YELLOWSTONE

Best Time to Go & Visit & Travel to
WYOMING

Yellowstone Park is home of a unique variety of wildlife (bears, wolves, bufallo, elk...) but it is mainly famous for the world's most extraordinary set of geysers and hot springs (in Old Faithful, Wyoming) and its scenic views. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (in Wyoming) is also part of these amazing Park.

WHAT TO VISIT IN YELLOWSTONE

Old Faithful, the most outstanding geyser set in the world, is a must.

Also outstanding, and with magnificent and unique sceneries, is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

To view bears and wolves, elk and buffalo visit the Lamar and Hayden valleys.

The park offers also a wide range of opportunities on hiking, camping and fishing. Local ranger-led tours in the park are very popular.

Note: the park headquarters is located near the north entrance, in Mammoth Hot Springs.

BEST TIME TO VISIT YELLOWSTONE

The most popular season - and the most crowded - is surely summer: Yellowstone has moderate summers, though since most of the park is above 7,500 feet, temperatures may vary sharply in altitude.

Spring is particularly unpredictable: you can get mild temperatures and sunshine but also massive rain and even snow. In general, early Fall is a much better season to visit Yellowstone (crowds are also much smaller) though you should be prepared for sudden changes in temperature and storms in any time of the year.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO
YELLOWSTONE

Many roads are closed from November to mid May,
which is a powerful indication of the weather conditions in this period. Yellowstone has cold and harsh winters.

Anyway, winter also provides a very special and alien
appearance to the park, with frozen waterfalls, geysers driving plumes of steam and hot water into the cold and snow, and animal life mixed with that steamy-icy-alien world. Winter visits to Yellowstone have increased sharply in last decades.

For details on weather temperatures, rain and snow, see the Weather Map below.
