One of the most fascinating place of earth. For nature enthusiasts its place you most visit, so intriguing and gives you a lot to learn about the still unexplored wonders of the world . i had an amazing time . The national park is well maintained and secure . you can visit with you family or friends and have a great time. Also special mentions to the souvenir stone , they have a great collection of mementos to take home.
Can't beat the scenery, hikes and amenities. Even with covid shutting down many amenities and services, the staff were friendly and helpful. Very few rangers at the more popular destinations (compared to previous visits) but this is understandable and didn't negatively affect our visit. Social distancing and mask wearing by staff (excellent) and visitors (good to very good.) Really missed the campground showers but again, understand the reasons why.
This a magical place. You will see nature like you’ve never seen it. You will be amazed by its beauty. The prospect of seeing wildlife in its natural element is super exciting. You have the potential of seeing bear, moose, elk, deer, buffalo, wolves, coyote, and a myriad of other animals. I absolutely love this park. I will continue to come here. I highly recommend this park.
This place it’s absolutely beautiful! Start your visit early in the morning because you have many stops . I highly recommend to stop all of the places . The map what they give you at the entrance will tell you all the important locations. Geysers, waterfalls, cascades , mountains . great for fishing 🎣 and biking , wildlife and everything in between!
2 years ago we went to the cody entrance of Yellowstone and met ranger Brian. We still talk about ranger Brian to this day. He's basically the great white buffalo of park rangers. Such a cool human being. The park is obviously amazing but ranger Brian is such an asset. If we ever see him again we want a picture.
All Americans should visit at least once in their lives! Let's thank Teddy Roosevelt for this great park! This is a one of kind park ranging from mountains to streams, to waterfalls to natural geysers! The elf and bison roam throughout the park. The camping grounds are well kept. The services are top-notch and the rangers are very helpful.
One of the most unique and enchanting places on Earth. Unique and varied wildlife are made available to the public by the wonderful park service. A once in a lifetime place to visit. Each season brings different wonders to behold. And each store has unique trinkets to remember your visit by.
Yes, I'm giving my own review 5 Stars: not to suggest that I'm such a great reviewer, rather to reflect just how AMAZING an experience it was! These photos were taken on 10-14-2015 and more or less chronicle my driving trip beginning at the Western Gate, then driving North along the Gibbon River up to Mammoth Hot Springs and then back down along the same route to Old Faithful and then out the Eastern Gate. I could have spent MONTHS there but sadly only had the one day. I wish I could share my videos!!!
Every city slicker should visit, enjoy the wild life and beautiful views, before returning to the modern conveniences of life.
If you take the time to drive slowly, you'll see a lot of wildlife. I really recommend you go during less busy seasons, which means NOT the peak of summer. You won't be as comfortable, since the weather will be less forgiving. However, the absence of crowds will increase the chances you have to see actual wildlife.
If you must visit during peak times, expect to enjoy a lot of great scenery and a lot of people from around the world. There is no place like Yellowstone on earth, at least not in such close proximity to such a wide variety of ecosystems. You'll have a lot to take in and a lot to enjoy.
I encourage you to speak with the staff and rangers. They are incredibly interesting and many live onsite at the park. They have great stories and even better information than on the plaques. Plus, they love what they do, which makes them fun to spend time with.
I hope you take the time to enjoy Yellowstone before it's gone. You won't regret it.
Natural wonders second to none. Crowds. Exceptional wildlife. Crowds. Spectacular water features. Crowds. Outdoors at its very best. Crowds. The only place with enough parking is Old Faithful area. Aside from that, if you don't get to your desired location early, be prepared to wait/fight for parking. And yet, it is still worth it just for the spectacle of nature here. Words can never do it justice.
If you're in the area, you have to go! It's simply stunning. Beautiful, fascinating and one of the few places to see a wild buffalo herd. Sure, it gets a little busy in summer and you'll need patience to wait for a parking spot at some of the more popular attractions, but it's so worth it. Better the wait than turning the whole place into a giant parking lot.
Well, after you've been to the Tetons, Yellowstone is just a bit too big and too long of a drive. While geologically interesting - it's not a place you can expect something exciting at every corner. However, most people seem to think so and they chronically drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit Everywhere. It's NOT Disneyland people!! There are 100's of thousands of acres here so wildlife is probably not going to leap out at every turn. Be patient, be considerate and for heaven's sake go for a hike. Best time/ way to see Yellowstone: after Labor Day or by horseback on a several day trek. Best hot springs pools: West Thumb. Best mineral springs: Mammoth of course. Best Geyser - not Old Faithful Check out the entire basin and bring water + good shoes. Expect an entire day to take in the Old Faithful geyser basin.
Breathtakingly beautiful. You can spend a few months here at the Park. Absolutely gorgeous. Loved lower Falls, Artist Point, Lamar Valley, Mammoth Springs, Old Faithful Geyser, Castle Geyser just to name a few.
Canyon Lodge is an amazing place to stay. Loved the food from cafe in Canyon Village.
Excellentoh my gosh was stunning and breathtakingly amazing. A photographers dream. Enjoyed the whole parkdidn't miss anything. Stayed in all of the hotels which were exceptionally great and stunning. The National Park staff are amazing and the other staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Yellowstone National Park is a must see..
A very diversified area. It is not my favorite national park but I believe that if you are only going to visit one this is the park to see. Unbelievable scenery, lots of animals amazing gysers
Why does anyone go here??? this place is a gigantic geothermal bomb waiting to explode! YOU ARE WALKING ON THE EARTH'S LARGEST ACTIVE SUPER-VOLCANO THAT IS 40,000 YEARS OVER DUE FOR AN ERUPTION!!!
Yellowstone has everything. Mountains, canyons, forests, rivers, waterfalls, and some of the most unique features you'll see on earth due to the geothermal activity in the Yellowstone area. On the west side you have geysers, thermal pools and hot springs, on the east side of the park you have canyons and mountains to explore. Yellowstone is a must see because there's something for everyone here.
I'm not sure how anyone could give this park anything other than five stars. It is truly remarkable. One of the best vacations I have ever been on. It's so big that it can be overwhelming. You have to be prepared and organized to see it all.
I've never been here before, but based on the images and comments I have heard about, I would very much like to come visit this vast, volcanic land.
What truly interests me, aside from the landscapes, are the numerous variety of wildlife, but creatures worth seeing in this locale are one of the last herds of American Bison, grazing on the plains, all Deer species (White and Black Tailed, Elk, Moose) elusively feeding in the forests, Bighorn Sheep clambering on dangerous mountainous slopes, Pronghorns frollicking in the grasslands, packs of Wolves using coordination to help take down prey, and above all, the Bears, especially the Black and the Brown.
One day, I'll come here and observe the majesty of Yellowstone National Parkjust hope that I won't get mauled by a large Bear, that is!
