and most colorful hot springs in the world.

Today you'll continue hiking through the national park, taking in Yellowstone's vistas and learning about the history of the national park along the way. Your naturalist hiking guide will be on the lookout for wildlife throughout, and can tell you about the recent succesful reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone and the myriad positive impacts this had on the ecosystem. You'll have a picnic lunch in a scenic meadow.
Towards the end of today's hike, you'll make your way out of the backcountry and descend back to the trailhead. Tonight you'll spend the evening at a luxury safari style glamping site, amongst a field of horses.
