Yellowstone National Park is filled with breathtaking landscapes, fascinating geothermal features, and abundant wildlife. While iconic spots like Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic Spring draw crowds, there are plenty of hidden gems tucked away in the park, waiting for you to discover. With Old Faithful and Friends Shuttle, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a comfortable ride while exploring these off-the-beaten-path treasures that make Yellowstone truly special.

1. Lamar Valley – The Serengeti of North America

Lamar Valley is often referred to as the "Serengeti of North America" due to its rich wildlife. This expansive valley is one of the best spots for wildlife watching, especially for bison, wolves, and grizzly bears. While it’s a bit off the main tourist routes, our shuttle service can take you to this remarkable area with ease, so you don’t have to worry about navigating the winding roads or finding parking. Don’t forget your camera – Lamar Valley offers some of the best wildlife photo ops in the park!

2. Shoshone Lake – A Peaceful Escape

While Yellowstone’s popular lakes like Yellowstone Lake tend to get all the attention, Shoshone Lake is a tranquil and less-visited alternative. This serene lake is accessible by a short hike from the main road, or you can take our shuttle service to nearby trailheads for a peaceful exploration. Shoshone Lake is also home to the Shoshone Geyser Basin, which is a beautiful but little-known geothermal area. If you’re looking for some solitude and a chance to connect with nature, this is the perfect spot.

3. Hot Springs at Firehole Lake Drive

Firehole Lake Drive is a scenic, lesser-known drive that offers a close-up view of some of Yellowstone’s fascinating geothermal features. While the more famous hot springs like the Grand Prismatic Spring draw crowds, Firehole Lake Drive offers a more tranquil experience. You’ll pass by steaming hot springs, bubbling pools, and even the Firehole Lake, where you can take in the incredible sights without the crowds. It’s the perfect route for those wanting to explore Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders at a slower pace, and Old Faithful and Friends Shuttle can drop you off at key spots along the way.

4. The Black Sand Basin

Black Sand Basin is a hidden gem that’s easy to overlook, but it’s well worth a visit. Located near Old Faithful, this smaller basin is home to colorful hot springs, geysers, and stunning mineral formations. The basin has a more intimate feel compared to the larger geothermal areas in the park, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty without feeling overwhelmed by crowds. Let our shuttle service take you there, so you can experience this peaceful, picturesque spot in comfort.4

5. Cascade Corner – A Waterfall Lover’s Dream

Yellowstone’s waterfalls are famous, but Cascade Corner, located on the Firehole River, offers a more secluded waterfall experience. The area is less trafficked than the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone but boasts stunning cascading falls that are equally impressive. You’ll find numerous spots along the river to sit and enjoy the sounds of the rushing water, surrounded by lush forests. Our shuttle can take you to nearby trailheads where you can explore the area on foot and appreciate the beauty of Yellowstone’s quieter side.
