#Yellowstone National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Spend a night at Yellowstone National Park
Why would you go to a natural hot spring when you have a hot tub at home?🛁
Because hot springs are actually natural wonders, not just mineral-rich waters that have accumulated in pools or been channeled into man-made spas. Grand Prismatic Spring is the biggest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. The center of the spring is sterile due to extreme heat about 188.6 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in a deep blue color, surrounded by rings of color ranging from green to red, which is caused by bacteria that flourish in the warm, mineral-rich waters.
🏊♀️Despite the fact that swimming is prohibited for obvious reasons, this is one of the most photogenic thermal phenomena on the planet.

The water fluctuations of the large prisms - Yellowstone Scenery 3 (below)
Stopped on the path of the "Great Prism". For a long time, this is the largest hot spring in the United States with a diameter of about 100 meters and a water temperature of 85 °C. And the world's third-largest hot spring, watching it flood the ground to 2 tons of huge water per minute; these hot springs flow and paved a steaming, misty fairyland, known as the "Earth The most beautiful surface".
In the absolutely original region of "Great Prism", everyone who comes here will see different paintings at different times and at different angles, seeing all the magic and all kinds of impossible .
Perhaps because of a minor earthquake yesterday;
perhaps because of the impact of the groundwater level;
perhaps because the geothermal heat of the basin is again sprayed a lot;
where the water surface of the large prism occurs every day Change, every day shows magic.
When I was on the trail when the morning mist had not yet dispersed, as the thin clouds covered the sun, the clouds opened the sunrise, until the blue sky and white clouds left, the steam, light and shadow, ripples of the large prism spring surface were intertwined. Together, there is an epic and fascinating ecological picture.
Although the closer to the Grand Prism Hot Spring, the more you can't see the full picture of the standard, but the closer the distance, the water wave under the front of the foot is at your fingertips, it seems to be able to appreciate the heat around it, it seems to be able to hear It is gentle and mysterious. I chose this "immersive" with an unparalleled feeling.
captured happiness.

Scenic Beauty Atop the Volcano: Yellowstone National Park, USA
🎬 Those who have seen the movie '2012' know that Yellowstone National Park in the United States is one of the world's largest active volcanoes, with the entire national park situated on this volcanic caldera. If this volcano were to erupt, it might truly be like the end of the world as depicted in the movie.
🌋 No one knows when the volcano will erupt, but the national park on top of this volcano is really worth visiting.
🏞️ The attractions in Yellowstone National Park are distributed like the figure 8. Therefore, the tour routes are generally divided into the Upper Loop and Lower Loop.
✅ Upper Loop:
Mammoth Hot Springs
One of the iconic attractions of Yellowstone National Park, featuring travertine terraces that are quite distinctive, reminiscent of Turkey's Pamukkale.
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
The namesake of Yellowstone National Park, the falls are stunning during the high water season, with yellow rock formations on both sides of the canyon, hence the name Yellowstone.
✅ Lower Loop:
Old Faithful
The geyser erupts at regular intervals every day, like a punctual and honest person, which is why it's called Old Faithful. However, sometimes there can be slight variations in timing.
Grand Prismatic Spring
The most representative attraction of Yellowstone National Park, like a prism refracting a rainbow. The view from ground level is average, but you can walk up the hill behind it for the most beautiful view.
Yellowstone Lake
The lake water is very clear and vast. But the entire lake is actually the center of the volcanic caldera, so the water has a high sulfur content, and you should definitely not drink it.
These are just a few of the more famous attractions in Yellowstone National Park. There are many more large and small attractions scattered throughout the park, so give yourself some extra days to slowly take it all in.
⚠️ Important Notes:
1⃣️ Yellowstone National Park is very large, and most areas inside have no cell phone signal.
2⃣️ There are many wild animals in the park, so while protecting the animals, also pay attention to personal safety.
3⃣️ Many boardwalks do not have railings, so be careful where you step.
4⃣️ The calcified ground near hot springs and geysers may be a thin shell with nothing underneath, so do not go down.
5⃣️ There are not many restaurants inside (there is one near Old Faithful), so prepare food in advance.

The mysterious 'Eye of the Earth' in the United States is so beautiful that it's almost intimidating to look at directly
Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 and is one of the oldest and most famous national parks. Spanning the borders of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it covers an area of about 8,983 square kilometers. It boasts one of the world's largest forests, with the park's forests accounting for about 90% of the total forest area in the United States, and water bodies about 10%. The park features crystal-clear lakes, majestic canyons, boundless prairies, and powerful waterfalls. Among them, Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America, and the Yellowstone Volcano is the largest and most active supervolcano in North America. It erupts approximately every 400,000 years, and it has been 390,000 years since the last eruption. In addition, there is a vast number of precious wildlife species.

ALEXA ROBBINS
Review of 20+ National Parks in the United States|Complete Ranking Guide
I've been in the US for 10 years and have visited more than 20 national parks, big and small. Let me rank them based on my preference. I've roughly divided them into 4 tiers:
Tier1: Must-visit.
Tier2: Worth a special trip.
Tier3: Worth a detour for a check-in.
Tier4: I don't know why it's considered a national park..
Now let's get to the point:
🟠Tier 1:
🔹Yellow Stone + Grand Teton: They stand out for their diverse landscapes and wildlife, and are the face of US national parks. I've camped twice in Yellowstone and Grand Teton respectively, and the campsite locations are pretty good, with beautiful lakeside views and well-equipped facilities. Highly recommended.
🔹Glacier: A national park that gave me a big surprise. I was attracted by a picture of a colorful stone lake on Instagram and decided to go. I found out that the color of the stones was all post-production, but the stunning scenery exceeded my expectations. The spectacular canyons, snow-covered peaks, rivers formed by melting snow, and the lush forest below form a landscape that is no less than Switzerland. Highline Trail is probably my favorite so far.
🔹Grand Canyon: I still remember the shock I felt the first time I went there. Although I had heard about the grandeur of the Grand Canyon, seeing is believing. The sudden silence when you walk to the edge of the canyon brings a tremor to your soul. I personally think the South Rim is more beautiful than the West Rim, and the glass bridge is not that interesting. I want to try the Rim to Rim trail next time.
🟠Tier 2:
🔹Olympic: The diversity of landscapes and scenery is comparable to Yellowstone, with valleys, lakes, oceans, and rainforests. The scenery is not bad, but the weather was not very good when I went, it was cloudy and sunny, which affected the experience to some extent. But I guess it's the changeable weather that creates different landscape features.
🔹Yosemite: Another famous national park, but I went during the dry season, without the feeling of a fairyland. However, the white granite stones are very beautiful, it should be better with water.
🔹Zion: It should be the most fun among the several parks in Utah. I went up the narrows and climbed the angles landing. The inconvenience is that you have to take a shuttle to get in, which reduces some efficiency. Angels landing requires a draw, which adds some uncertainty to the trip.
🔹Arches: I went to the delicate arches trail, there is no shelter throughout the journey, Utah in summer is like hell, I suggest not to try in summer, but the scenery is very unique, it's worth the bumps on the road.

Check in at Teton County Fishing Bridge
📍I flew from SD to SLC and then drove overnight with friends to West Yellowstone and started playing early the next morning
📍Day 1 Upper 8, depart from West Yellowstone every day--> Gibbon Falls (small waterfall hike 20 minutes) --> Norris Geyser Basin (various hot springs 1hr)--> Mammoth (recommend to take pictures in the morning without backlighting, need to climb a lot of roads 1.5 hr)v--> Lamer Valley (watch wildlife, Bison and elk)
📍Day 2 Canyon Village (has vistor center and general store, place to eat 20 minutes to buy anniversary)--> Brink of lower Falls (and the following 5 attractions are similar to see the waterfall hike 1 hr)--> Lookout point (20 min)--> Brink of upper Falls --> Artist point --> Hayden Valley (beautiful sunset)--> Mud Volcano (mud volcano 20-30 min) --> Yellowstone lake
📍Day 3 Lower 8, there are many and dense attractions, it is recommended to leave more time Fountain Paint Pot Trail (various colors of hot spring ~1hr) --> Grand Prism, look below and hike for about two hours, hike about 40 min round trip --> Old Faithful (Old Faithful, it is recommended to go to vc to see what time it erupts, if there is an hour and a half, you can go to morning Glory, if the time is short, you can go to the independent anniversary shop to turn around --> Morning Glory (😭😭Because I didn't know that I had to hike in Old Faithful, I didn't have time to go) --> west Thumb --> Stay in Grand Teton
📍Day4 Walk around in Grand Teton in the morning. The difference between GT and Yellowstone is that he doesn't have many attractions to check in. If you have time, you can go horse riding. It is more suitable to go there and stay for a day to see the scenery and vacation. In the afternoon, I went to Jackson to take pictures of antlers and eat. There is a Bakery called Persephone Bakery which is quite delicious. I started to drive to SLC at about 4 o'clock to catch the 9 o'clock flight in the evening. The scenery along the way through Montana, Wyoming, Utah is really different, all the way through the green mountains and rivers, driving for several hours without feeling tired, just received speeding tickets from two states🥹 🥹

West Thumb Geyser Basin
🌟Highlights:
West Thumb Geyser Basin: Located on the edge of Yellowstone Lake, it was formed due to the collapse of the earth's crust 150,000 years ago. Under the combination of hot springs and lake water, a wonderful spectacle of smoke appears: the smoke is the steam of the hot springs, the green waves are the water of Yellowstone, and they are reflected with the blue sky and white clouds in the background, forming a different landscape from other hot spring areas in Yellowstone. This place is equivalent to the bay of Yellowstone Lake. Many geysers gather here. The colors of the water outlets are diverse. Some are transparent green, and some are dark black like cement. Numerous water outlets present a beautiful fantasy.
❤Reason for recommendation:
Beautiful scenery👍

If you have time, you can play for three days

Grand Prismatic Spring→The beautiful surface of the earth~God's overturned palette
Located in Yellowstone Park, the Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world, with a width of 75-91 meters and a depth of 49 meters, and it gushes out about 2000 liters of 71-degree hot water every minute. In 1871, it was discovered by geologists and named Grand Prismatic for its striking colors. It is named 'the most beautiful surface of the earth'. Walking along the wooden plank road built in the park towards the Grand Prismatic Spring, it seems to have left the earth and entered another planet.
It is formed by the Firehole River, which is formed by countless hot springs gushing out.
Under the sunlight, a large area around the Grand Prismatic with wrinkles on the ground emits magical reflections. It's incredible! The bright blue-green-yellow-orange-brown forms a strange and deep big eye on the surface of the earth, making you unable to move your eyes.
✅Two ways to open the Grand Prismatic Spring
Close view
There is a pedestrian wooden plank road around the Grand Prismatic Spring, which takes about 40 minutes to walk around. Come and see the local part of the Grand Prismatic Spring. It is not only the hot spring pool that is beautiful, but the surroundings are really too magical, like a big eye, with long eyelashes. Once again, it is simply outer space, there is such a magical place on earth!
Walking near the close-view plank road of the Grand Prismatic Spring, you can clearly see the texture it leaves on the surface of the earth. It looks beautiful from a distance, and there is a sense of vicissitudes and mystery when you look close.
In the Grand Prismatic Spring pool, it is in the mist, with a strong smell of sulfur, which makes me remember this place with smell. It feels like being in a palette, with all kinds of colors. If I hadn't come in person, I wouldn't dare to imagine the surface of the earth so boldly.
Distant view
To find this viewing platform, you need to continue south from the Grand Prismatic viewpoint for 1-2 miles, there is a Fairy Fall Trail sign on the right, enter a not too large parking lot to park, and then follow the Trail all the way forward for about 10 minutes, until there is a small fork in the road, the left is the viewing platform of the Grand Prismatic, I remember the sign says overview, the right road continues to run Fairy Fall Trail, after turning left, about another 10 minutes walk, the whole journey is about 1.6 miles.
Sunny day strategy☀
The best visiting season is from to every year, try to avoid going on cloudy days with a lot of water vapor. When I went, the weather was too good, I saw the most beautiful look of the Grand Prismatic as I wished, almost cloudless, the blue sky made the Grand Prismatic Spring bluer and clearer.

Yellowstone is nuts!
#yellowstone was an amazing road trip. The park is absolutely nuts!!! The whole place is bubbling with steam. You don’t realise how much until you get there. The scenery is beautiful but it makes you realise how fragile this world is when you see how dangerous it can be!

Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
Yellowstone National Park, USA is the first national park in the United States, and its fame is self-evident. I first learned about it in the disaster movie "2012". There are wild animals, forests, hot springs, and canyons. I finally came here in person during this year's May Day holiday. There is still some snow in Yellowstone National Park in May, and some areas are not open, but the flaws do not detract from the beauty!
📝Attention tips: Yellowstone National Park in May is relatively cold, and many hot springs will produce a large amount of steam, making it difficult to see the spring water itself!

Yellowstone National Park | is the first national park in the world | is a famous tourist destination with a sense of responsibility.
Yellowstone National Park, abbreviated as Yellowstone Park, is managed by the National Park Service of the United States.

Yellowstone must be seen at least once in a lifetime, so beautiful that it takes your breath away! It is a pearl given to humanity by God, proudly called by Americans as the "most unique and magical park on Earth". Many of its beauties cannot be expressed by pictures and words, let your eyes travel and only the Yellowstone in your eyes is the most beautiful.
Yellowstone National Park covers an area of 8983 square kilometers, with various geological wonders such as hot springs, lakes, canyons, rivers, waterfalls, and mountains. It feels like missing any one of them is like losing a fortune.
The best time to visit Yellowstone National Park is from May to October, with more sunny days and more tourists in July and August. From October to the following May, Yellowstone is covered in white snow, and only special vehicles at the north entrance can enter to see individual attractions such as Old Faithful.
Yellowstone National Park has one of the world's largest petrified forests. Long ago, trees were buried in volcanic ash and soil; later, these buried wood turned into mineral substances. The first time I saw trees burned and carbonized all over the mountains, lying in all directions, with a desolate and shocking sight!

Go to Yellowstone National Park to admire the colorful geological wonders of lava volcanoes, geothermal tuff and ash rocks.
After the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, lava and volcanic tuff buried the area. The high-temperature gases and hot water brought by geothermal activity weakened the rocks. Rivers eroded and carved out the canyon between Tower Falls and Lower Falls. The canyon presents different colors. The red color is caused by the oxidation of iron compounds in the acidic volcanic rock rhyolite that was cooked by the liquid brought by geothermal activity. The yellow color is the result of the interaction of iron and sulfur in the rocks.

Yellowstone National Park, the largest wildlife park in America.
As the largest wildlife sanctuary in the United States, Yellowstone National Park is home to a large number of wild animals. The most commonly seen animals in Yellowstone are herds of American bison, and deer and antelope can also be seen from time to time. People even have the opportunity to see reindeer fighting with their solid antlers, black bears playing on the grasslands, and occasionally see eagles spreading their wings and flying from the sky.

Experience the magnificent and thrilling snow scenery in the unique amusement park in the world.
Yellowstone is really big, each attraction requires a half-hour drive, and each one is worth seeing. As long as it's open, you can come. July and August are definitely the most beautiful, but there are also a lot of people. The scenery is not bad at other times, and there are relatively fewer people.

The terrain of Yellowstone National Park can be traced back to the route of the North American Plate over 1.7 billion years ago.
Yellowstone National Park is located at the northeast end of the Snake River Plain. The Snake River Plain is a huge U-shaped valley, extending westward for about 640 kilometers from the mountains that protrude outward from the Boise Mountains of Idaho. This terrain dates back to the route of the North American Plate over the past 1.7 billion years, as the North American Plate was transported by plate tectonics across a stationary mantle hotspot. The current terrain of Yellowstone National Park is the closest manifestation of this hotspot beneath the crust.
