Experience Everything Yellowstone Has to Offer

There’s so much to see and do in the vast landscapes of Montana near Yellowstone National Park. With this year’s opening of our North Yellowstone–Paradise Valley camp, you can now experience the best of Yellowstone at two Under Canvas locations.

On the west side, view famous geysers like Old Faithful and hike through serene meadows with beautiful alpine streams. On the north side, see geothermal hot springs, the park’s best wildlife spots, and stunning Paradise Valley. Here’s an itinerary for the ultimate Yellowstone adventure.

Land at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport and drive 45 minutes to Under Canvas North Yellowstone–Paradise Valley. Check in to your upscale safariinspired accommodations, then grab coffee and lunch from the lobby tent before heading off on your first day of adventure in Yellowstone National Park.

In the park, drive to Mammoth Hot Springs and stop at Albright Visitor Center to have your National Parks Passport stamped. Enjoy one of the many easy trails or boardwalks that lead to the natural hot springs, or take a short drive to the incredible travertine terraces and limestone formations created by geothermal activity.

Head back to Under Canvas North Yellowstone–Paradise Valley, then wrap up your day with riverside al fresco dining, complimentary s’mores, acoustic live music, and more.

Wake up early and enjoy complimentary guided yoga, then fuel up with breakfast and a fresh cup of coffee or latte. After breakfast, spend a relaxing few hours on a Luxury Scenic River Trip (which can be planned through the Under Canvas Adventure Concierge).

This relaxing trip departs directly from camp, floats along tranquil Yellowstone River, and provides numerous opportunities to enjoy picture-perfect views of the Gallatin Mountains and wildlife such as bison, osprey, and more.

Return to camp and watch the sunset as you enjoy a local ale, Montana-farmed smoked meats, or any of our locally and sustainably sourced menu options.

FUN FACT:

The rivers in Montana are fed entirely by snowmelt and are warm enough to swim in during June, July, and August. Be sure to bring your bathing suits!

Check out of Under Canvas North Yellowstone–Paradise Valley and head south toward the park’s West Entrance. On the way, stop at the iconic Old Faithful Geyser, located in Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin in the southwest section of the park. Its viewing area is the most accessible and visitor-friendly in the park so it makes for a great pit stop between camps!

After visiting Old Faithful Geyser, head to Under Canvas West Yellowstone in the afternoon to relax in a hammock by the Madison River and marvel at the incredible scenery. At happy hour, grab a cocktail from the Bronco Bar, a restored horse-trailer-turned-full-service bar. After a locally sourced dinner, you can complete the evening by enjoying the hum of live acoustic music on the outdoor patio.

Enjoy breakfast from our café-style dining restaurant, Embers, then get ready for an unforgettable horseback-riding adventure (which can be planned through the Under Canvas Adventure Concierge). Conveniently located close to camp, the rides will lead you to breathtaking views of Hebgen Lake, the Continental Divide, the city of West Yellowstone, and Yellowstone National Park.

FUN FACT:

At our West Yellowstone camp, you’ll likely be welcomed by rescue horses from our neighboring property and may see a family of moose drinking from the Madison River. Please be respectful of the wildlife and maintain your distance so we can continue to peacefully live alongside them.

After a thrilling day of adventure, head back to your upscale safari-inspired tent and tuck into a plush king-size bed for your last night under the Montana stars.

With the addition of Under Canvas Bryce Canyon in the summer of 2022, you can now road-trip through the Southwest’s most epic national parks and monuments via the Grand Circle—stopping at some (or all!) of Under Canvas’ five camps along the way: Grand Canyon, Moab, Zion, Lake Powell–Grand Staircase, and Bryce Canyon.

Our suggested 1,100-mile itinerary allows you to choose your own adventure as you travel among the spectacular vistas, majestic red rock formations, and picturesque sunsets of the American Southwest. Discover otherworldly arches at Arches National Park, hoodoos at Bryce Canyon, slot canyons at Zion, the rugged landscape of Grand Staircase-Escalante, and the grandeur of Grand Canyon—all while staying at Under Canvas camps beneath some of the darkest star-filled skies in the country. Start the circle wherever is most convenient for you, and spend a week or more exploring the national parks and natural wonders in and around our camps along the way.
