Discover the ultimate way to see Old Faithful in the Upper Geyser Basin and learn some cool information about it along the way.

On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.

Yellowstone

Only for the brave and bundled! Expect possible road closures and difficulty getting around.

The bison are still on the move, but you'll want four-wheel drive to catch the sights.

If you're lucky you might catch a glimpse of wolves starting to get frisky with spring looming.

Still chilly and likely some snow on the ground, but a less-crowded time to visit.

With spring sprung, expect increased visitation - and if you're really lucky, some new babies along with the wildflowers.

You've officially entered prime time, so be prepared to navigate crowds and the occasional irresponsible tourist.

A fantastic time to take a dip in the Firehole Canyon Drive Swim Hole!

A gorgeous time of year for hiking and seeing the sights. Prepare early - you won't be alone!

Still quite busy, and fall wildlife are preparing for winter. Don't get too close to the pointy things!

Fall colors trickle into October just as the visitation starts to drop off considerably. A marvelous time for photographers.

The off-season has arrived, but still great views of West Thumb Basin on the shores of Yellowstone Lake.

Yellowstone in winter might be the best time to capture some wolves for your holiday cards.

Maybe look for other places?
