3. If you want to see all four types of thermal features in one spot, then make sure to stop in at Fountain Paint Pot. Here you get to see hot springs, geysers, mud pots and fumaroles. A larger carpark and easy 0.6 mile boardwalk loop make it very accessible for all.

4. This wide, broad valley is a mecca for serious wildlife watchers. Bison, elk, bears, wolves, antelopes and otters are just a few of the species you might spot in this rich wildlife habitat.

5. There are approximately 50 hot springs at Mammoth Hot Springs, divided into two terraces, Upper and Lower. The springs are constantly changing and have built an impressive variety of travertine terraces, cascading pools, and sometimes colorful mounds. There are boardwalks that allow you to get close, with excellent photo locations on the Lower Terrace. And there is a short driving loop to follow along through the Upper Terrace. Liberty Cap is the most striking formation that stands like a guard for the area. It's a tall, slender mound that is no longer connected to a hot water source. Mammoth is also the location of many visitor services and the Visitor Center and Museum for this corner of the Park.

6. For just a short unpaved trail and boardwalk loop of just over 1 mile with 125 feet of elevation, Artist Paintpots sure packs a punch, with numerous hot springs, geysers, a fumarole and of course mudpots. Through the steam, notice the mudpots stained with iron oxide, creating a pretty pastel palette of colors any artist would be happy to work with. As you follow the trail it slowly climbs to the top of the loop, which provides a great view back out over the thermal area.

7. Old Faithful is without a doubt the most famous geyser in the entire Park - and with good reason. Since we have been watching it, it's erupted spectacularly every 60 - 90 minutes or so. So not quite on the hour as the myth suggests, but as the most predictable geyser in the Park, it is still close to being "nature's time piece".

8. The largest and most concentrated of the geyser basins located in Yellowstone and home to Old Faithful, but there are another 150 geysers to visit in this basin too. Check in at the visitor center for prediction times for multiple geysers, and plan your route exploring the basin to try and time your visit to see a variety of eruptions. Explore the 2 mile round trip paved path from Old Faithful Lodge to Morning Glory Pool, stopping at Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser and Riverside Geyser along the way.

9. Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone. It's colorful microbial mats of red, orange, yellow and green around the edges of the pool contrast the deep blue center center of the pool. There's an extensive boardwalk that allows you to see the colors up close, but there can often be steam blowing off the spring that might cloud any photos. See it from above on the the Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, just south of Midway Geyser Basin. Enter the small Fairy Falls Parking lot and walk the .6 mile with slight elevation of 100 feet to the overlook. Midway Geyser Basin / Grand Prismatic Spring is only a short 7 mile drive from Old Faithful, so it's a natural segway for your day. It's also one of the most photographed, and busy, spots in the National Park, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds.

10. Incredible forces have carved a 20 mile, up to 1200 foot deep canyon along the path of the Yellowstone River. The carving action of the Yellowstone River has also created 2 magnificent waterfalls inside the canyon. There are 2 aspects to see both the Upper and Lower Falls from, with multiple viewpoints for each. You will want to take in as many of these different views as your time allows.

    20분

11. Boiling River is one of only two areas where you can soak in Yellowstone. It is closed in Spring/early Summer due to the fast current and dangerous high water. There is no lifeguard and some microorganisms live the warm water, so be sure and check current conditions before you go. Please note you can only soak in the river and not in the hot spring.

12. Menors Ferry was a cable ferry operated by its namesake William Menor, and for a quarter century starting in the late 1800s, was the only way to get across the Snake River without traveling for miles in either direction. A working replica of the ferry has been rebuilt along with the general store he operated. It's filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the time. A fun short stop.

About West Yellowstone

West Yellowstone is a small Montana town at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, ringed by forested mountain country and rivers.

West Yellowstone sits at about 2,000 metres on the Montana side of the Idaho border, right at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Its streets of log-fronted shops, motels and restaurants serve the park, and a museum in the old railway depot tells how early visitors arrived by train. A wildlife centre cares for grizzly bears and wolves that cannot be returned to the wild.
