While staying at a Wyoming dude ranch, there are many activities for families to partake in. We think that Yellowstone National Park is a must see for kids and adults alike, and Yellowstone’s lower loop is a great day trip from the Gros Ventre River Ranch! Most of our guests choose to have an early breakfast at the ranch, and head out to Yellowstone in the morning (with delicious GVRR picnic lunches!) From there, you can choose to drive the Lower Loop clockwise or counterclockwise, and be back to the ranch in time for a hot supper. Listed below are just some of the incredible sights in Yellowstone’s Lower Loop:
Lower Yellowstone Falls, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone
A magnificent view of the Lower Falls
The Old Faithful Geyser
The world famous Old Faithful geyser!
Old Faithful Inn
The Old Faithful Inn is a great place to stop and grab lunch (if you don’t have a GVRR picnic lunch!)
Yellowstone Lake

Mud Volcano
