Let your curiosity be your guide as you explore Bozeman with Insight Choice. Opt to join a guided walking tour of Bozeman's historic Main Street, once a gathering place for the local indigenous people and an important location in the 1860s gold rush. Enjoy the stories of the colorful characters who helped mold the look and shape of the town as you stroll past historic buildings representing different phases of Bozeman's growth.

Or, visit the Museum of the Rockies, a world-class cultural and natural history museum renowned for displaying an extensive collection of dinosaur fossils. Get up close to the fully mounted Montana Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton and explore exhibits including Welcome to Yellowstone Country, Enduring Peoples and the Paugh History Hall. (B)

Begin in Big Sky Country and travel toward West Yellowstone, a long-standing gateway to the park since the early 1900s. Inside Yellowstone National Park, pause at Gibbon Falls, where the river descends over ancient volcanic rock. Nearby, Norris Geyser Basin reveals the park's most thermally active terrain, with acidic springs, steam vents and unpredictable geysers offering a close look at Yellowstone's powerful geothermal systems. (B/L) Stay: Canyon Lodge, Yellowstone National Park

Set out with Local Expert Adam Brubaker, naturalist and photographer, to track Yellowstone's iconic wildlife in its natural habitat, from elusive wolves to mighty bison. As you scan the vast landscapes, learn how to spot telltale signs of movement and discover the delicate balance that allows these species to thrive.

One of the major geyser basins in Yellowstone, Mammoth Hot Springs terraces invites you to put boots to ground on a gentle hike. The 2.2-mile Mammoth Terraces Trail passes many of the most beautiful and historic hot spring terraces of the park and snakes up to a sweeping outlook.

This afternoon, explore Fort Yellowstone, home to 35 remaining buildings from the 1890s and early 1900s, and visit the Mail Carrier's Cabin, the only 1800s log structure still standing in Mammoth Hot Springs. After this step back in time, your Travel Director reveals more of Yellowstone National Park. (B)

Venture deeper into Yellowstone's heart as you journey to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where the river has carved a spectacular chasm over millennia. From Artist Point, enjoy a view of the towering Lower Falls framed by the canyon's vividly colored volcanic walls.

Later, engage in a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience that brings you face-to-face with the living heritage of the Apsáalooke Nation. Through the words of Charles Yarlott, Jr., gain powerful insight into his people's ancestral connection to this land, passed down through oral history and lived tradition. Discover how the Crow people, known for their horsemanship and warrior traditions, preserved their culture and identity through centuries of upheaval. (B/D) Stay: Old Faithful Snow Lodge

Set off this morning with a hike on the Midway Geyser Loop, strolling along the boardwalks as steam rises from the distant Grand Prismatic Spring - Yellowstone's largest hot spring - and past Turquoise Pool and Opal Pool. Your Travel Director leads the way to Old Faithful showcasing other highlights of the park along the way. After lunch, take your time exploring the many impressive thermal features around Old Faithful, one of Yellowstone's most famous geysers. From rising steam to colourful pools and ponds, choose from a variety of hikes from less than a mile to 3.5 miles. (B)

Conclude your journey in Grand Teton National Park to marvel at the stunning mountain peaks as your Travel Director reveals all the best vistas in this wildlife haven. Cap off your adventure with a private lunch at the National Wildlife Art Museum. In the late afternoon, bid farewell to the national parks to transfer to Jackson Hole Airport arriving at 2:00 PM. Please note this time when booking flights or extend your stay in Jackson. (B/L)
