Yellowstone Creation Adventures

Yellowstone Creation Adventure Tours 2022 

August 21-25 and August 28-September 1

The Yellowstone Creation Adventures for 2022 are a 4-day, 5-night tour of Yellowstone National Park and the greater Yellowstone area. This tour is a chance to engage with some of the most powerful evidence that concerns a global Flood, and resultant Ice Age.

In our second decade of guiding families through the park, we are ready to take you on the trip of a lifetime! Your guide is Patrick Nurre, who brings the experience of over 4 dozen visits into the park. All trips will be conducted from a Biblical perspective (Young Earth, Global Flood perspective).  

Itinerary

(subject to change due to weather, fires, or other unforeseen circumstances):

• Norris Geyser Basin
• Old Faithful and Upper Geyser Basin
• Midway Geyser Basin
• Canyon/Falls
• Mammoth Terraces
• West Thumb Geyser Basin
• Hayden and Lamar Valleys
• Beartooth Pass

We will hit the highlights of our greatest national park, including mud pots, hot springs, geysers, fumaroles and waterfalls. You will also learn about some of the fascinating history of Yellowstone National Park. The tour will include a drive over the magnificent Beartooth Highway that runs between the park and Red Lodge, Montana.  Kids will get their own copy of our Yellowstone Creation Adventure Activity Book (age appropriate, see here, here, and here) and each vehicle will receive a copy of The Geology of Yellowstone by Patrick.  If the kids finish their workbook by the time we are done with the trip, they receive special certificates.

Schedule

Each day, we will meet at a prearranged spot, then begin our tour through the park. Each car will be provided a 2-way radio. We will make frequent stops to observe different features, and do short hikes. All hikes are wheel chair accessible. Typically in the mid-afternoon, we have an unstructured time where you can explore something on your own, or just get some ice cream. Some evenings, we  take in other features that are harder to see during the day because of crowds.

Housing and Food

Housing and food are on your own, but we can help you to figure that out, whether you want to camp or want a hotel. You should be prepared to have lunches picnic style.

FAQ:

Q. Who is this tour for?

A. This tour is for all ages! We have taken children in strollers, and grandparents!

Q. Is there a limit to how many people can go on a tour?

A. We don’t limit the number of people, but we do limit the number of vehicles, as we caravan through the park.

Q. Will there be lots of hiking?

A. We certainly will be walking, but we will not be doing any strenuous hiking. Walking is done primarily on boardwalks, but also on dirt paths.

Q. What about people who need special accommodations or who have limited abilities?

A. We have had people of all abilities go with us on this tour, including people in wheelchairs. 

Q. Will I have time to see things that are not a part of the tour, or to take part in activities offered by the park?

A. Yes. We usually end the tour in early-mid afternoon each day, so that you can do what you like with the rest of the day. On some occasions, we will continue our tour in the evening with those who would like to see something different at a cooler time of day, and when there are less people in the park.

Q. Are food and gas available in the park?

A. Yes. There are restaurants, soda fountains, and cafeterias in the park, as well as grocery stores. And gas is available at several locations in the park. 

Q. What kind of weather should I plan for?

A. The weather in the park can vary quite a bit simply because of the different areas, from plains to mountains. But generally speaking, it is sunny during this time of the year, with occasional afternoon rain. Temperatures can range from the high 30s to the 80s. And this can all happen in one day! So it is best to dress in layers. 

Q. What about the animals? Do I need to be concerned about bears?

A. Food that is left unattended is one of the main reasons that you might see a bear. The park rangers have done a very good job, however, of educating the public about not feeding the bears, as was the custom many years ago. In addition, strict guidelines are enforced concerning food in campgrounds and around the park, in order to discourage bears from interacting with humans. Because of this, it will be quite unusual for you to see a bear. Of course, if you do, please follow the guidelines from the park about how to stay safe when encountering bears, as well as any wildlife in the park.

Q. When do I make my final payment?

A. We usually send out a final payment notice around June 1. At that time, we will give you the link to pay online (with a code if you got an early bird discount), as well as other payment options. Of course, you have the option to pay in full at any time. Please contact us so that we can give you the appropriate link for that.

Thank you both for such a meaningful trip to Yellowstone… My family has thanked me repeatedly for signing up for the trip. If we had shown up to Yellowstone on our own, it would have been so overwhelming as to what to see PLUS it would have been a hollow trip without opening our eyes to “the rocks crying out,”  the evidence of the Flood.  KH

What a wonderful trip! You made Yellowstone such an amazing experience with the truth of the Biblical perspective. JP 

The Yellowstone trip was a most memorable trip.  We had been to Yellowstone before, but we saw so much more this time.  We came away with a far greater appreciation of God’s creation and the fingerprints He left all over it.  The ultimate home school field trip or family outing! CY
