What to do in Yellowstone National Park

No family member has any excuse for grousing boredom in a national park as diverse as Yellowstone. Powerful geothermal forces bubbling underground create the park's hot springs, fumaroles, mudpots, and geysers, of which Old Faithful is the most famous. This icon erupts with near clocklike regularity, spraying steamy water 100 to 180 feet into the air.

Traveler Reviews of Yellowstone National Park

MrsJBolt rates Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone is a place of many wanders. The geysers and hot springs are unbelievable; it almost looks like sets out of a movie. This trip is best for teens & adults so they can truly understand & enjoy the gorgeous scenes of Yellowstone. Yellowstone is best visited in the summer months when the snow has melted and all roads are open. Many day hikes, bike routes, and camping spots are available to enjoy as well.

Yellowstone National Park Q&A

Answer this

what is the best way to get back to your car?

My friends and I are going to hike the Gallatin Skyline Trail in August and I was just wondering how do we get back to our car if we park it just off of 191. It looks like the trail just ends in the middle of nowhere.
