting ice in Yellowstone Lake in May. Considering safety issues, the Huangshi Lake self-driving boat project will be replaced by a horse riding project (90 minutes), please understand.
Yellowstone Lake Self-Driving Boat Bridge Bay Marina Boat Driving Experience
By driving a small boat on the lake, you can easily take photos of all kinds of enchanting movies, and once again experience the charm of Yellowstone Park from a water perspective.
Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park
It is located in the Rocky Mountains, known as the "Backbone of America", on the lava plateau between the Northern Rockies and the Central Rockies in the western United States. The geothermal wonder is his symbol, a primitive landscape tempered by water and fire.

Each of the five scenic areas has its own characteristics. Beyond the limits of what human art can express, it is the most wonderful and spectacular beauty on the face of the earth.
Mud Volcano Area Mud Volcano Area
It is located in the eastern part of Yellowstone Park, not far to the north of Yellowstone Lake. Most of the fountains here spout not water, but mud, and the ground shakes every time it erupts. Next to the mud volcano, colorful grass grows, which looks extremely soft and gorgeous.
Hayden Valley Hayden Valley
The area, located on the edge of the Yellowstone Caldera, is an open grassland with relatively little geothermal activity. Because there are rivers passing through and the water and grass are luxuriant, it is one of the areas with more wild animals in Yellowstone Park. The main animals include bison, elk, black bears, brown bears, and coyotes. Wild ducks, pelicans and other birds can often be seen in the Yellowstone River. There are viewing spots along the road, and there are often many tourists watching animals with binoculars.
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
The 97-kilometer-long Yellowstone River is said to be "the only river in the United States without dams." Here, the river water suddenly becomes rapid, breaking away with splashing water, forming two magnificent waterfalls, roaring into the Grand Canyon and heading straight to the Pacific Ocean. These two waterfalls: one is the upper waterfall, which is 33 meters high; the other is the lower waterfall, which is 94 meters high. It looks like it was painted with gorgeous oil paints. Even if it is exposed to wind and sun without scruples, the colors are still so gorgeous. These "stubborn" colors will neither be washed away nor faded by wind and sun. People who have been here marvel at the magical power of nature.
Artist Point Artist Point
The scenery here is particularly spectacular. The canyon is more than three hundred feet deep. The walls of the canyon are mainly yellow, mixed with black, red and pink, and green pine trees. The colors are mixed and not chaotic, looking like a peacock's tail in full bloom, or like the pointillism of a Romantic painter who dotted several layers of colors in the same place.
Upper Yellowstone Falls
The upper waterfall is located 400 meters upstream of the larger Yellowstone Falls. The waterfall flows vertically down the volcanic cliff with a height of 33 meters. The originally uneven volcanic rocks below the waterfall have been smoothed by hundreds of years of erosion by the waterfall.
Lower Yellowstone River Falls
The Lower Yellowstone Falls were formed by the erosion of softer rocks by the Yellowstone River. To appreciate the majesty of the Lower Falls, the observation deck is the best observation point. Artist Point is another classic viewing point of the canyon and the Lower Falls.
Norris Geyser Basin Yellowstone Norris Geyser Basin
Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most erratic series of geysers in Yellowstone Park. It has been dormant for a long time and only erupts once in a long time (the last eruption was in 2008). It once set a record of eruption height of 380 feet. The geysers in this area are also quite rich in color, ranging from crystal clear blue-green to soft milk-like blue-white.
Today we will continue to visit the mysterious and quiet West Thumb in Yellowstone National Park, and enjoy four famous geothermal phenomena up close in the largest bay of Yellowstone Lake. Then go to Grand Teton National Park and visit the Lake Jackson Hotel. Five U.S. presidents have stayed or dined here. It is an excellent place to view the Grand Teton Mountains! Afterwards, we went to the hinterland of Grand Teton National Park and took a rafting rubber boat for a 10-mile journey to fully explore the landscape of Grand Teton National Park! We have carefully arranged the best rafting companies and routes for you. This is also the number one expert-level experience in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem on the entire network! Then go to the famous Antler Park in the town of Jackson. We also have a surprise in the evening - watch the vast Milky Way starry sky from the best location in Grand Teton National Park!

West Thumb Geyser Basin West Thumb Geyser Basin
The West Thumb Geyser Basin is located on the edge of Yellowstone Lake. It was formed due to the collapse of the earth's crust 150,000 years ago. The combination of hot fountains and lake water creates a wonderful smoky landscape: the smoky place is the steam of the hot springs, and the green waves are filled with Yellowstone lake water. It complements the blue sky and white clouds in the background, forming a landscape that is different from other hot spring areas in Yellowstone. This is equivalent to the bay of Yellowstone Lake. Many geysers gather here. The colors of the water spout are various, some are transparent green, and some are dark black like cement color. Many water spouts present a beautiful illusion.
Grand Teton National Park Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park was established on February 26, 1929. There are 300 kilometers of trails in Grand Teton National Park. There are many lakes in the park, including Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake. Most of Grand Teton National Park is located within the Rocky Mountains, and the natural landscape is spectacular. In addition, Grand Teton National Park also has extremely rich biological resources, including American bison, grizzly bears, black bears, moose, etc.
Wild and Scenic River Raft Trip on Snake River in Grand Teton National Park
Floating on the ten-mile-long Grand Teton's quiet river, you'll be mesmerized by the lush forests and various flowers on both sides of the river, as if you're in another world. To provide the most comfortable and safe rafting experience, a boat can only accommodate a maximum of 12 people. We can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Grand Teton on the rafting boat and take unique pictures of the lake. (The river and lake are very gentle, suitable for guests over 6 years old)
Elk Antler Arches Park
The park is not big, with giant arches made of antlers in the four directions of east, west, north and south. The antlers are all top quality, but these antlers are not obtained from hunting. Every winter, a large number of elk come from the mountains to the National Elk Refuge in Jackson to spend the winter. In the spring, the antlers naturally fall off and are renewed. After the elk leave, countless treasures are left everywhere.
Today we will continue to visit Grand Teton National Park. The eternal glaciers cover the majestic Grand Teton Mountains, surrounded by blue skies and forests, reflected on the virgin Jackson Lake at the foot of the mountains, and the Snake River meanders through it, like a fairyland. Looking at the Grand Teton Mountains from the Great Plains at an altitude of 6,000 feet, you will still miss the beauty of the Grand Teton part. Have you ever thought about what a beautiful scene it would be to be on top of a snow-capped mountain, overlooking the earth from an 11,000-foot mountain pass? Today we have arranged a niche itinerary for you on the Top of the World Cable Car Trail. The 360-degree views will keep you going! There is also a famous waffle house on the top of the mountain. It is recommended to try the famous "Top of the World" strawberry waffle, paired with a cup of hot chocolate, it has a unique flavor! In the afternoon, go to the world-famous natural hot springs to relax and get rid of the fatigue of the journey. The scenery surrounded by the surrounding mountains is also very pleasant.
