Glacier Park, Inc.
Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road, which crosses the Continental Divide, ranks as one of the most scenic drives in the country. But its high elevation, sheer terrain and popularity make for frequent traffic jams and make it difficult for a driver to appreciate the spectacular scenery. Glacier Park, Inc. solves this problem by taking over the duty of driving. In its open-top vintage red buses, you'll have the opportunity to admire the stunning vistas while your driver mans the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel. Tours leave from the east, west, or north side of the park daily throughout the summer.

Buffalo Bus Touring Company
If you'd prefer to visit Yellowstone without having to drive in the park, Buffalo Bus Company offers bus tours in the summer and snow coach tours in the winter. A bus will pick you up at your local campground and can arrange a private tour, if none of its preset tours suit your fancy. Standard tours generally include stops at major geysers and scenic vistas and return you to your campground at the end of the day. During the winter, snow coach tours have the further advantage of going safely where cars and snowmobiles cannot. The snow coaches and buses (the same vehicles, fitted with skis/tracks or tires) also offer a wheelchair accessible option, making it easier for disabled guests to experience the outdoors.
