Coming from the north? Gardiner is your best entry, with quick access to Mammoth Hot Springs and stunning wildlife in the Lamar Valley.
If you love scenic drives, start in Cooke City via the Beartooth Highway. This route offers breathtaking mountain views before reaching Yellowstone’s northeast.

Good to know

Suitable for all physical fitness levels
This is a self-guided driving tour. Transportation and a driver are not included, so you’ll need your own vehicle or rental car.
The tour has five designated starting areas at Yellowstone’s West, North, Northeast, East, and South Entrances. Choose the starting point that best fits your trip in the Shaka Guide app.
Download the Shaka Guide app after booking and use the redemption code provided in your confirmation to access your tour.
Download the tour over strong Wi-Fi before entering the park. Cell service is unreliable in Yellowstone. Once downloaded, the Shaka Guide audio and map work offline, and GPS-triggered narration plays automatically as you drive.
The itinerary is flexible. Stops, viewpoints, and hikes are recommendations, not requirements. Skip stops, stay longer at places that interest you, or explore different sections of the park over multiple days.
Yellowstone National Park requires a separate entrance pass. Park admission is purchased directly from the National Park Service and is not included with the Shaka Guide tour. Entrance requirements and fees may vary by pass type and traveler eligibility.
Most Yellowstone roads and entrances are seasonal. Road access can also change due to weather, construction, wildlife activity, or other conditions. Check current National Park Service road status before your visit.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Always follow posted park regulations and maintain required distances from wildlife.
Hiking is optional. Trail length, difficulty, elevation, and conditions vary throughout the park, so choose activities that match your available time and comfort level.
Accessibility varies by stop. Because this is a self-guided tour using your own vehicle, accessibility depends on your vehicle and the locations you choose to visit. Some boardwalks, trails, viewpoints, and outdoor stops may not be wheelchair or stroller accessible.
Bring a fully charged phone. A car charger is recommended, especially when exploring the park for a full day or across multiple days.
