You'll definitely want to spend a couple days if you want to hit all the big spots AND walk trails. Saw lots of bison and even a couple bears. Old Faithful wasn't worth the hype, but everything else was breathtaking!
Yellowstone is a very pretty park and reasonably easy to access various sites. Several of the key view points have easy to walk paths. I stayed 2 nights in a campsite located inside the park. The camp was clean and enjoyable. I was able to visit a period where it was not incredibly busy, but I believe the park has had a large uptick in visitors since I went. This may be a con if you want to visit more quiet and serene areas.
But overall it's a very gorgeous and in an incredible place, definitely worth a visit.
Yellowstone National Park is a breathtaking wonderland of natural beauty. Visiting this iconic destination was an awe-inspiring experience. The geothermal features, including the iconic Old Faithful, left me in awe. The diverse wildlife, from bison to elk, added a touch of wilderness to the stunning landscapes.
Exploring the park's trails allowed me to immerse myself in its unique ecosystems. The vibrant geysers, colorful hot springs, and picturesque canyons create a surreal atmosphere.
Recommend to visit once in your lifetime!
Probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to. Absolutely changed me. Since my visit I still find it surreal. It’s a place everyone should experience. But, you should also respect it and the animals. Pictures are great! Just take them from afar. This is not a zoo. If you are on limited time, you can do that entire loop around the park in a day. The downfall is you can’t stay in one spot for too long. The visitor center is a must see. Take your time there for sure. And Old Faithful was a sight to see!
Of all the National Parks in the US, Yellowstone has got to be one of the biggest crown jewels of them all. Every inch of this park has something amazing to see - geysers, hot pots, diverse animal wildlife, so many kinds of plants and flowers and grasses, majestic mountains, vast and clear lakes with bustling life - Yellowstone is one of the ultimate national park experiences of a lifetime.
Regardless of whether or not you choose to go hiking, go prepared as if you are because there is so much to see and a ton of walking to get there. Have and drink plenty of water wear good shoes, come with sunscreen and hats and the proper clothes. And leave the animals alone!! They may be used to the presence of us humans there, but they have big personal bubbles and they absolutely will tell you when you've popped it. The people who work with the national park service are good about sending you a different direction if there's an animal on the trails, and listen to them when they tell you to go around! These animals are gorgeous but they don't mess around.
In addition to that, stay on designated trails! If you step off the path you don't risk just damaging wildlife but you also risk finding a secret little hole where a hot pot is brewing. If it's not on the boardwalk, don't step on it.
With safety tips in mind, this really is one of the most incredible places to visit. Go see and enjoy one of the most beautiful places on earth.
