AN IMPORTANT NOTE
The world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and buses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about these hotels, restaurants, museums, and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.

Yellowstone National Park
The largest hot spring in the United States, Grand Prismatic Spring reaches temperatures of 160F (70C). Microbes that thrive in hot water give the spring its otherworldly colors.
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Yellowstone River, downstream from the Lower Falls. Easy to strenuous hikes along the rim and down to the river afford the best views of the canyon.
A wolf pack in the Lamar Valley. After being hunted to extinction in the lower 48 states, wolves were reintroduced in Yellowstone in 1995. Today, there are an estimated 100 wolves in the park.
So-named because of its punctual eruptions, Old Faithful erupts every 60 to 110 minutes. Park facilities near the geyser include a visitors center, boardwalks, accommodations, and dining.
A corral near the Roosevelt Lodge Cabins offers stagecoach rides, horseback riding, and cowboy-style cookouts.
An aerial boardwalk slated to open by 2018 will give visitors a birds-eye view of the Grand Prismatic Spring.
Mountain goatsalong with moose, bighorn sheep, and grizzliesare frequently sighted on the Sepulcher Mountain Trail near Mammoth Hot Springs.
Palette Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs. Mammoth is a constantly shifting geological area, where old springs may dry up suddenly and new ones appear just as rapidly.
Visitors watch Old Faithful erupt from the porch of the Old Faithful Inn. Built in 190304, the rustic log inn is the parks most requested accommodation.
Winter in the park means fewer crowds, plus opportunities for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Park rangers lead free snowshoe walks from the Mammoth and West Yellowstone areas several times a week.
After most roads close in the winter, snowmobiles and strange-looking snowcoaches are the only ways to access many popular park areas.
Campgrounds in Yellowstone range from remote pack-in/out sites to enormous tent and RV villages with modern facilities.
