Learn all about visiting Yellowstone National Park

I have only had the opportunity to visit one area in Wyoming, and that was Yellowstone National Park. I look forward to going back to explore more that Wyoming has to offer.

Be prepared for a bison traffic jam

Hardly 10 minutes into my time in Yellowstone National Park, I came headfirst with a bison traffic jam. Luckily for me, they were headed the other direction, so I got to watch them pass by instead of being stuck behind them. The park ranger helped keep them safe and moving along.

Watch Old Faithful Erupt

No trip to Yellowstone National Park would be complete without seeing the old trusty Old Faithful erupt. They even have a countdown clock that's fairly accurate because of how predictable Old Faithful is. This eruption happens very frequently, so you won't need to plan too much to see it happen.

Check out all the colorful hot springs

All over the park, you'll find lots of different hot springs. Many are colorful. Many are constantly boiling. And you can even go to the largest hot spring in the United States, Grand Prismatic! Keep it mind it may be steamy, so you may not see much unless you wait for a break in the steam.

Tips for visiting Yellowstone National Park

  • Recreate responsibly - stay on designated paths and follow the rules of the park.
  • Respect the wildlife - they are wild, let's keep them that way. Stay the appropriate distance away.
  • Leave no trace - respect the land and pick up after yourself. Throw your trash in designated bins, and if there are none, take it with you and throw it away at home.
  • Enjoy yourself - have a great time in this beautiful national park.
