Pro
Unbelievable geothermal features, wildlife encounters, beautiful scenery
Con
Limited variety of food in the park and takes a LONG time to get out
In a nutshell
One of the most amazing places I have visited. So many new natural wonders I had never seen before.
207 Reviews Our last stop was lower Geyser Basin. My grandson went all around the Fountain Paint Pot trail with the guide and was able to see all five kinds of thermal features - bubbling mud pots, hot springs, fumaroles, and steam vents - and of course geysers. I sat at the beginning of the trail and people...
83 Reviews The Lower Terrace of Mammoth Hot Springs was our first stop of the day. We arrived early morning, just as the big tour groups were hurrying people back into the buses. It was a nice time to explore, it is a fairly large area with lots of boardwalks and stairs, it wasn't too hot out that it would...
55 Reviews There are many "one must thing to do" points of interest in Yellowstone National Park but the one that is truly faithful and it is surly old has to be the one and only "Old Faithful Geyser". This geyser is one of about 300 in the park, but you can be sure of when this one will erupt. After a short...
80 Reviews The Yellowstone Grand Canyon isn't the same as the other bigger one in Arizona, and the part that most people photograph are the falls, but they will have another review of their own. This Grand Canyon is a bit more comprehensible for a mere human. The river has eaten away at the rock and eroded its...
16 Reviews The Morning Glory Pool is only 1.4 miles from the Old Faithful Visitors Center by way of a partial boardwalk partial paved path. Along the way you will pass many of Yellowstone?s notable geysers like Grotto Geyser and Castle Geyser. Morning Glory Pool is a hot spring and was named in the 1880's for...
22 Reviews Seeing so many elk in one place (especially in the middle of the village) was a thrilling treat, but what waited for us on the way to Tower Falls just blew us away. The 24-mile drive takes you along the northern ranges of Yellowstone where you can see lots of geological forces, which helped shape...
94 Reviews Welcome to VT. I've been traveling to both Yellowstone and GTNP since '92 - sometimes up to 3 times a year to photograph wildlife and enjoy the park. I'll answer some of your questions but would like to know how long you have to visit both parks? Q #1) I would def. go for September. Vacationers...
49 Reviews After we checked into the hotel and had lunch, we drove down toward the Grand Teton National Park. We stopped at the Kepler Cascades and I went and took some photos while my grandmother waited in the car. I actually got to see them twice because we stopped here again on the Circle of Fire tour. It...
Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Cabins
7 Reviews and 373 Opinions We stayed in the Snow Lodge (not cabins) for 3 nights at the end of our weeklong trip. My father,...
11 Reviews Built in 1897, this was the first store in the Old Faithful area. Adjacent to the Old Faithful Inn, this store’s unique burl wood highlights, original marble counter and fountain stools represent the National Park’s rustic tradition. On the day we arrived, I called for a dinner reservation, but...
6 Reviews Mammoth Hot Springs Dinning Room has great meals in an attractive dinning room. Located near the historic parade grounds of the Mammoth Area, we have never been disappointed with our meals here. The last time we ate lunch here, my husband had bratwurst boiled in beer, then grilled with apple...
17 Reviews North Entrance - Near the gateway community of Gardiner, MT West Entrance - Adjacent to the town of West Yellowstone, MT South Entrance is Jackson, WY East Entrance is Cody, WY Please Check the Road Conditons before you travel Please! Map of Yellowstone
6 Reviews This is a tour run by Xanterra who also run the hotels at the parks. It is not run by the NPS. This is a full day tour, and travels along the lower portion of Yellowstone's figure eight road system. The major sights include the Upper and Lower Geyser Basins, Yellowstone Lake, the Grand Canyon of the...
3 Reviews Since the great fires of 1988, the park has increased the number of animals living in it's confines. The fires opened the forest, allowed for new growth, created more 'edges', where wildlife can live and diversity can florish. The easiest place to see it is along the central road from Norris Geyser...
47 Reviews In every visitor's information packet three things are included a newspaper of current events, a map and of course a warning. It states that Buffalo can weigh 2000 lbs (900 kg) and that they can sprint at 30 miles per hour. In summation do not try their patience. Many visitors have been gored by...
14 Reviews When driving around the park you will undoubtedly see animals. Two problems arise from that. First, many visitors will want to slam on their brakes and take a better look. You may be caught in a traffic jam of people that are just sitting in the middle of the road looking at wildlife. The other...
3 Reviews Waited several hours to see Old Faithful.There are so many other beautiful things to see and do besides wait for it to go off.Once it did,It was not as impressive as I imagined and there are way too many people to make this an enjoyable experience. Go to the Old Faithful Inn and get a seat on the...
4 Reviews If you can, fit in a visit to this neighboring national park, even if it is just a day to drive the park road. From Yellowstone’s South Entrance, the road leads directly into Grand Teton National Park. This park offers spectacular mountain scenery of one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the...
7 Reviews Had a great time peaking into the windows of these buildings.The rustic look of these buildings is so Montana.This area produced more than $30 million dollars in gold in the late 1800's.Some 35,000 people lived in this area at that time.
48 Reviews Bison clean their hides by rolling in the dust. They often roll in the same location, over and over, killing off the grass in that area, causing a shallow, saucer like depression of dirt or sand. In the early spring, however, the moisture from the snow and early rains may have caused the grass to...
22 Reviews I have a lot of memories of the trip we took in 1948. Yellowstone was one of the most outstanding of them, and one of the places that I liked best was Morning Glory pool. I did not see it in 2010 - it used to be right on the road, but now it requires more walking than I could do. My grandson went to...
