What to Do in Yellowstone National Park

Check out our Yellowstone National Park travel guide for our favorite sights in the park! Click on the photos or links below for more details on each location.

IMG_5018West Thumb Geyser Basin

This is the first area you’ll come to when you enter from the south entrance. Plenty of boardwalks to walk around on and see tons of geysers!

IMG_5081Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

This is one of the most incredible sights in the park, in my opinion. The colors are amazing! Stop and see both the Upper and Lower Falls for some amazing views.

IMG_5098Lamar Valley

This is the best spot to see wildlife! Drive through Lamar Valley and watch for bison, antelope, and more!

IMG_5103Tower Falls

Another impressive waterfall in the northeast corner of the park. Stop and get some ice cream at the general store in the parking lot by the falls!

IMG_5178Grand Prismatic Spring

One of my favorite parts of Yellowstone! The colors are unbelievable! Head out on the boardwalks to see the spring up close, then go for a hike up the hillside behind it to get an overhead view!

IMG_5198Old Faithful

You’ve gotta stop here because it’s so famous, but honestly I was not super impressed. They post online estimated times when the geyser will erupt, but it has a margin of error of +/- 10 minutes. Plus you need to get there early to grab a spot because thousands of people flock to the area every 90ish minutes to see Old Faithful erupt. Go see it once, but then move on!

IMG_5279Mammoth Hot Springs

Mammoth Hot Springs is located in the northwest corner of the park, just inside the entrance. It has some really unique formations and is an interesting stop along the way! Look for elk hanging out in front of Fort Yellowstone!

IMG_5303Roosevelt Arch

Roosevelt Arch marks the north entrance to the park and is still there from 1872 when the park first opened!
