BECKY LOMAX
The earths tremendous forces have made Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks a land of fire and ice. The parks bear the marks of ancient seas, volcanic heat, tectonic upthrusting, and ice scouring. Even today, they shake and roar.
In Yellowstone National Park, rumblings of a supervolcano boil to the surfacespewing, spitting, oozing, and bubbling. Steam rolls from vividly colored pools, muddy cauldrons burp smelly gases, and blasts of hot water shoot high into the air. The cantankerous landscape gushes with spouters like iconic Old Faithful. In Grand Teton National Park, toothy spires claw the sky in one of the newest mountain ranges in the Rockies. Glaciers have chewed the terrain, leaving lakes, bowls, and canyons in their wake. Mountains tower thousands of feet high, culminating in the Grand Teton.
Throughout the Greater Yellowstone area, sagebrush prairies make wildlife easy to spot. Bison, elk, antelope, wolves, and even grizzly bears enchant visitors. Hiking trails, alpine lakes, bicycle paths, rivers, and ski trails in winter all create a four-season recreation paradise to explore.
early in the morning to avoid the crowded part of the day. Plan to arrive by 8am if possible.
to erupt, and aim to be at the arena for about 30 minutes in advance to claim a seat.
to learn about Yellowstones volcanic activity, especially the difference between geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles.
Saunter the boardwalk around in the Upper Geyser Basin to see blue Heart Spring and the Lion Group of small geysers.
, if time permits, to see Castle Geyser, Grand Geyser, Grotto Geyser, and Morning Glory Pool.
to explore the National Historic Landmark.
.
to walk by Black Growler and the colorful Porcelain Basin.
to spot wildlife such as bison, elk, and trumpeter swans from pullouts.
, with dinner and a walk along the lake at sunset before spending the night.
This itinerary works best mid-May-early October, when most of Yellowstone is open.
Avoid the largest crowds by traveling outside the July-August window.
Make reservations for lodging and dining at Lake Yellowstone Hotel 12-18 months in advance after May 1 (307/344-7311; www.yellowstonenationalparklodges [URL inactive]).
Download the NPS Yellowstone National Park app before you leave home due to limited cell service. Use it for traveling and checking eruption time predictions for six geysers, including Old Faithful Geyser.
Pack a cooler with a picnic lunch, water, and snacks.
Parking may be full, especially in summer, at Midway Geyser Basin and some overlooks at Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. You may have to be flexible with the schedule.
Stop to use the vault toilets at picnic areas along Lower Grand Loop Road rather than waiting in long lines at geyser basins and visitors centers.
Old Faithful
Mid-April offers car-free park roads to cyclists before roads open to vehicles in late April or May. As the snow melts, flowers like yellow bells emerge. Come in May for bison calving season, or June to spot bighorn sheep ewes with newborn lambs and grizzly bears foraging along Yellowstone Lake. In May, many visitor services return. Days may be rainy and cold, and some trails remain snow-covered into June. Snow can fall up to a foot (30.5 cm).
