Geyser’s & Grizzlies: Welcome to Yellowstone
Where Earth breathes fire and the wild still roams; Yellowstone is like nature’s greatest hits album—geysers, waterfalls, wildlife, and surreal landscapes all packed into one epic park.
Here are some standout experiences to consider:
🌋 Geothermal Marvels
- Old Faithful: The iconic geyser erupts roughly every 90 minutes—classic, reliable, and dramatic.
- Grand Prismatic Spring: A technicolor hot spring that looks like it was painted by a rainbow.
- Mudpots & Fumaroles: Bubbling, steaming earth at places like Norris Geyser Basin and Artist Paint Pots.
🏞️ Scenic Wonders
- Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone: With its towering cliffs and the thunderous Lower Falls, it’s a must-see.
- Upper Falls: A 109-foot cascade that’s especially stunning from Artist Point.
- Virginia Cascades: A quieter, forest-framed waterfall perfect for a peaceful stop.
🐻 Wildlife Watching
- Lamar Valley: Often called “America’s Serengeti,” it’s prime territory for spotting bison, wolves, and bears.
- Hayden Valley: Another hotspot for wildlife, especially at dawn or dusk.
🚶♀️ Outdoor Adventures
- Hiking: Over 1,100 miles of trails—from easy boardwalks to backcountry treks. Before you head out on your trek, be sure to visit the Backcountry Conditions for an interactive park map, current conditions of park trails, and information about trail closures.
- Horseback Riding & Biking: Explore the park from a saddle or two wheels.
- Boating & Fishing: Try Lewis Lake or Yellowstone Lake for a serene water escape.
