Monument Geyser Basin is Yellowstone’s most unusual geyser basin, with its odd, chimney shaped, thermal features. The basin is also on top of a hill, and our guide will take you hiking up there. The hike is pretty strenuous, although not very long. With any luck, you may have the entire basin to yourself!

The Monument Geyser Basin hike is about 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometres) one way, with a vertical gain of 700 feet (213 metres). Apart from the chimney shaped thermal features, when you get there, you will find that what also sets the area apart is that there are no boardwalks or trails or fencing. You can go pretty much where you want, and our skilled guide will help you to exercise the appropriate precautions.

Tour Notes

We regret that cancellations and changes will not be accepted, and refunds will not be given. Half the amount may be charged to your card when you make the booking, and the balance will be charged 45 days from the tour date. An attempted or purported cancellation will result in the entire amount being charged to your card immediately.

The credit/debit card you used must be with you when you travel, and should be in your name. If you are booking for someone else, please let us know as you will need to complete the credit card authorization documentation, which we will send you.

If there are six or fewer people on the tour, a shuttle may transport you between Salt Lake and east Idaho, where one of our guides will pick you up and take you to Yellowstone. If this happens, the departure and drop off locations will be the Salt Lake City airport and a central Salt Lake downtown location. If there are more than six people, a dedicated guide and vehicle will transport you all the way.

This is a small group tour, with the possible exception of the shuttle between Salt Lake and east Idaho, where a bus may be used. The shuttle may make several stops on the way to east Idaho.

Parts of this tour may be provided by other vendors we use.
