A GOOD REASON TO GO
Geysers, wildlife & canyon views
Yellowstone brings together erupting geysers, colorful thermal basins, a great river canyon and wildlife-rich valleys. Choose a park region for each day rather than trying to compress the whole park into one circuit.

Before you go
Check entrances, seasonal roads and lodging or tour reservations. Stay on thermal-area boardwalks and give wildlife the required distance.
Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need.
Current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements should be checked with the official operator or managing agency. Photographs can show earlier conditions.
