ALL-AMERICAN ROAD TRIP Miles 3,319This epic route encompasses the pioneer legends, natural wonders and historic sites of seven states from the Midwest to Yellowstone and back. You’ll enjoy South Dakota’s top sites—including Badlands National Park, Mt. Rushmore, and Wind Cave National Park—then travel across northern Wyoming to see Devils Tower, Thermopolis and Cody. After touring Yellowstone, head over the Beartooth Highway to Red Lodge, Mont., and

east to North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

YELLOWSTONE TO GLACIER Miles 962Discover Montana’s spectacular culture via West Yellowstone, Mont., as you point your wheels north to Glacier National Park. In Big Sky, you’ll find adrenaline-filled activities. Farther north, you’ll find boom-and-bust stories in Virginia City, Nevada City and Butte. Beyond take a dip at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and sample sweets in Philipsburg. Explore

Missoula and other lively towns en route to Glacier National Park. Head east from the park to Great Falls, Bozeman and the charming town of Livingston, the original Yellowstone gateway.

UTAH SAND AND SKY LOOP Miles 1,140Pair desert scenery with Yellowstone on this tour through Utah and Wyoming. Kick it off in Salt Lake City before driving north into Wyoming and visiting the lively town of Jackson and nearby Grand Teton National Park. Explore Yellowstone and then

swing south and a bit east to explore the stunning Wind River Range and south toFossil Butte National Monument, Flaming Gorge Recreation Area and Dinosaur National Monument. Finish with a stay in the charming town of Park City, Utah.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH LOOP Miles 1,379Trace the spine of North America from Colorado’s central Rockies to Wyoming’s Wind River Range on this Yellowstone-bound trip. From Denver, explore Rocky

Mountain National Park. Then head to Cheyenne and Laramie. Drive through the Wind River Range to Grand Teton National Park. Explore Yellowstone before exiting the park via the East Entrance to visit Cody and Thermopolis during your return route to Colorado.

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ Miles 1,564From your starting point in California, head to Yosemite National Park where you’ll find awe-inspiring granite domes, waterfalls and trails.

Beyond is Lake Tahoe, the open desert landscape of Nevada, a slice of Idaho and Wyoming. In Pocatello, Idaho, stop by a museum dedicated to all things “clean” and then stop at the Victor Emporium in Victor, Idaho, and the cute town of Driggs before pressing on to Jackson, Wyo., a mix of cowboy culture, glamour and breathtaking scenery. From there explore Grand Teton National Park to hike in magnificent scenery and then drive north to Yellowstone National Park where geysers and magnificent wildlife await.

PARK ENTRANCE PRIMERLocated mainly in northwestern Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park.

Parts of it also stretch into Idaho and Montana. To access the park, choose between five entrances.

NORTHEAST ENTRANCEClosest to Cooke City, Mont., and its sister village Silver Gate, this entrance gives you the best access to Yellowstone’s legendary Lamar Valley where grizzlies, black bears, bison and wolves roam. The tiny outpost of Cooke City (year-round population is 100) has a downtown that spans only a few blocks but offers good dining and lodging options. In the summer, travelers can reach Cooke City via the Beartooth Highway or the park. In winter, this entrance is closed and the only way into Cooke City is through Yellowstone’s North Entrance near Gardiner, Mont.

NORTH ENTRANCEWant to experience some of the West’s most spectacular scenery in a town that can feel like a cross between Northern Exposure and Animal Planet, given its wild neighbors living up the street in Yellowstone National Park? Head to Gardiner, Mont., just five miles from Yellowstone’s steaming terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, one of the park’s many natural wonders. Sitting at the only year-round entrance to the world’s first national park, pretty much everything in Gardiner is colorful from the scenery and people to the names of dishes on menus, adding a poetic slant to your visit. The Yellowstone River, the longest undammed river in the Lower 48, runs through Gardiner.

EAST ENTRANCEThe closest town to Yellowstone’s East Entrance is 52 miles away in Cody, Wyo. Named after one-time resident and western showman Buffalo Bill Cody, it’s home to a world-class museum complex, an Old West replica town and historic reenactments. There also are lively rodeos, charming hotels, down-home restaurants and even a zipline that puts you up to 84 feet off the ground. The closest year-round airport to Yellowstone National Park (Yellowstone Regional Airport) is here, making Cody an especially convenient launching point for trips to the park.

SOUTH ENTRANCETake one part historic cowboy charm, add a healthy dash of modern glamour and finish with a heaping portion of world-class mountain scenery, and you’ve got Jackson, Wyo.—Yellowstone’s southern gateway town and one of the most beloved getaways in the Rocky Mountains. Situated on the doorstep of Grand Teton National Park and 57 miles from Yellowstone’s South Entrance, Jackson’s (Jackson Hole refers to the entire valley) fantastic dining, outdoor recreation and cultural attractions make it a great basecamp.

WEST ENTRANCEThis entrance is the park’s busiest, so it’s no wonder that West Yellowstone, Mont., is a bustling gateway with dining, shopping and attractions for travelers. Located just across the Wyoming border in Montana, West Yellowstone is a convenient entrance town for those coming from Idaho or western Montana, especially Missoula. Visitors will find Wild West flavor, plenty of lodging and a mix of cultural and outdoor activities. Catch a show at the Playmill Theatre or study up for your park trip at Yellowstone Giant Screen Theatre, which shows a rotating series of IMAX movies about Yellowstone, wildlife and pioneer history.

Here are some of our favorite things to do

from biking to exploring some of

Yellowstone’s most historic treasures.

1WAKE UP WITH

THE WOLVESFor your best chance of seeing a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to the Lamar

Valley in the park’s northeast corner.

2SEE TOWER FALLS & HIKE

MOUNT WASHBURNStop at the 132-foot Tower Fall. Then drive

up the 8,859-foot Dunraven Pass. At the top, park and hike the 3.1-mile

(one way) trail to Mt. Washburn’s 10,243-foot summit.

3EAT AT

ROOSEVELT LODGEBuilt in 1920, this log cabin restaurant has a front porch

with rocking chairs where you can have a drink and wait for a

table to open up inside.

6DINE AT

OLD FAITHFUL INNA trip to Yellowstone would not be

complete without seeing the largest log structure in the world

built from 1903-04. Breakfast and lunch are first-come, first-served,

but you need to make dinner reservations in advance.

5STROLL MIDWAY GEYSER BASIN

See one of the world’s largest, deepest hot springs, Grand

Prismatic Spring. It’s larger than a football field at 370 feet across

and deeper than a 10-story building at 125 feet.

4SEE MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS

Walk on a mile-long boardwalk to see the colorful travertine terraces

formed by hot springs rising to the surface and depositing dissolved limestone in dramatic patterns.

BISONIn 1916, America’s wild bison, which once numbered 60 million, had dwindled to 23 animals. Yellowstone’s bison today, which number 5,500, are descendants of those survivors. Bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. While they may seem docile, they are unpredictable and have injured visitors who approach them.

SEE THEM: In Yellowstone, go to the Lamar, Hayden and Pelican valleys. In Grand Teton, go to the Snake River from Jackson Lake Dam south to Moose, Wyo.  

WOLFAbout 80 wolves roam in 10 packs in and around Yellowstone, with about 450 wolves in the greater Yellowstone area. Highly social, they hunt elk, deer and bison. In 1995, the first 14 wolves from Canada were reintroduced.

SEE THEM: In Yellowstone, wolf packs roam the Lamar Valley, Hayden Valley, Canyon area and Blacktail Deer Plateau. Dawn and dusk are the best times to look. In Grand Teton, see them in Willow Flats.

WILDLIFE AT YELLOWSTONEDiscover where to see the park’s spectacular animals.

Compiled by Jade Lang

MOOSEMoose have long snouts, bulbous noses and dewlaps under their throats, which set them apart from other hooved animals. Look for them in areas full of willows.

SEE THEM: In Yellowstone, look for moose in Willow Park, Yellowstone Lake, Fishing Bridge, West Thumb and Hayden Valley. In Grand Teton, see them along Oxbow Bend, Blacktail Ponds, Mormon Row and Antelope Flats Road.

GRIZZLY BEARGrizzlies, also known as “brown bears,” have a distinctive hump between their shoulders, blonde-tipped fur, a long snout and smaller ears than black bears. Their front claws are between 2-4 inches, while black bears’ claws are 1-2 inches. About 700 live in the Yellowstone region.

SEE THEM: In Yellowstone go to Lamar, Hayden and Pelican valleys and Yellowstone and Heart lakes. In Grand Teton, go to Willow Flats, Two Ocean and Emma Mathilde lakes, Oxbow Bend and Cascade and Death canyons.

ELKIn summer about 10,000-20,000 elk live in Yellowstone. The population drops to 5,000 in winter. Many elk winter in the National Elk Refuge near Jackson, Wyo. Adult bull elk weigh up to 700 pounds, while adult females may weigh up to 500 pounds.

SEE THEM: In Yellowstone go to Mammoth Hot Springs, Lamar Valley, Norris Junction, Gibbon River and Madison Junction. In Grand Teton, go to Teton Park Road, Willow Flats and Two Ocean and Emma Mathilde lakes.

BLACK BEARThese omnivores can weigh up to 400 pounds and stretch from two to four feet tall. They can be black, blond or brown, which can lead visitors to misidentify them as grizzlies. Throughout summer and fall, they retreat to higher elevations, chasing berries and trout. They hibernate in winter and mate in summer.

SEE THEM: In Yellowstone see them in the Lamar and Hayden valleys. In Grand Teton, find them in Two Ocean and Emma Mathilde lakes, Colter Bay and Teton Park Road.

WHERE TO STAY Filled with majestic wildlife and out-of-this-world

geysers, Yellowstone National Park is a place you could

spend a whole summer and barely scratch the surface.

Inside the park are eight different lodging options.

CANYON LODGE AND CABINS Located on the east side of Yellowstone near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Canyon Lodge & Cabins is a great home base for your park explorations. After a two-year renovation ending fall 2016, five new sustainably renovated lodges with 400-plus guest rooms now serve park travelers. The lodging facility has more accomodations than any other in Yellowstone. It’s also one of the most eco-conscious. The extensive two-year renovation included using recycled bottles from Yellowstone visitors and wood from trees killed by the pine beetle. You’ll also see countertops made from recycled glass, much of it from the park, and recycled fly ash, which is a byproduct of coal burning. In addition, there’s LED lighting and low-flow toilets.

LAKE LODGE CABINSFrom here, time is captured in the shimmering reflections of lakeside mountains. Lake Lodge has inviting cozy cabins and cafeteria-style dining that create a family-friendly atmosphere. Located near the shores of Yellowstone Lake more or less in the middle of Yellowstone, the Lake Lodge Cabins’ lodge is a charming shingle and log-hewn building with a large porch with rocking chairs. Inside are two stone-framed fireplaces, one with leather couches and chairs around it.

Choose among 186 cabins, some that look like 1960s-era structures rather than charming cabins, that come with a variety of amenities.

GRANT VILLAGELocated along Yellowstone Lake’s West Thumb, Grant Village accommodations give you access to geysers, lake sports and restaurants. Built in 1984, it’s the closest hotel development to Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone’s younger sister to the south.

The village features six two-story buildings each containing 50 rooms. The lodging complex features a full-service restaurant with stunning lake views from the windows, a lakeside restaurant with a casual menu called Lake House Restaurant, a lounge and gift store.

LAKE YELLOWSTONE HOTEL & CABINSMany people think that the oldest lodge in Yellowstone is the Old Faithful Inn. Actually, it’s the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. The bright yellow, columned building has been around since 1891. Upon your arrival, the Lake Yellowstone Hotel’s massive white columns welcome you to a time of classic yet casual elegance.

Today it is cozier and more upscale than ever after the latest round of renovations. While many of the hotel’s amenities are new, you will get a feel for the history and heritage of the park.

The latest renovation was in 2014 when the hotel underwent renovations to the tune of $28.5 million. Like most national parks, internet access is in scarce supply, but the new renovation includes hard-wiring internet in each room and access is provided by a third

party for a fee. A new business center provides computers with free internet and printers. The hotel’s lodge cabins, however, do not have internet access. A new cell tower in the lake area does provide better mobile phone service.

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS HOTEL & CABINSBuilt in 1936, Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins offers travelers a chance to see elk grazing on the grass around the grounds, as well as the travertine terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. This elegant hotel sits at the North Entrance to the park accessed via Gardiner, Mont. The hotel just finished a two-year renovation. Guest rooms and public spaces have been updated, the ski shop expanded and administrative offices have been shuffled. In addition, all hotel rooms now have private bathrooms. The cabins that range in amenities haven’t changed. Stay in cabins with or without a bath.

OLD FAITHFUL INNOld Faithful Inn’s awe-inspiring size is perhaps the first thing a Yellowstone National Park visitor perceives, even from the distant observation benches that circumvent Old Faithful Geyser. Built in 1903-04 and seven stories high, the inn’s predominant feature is its steeply pitched, gabled and cedar shingled roof that reaches seemingly from the sky down to the top of the second floor. Reminiscent of a Plains tepee, the expansive roof communicates to visitors a profound sense of shelter. Eat breakfast, lunch or dinner here.

OLD FAITHFUL LODGE CABINS Built in the 1920s, this historic cabin facility is located near Old Faithful Inn, which was built in 1903-04. Old Faithful Lodge Cabins should not be confused with its older neighbor, the Old Faithful Inn. The Old Faithful Lodge Cabins includes log cabins and a one-story main lodge featuring massive logs and stone pillars. In 2016, 67 cabins underwent renovation.

If you want to stay near Old Faithful, this could be the perfect place for you. The lobby area houses a bakery and snack shop and cafeteria-style food court. You can catch great views of Old Faithful as you walk out the door.

OLD FAITHFUL SNOW LODGE & CABINSDespite its name, the Old Faithful Snow Lodge & Cabins is open in winter and in summer. Winter finds the Snow Lodge in its element, while summer visitors enjoy its laid-back pace and proximity to Old Faithful. Built in 1999, it is the park’s newest full-service hotel. It was designed to follow the “parkitecture” style, using natural building materials to blend into its environment. You can dine in its full-service dining room and purchase a souvenir at the Bear Den Gift Store. Then head out to explore the park and its trails.
