1

Yellowstone National Park

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

Grand Teton National Park

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

3

Fountain Paint Pot

If you want to see all four types of thermal features in one spot, then make sure to stop in at Fountain Paint Pot. Here you get to see hot springs, geysers, mud pots and fumaroles. A larger carpark and easy 0.6 mile boardwalk loop make it very accessible for all.

4

Lamar Valley

This wide, broad valley is a mecca for serious wildlife watchers. Bison, elk, bears, wolves, antelopes and otters are just a few of the species you might spot in this rich wildlife habitat.

5

Mammoth Hot Springs

There are approximately 50 hot springs at Mammoth Hot Springs, divided into two terraces, Upper and Lower. The springs are constantly changing and have built an impressive variety of travertine terraces, cascading pools, and sometimes colorful mounds. There are boardwalks that allow you to get close, with excellent photo locations on the Lower Terrace. And there is a short driving loop to follow along through the Upper Terrace. Liberty Cap is the most striking formation that stands like a guard for the area. It's a tall, slender mound that is no longer connected to a hot water source. Mammoth is also the location of many visitor services and the Visitor Center and Museum for this corner of the Park.

6

Artists Paintpots

For just a short unpaved trail and boardwalk loop of just over 1 mile with 125 feet of elevation, Artist Paintpots sure packs a punch, with numerous hot springs, geysers, a fumarole and of course mudpots. Through the steam, notice the mudpots stained with iron oxide, creating a pretty pastel palette of colors any artist would be happy to work with. As you follow the trail it slowly climbs to the top of the loop, which provides a great view back out over the thermal area.

7

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is without a doubt the most famous geyser in the entire Park - and with good reason. Since we have been watching it, it's erupted spectacularly every 60 - 90 minutes or so. So not quite on the hour as the myth suggests, but as the most predictable geyser in the Park, it is still close to being "nature's time piece".

8

Upper Geyser Basin

The largest and most concentrated of the geyser basins located in Yellowstone and home to Old Faithful, but there are another 150 geysers to visit in this basin too. Check in at the visitor center for prediction times for multiple geysers, and plan your route exploring the basin to try and time your visit to see a variety of eruptions. Explore the 2 mile round trip paved path from Old Faithful Lodge to Morning Glory Pool, stopping at Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser and Riverside Geyser along the way.

9

Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone. It's colorful microbial mats of red, orange, yellow and green around the edges of the pool contrast the deep blue center center of the pool. There's an extensive boardwalk that allows you to see the colors up close, but there can often be steam blowing off the spring that might cloud any photos. See it from above on the the Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, just south of Midway Geyser Basin. Enter the small Fairy Falls Parking lot and walk the .6 mile with slight elevation of 100 feet to the overlook. Midway Geyser Basin / Grand Prismatic Spring is only a short 7 mile drive from Old Faithful, so it's a natural segway for your day. It's also one of the most photographed, and busy, spots in the National Park, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds.

10

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Incredible forces have carved a 20 mile, up to 1200 foot deep canyon along the path of the Yellowstone River. The carving action of the Yellowstone River has also created 2 magnificent waterfalls inside the canyon. There are 2 aspects to see both the Upper and Lower Falls from, with multiple viewpoints for each. You will want to take in as many of these different views as your time allows.

11

Tower Fall

The Tower Fall viewpoint is just a short walk from the car park. The falls are slender, dropping 132 feet from Tower Creek into the Yellowstone River. What makes them special is that the top of the falls is scattered with volcanic spires. This scene was captured in a painting and submitted as a part of the initial pitch to have Yellowstone declared a National Park. There is a steep trail that continues past the viewpoint. NPS recommends not accessing this trail at times and if the sign is in place, the trail is not recommended. In fact, the best view is the one from the top viewpoint.

12

Roaring Mountain

At its peak in the early 1900's the many fumaroles that cover Roaring Mountain could be heard for miles. But just as impressive to this day are the many noisy steam vents - fumaroles - that force out of the mountain. In the right conditions it can sound like a jet engine. Also along the same section of road, unique conditions created Obsidian Cliffs where veins of volcanic glass formed. Tools created by Native Americans, with glass taken from this site, have been found as far away as Canada and Ohio.

13

St. John's Episcopal Church

A small log chapel originally built to provide service to the staff and visitors of nearby ranches. Spiritual inspiration is easily provided by the window behind the altar perfectly framing the Teton Mountain Range. The chapel still operates as an Episcopal (Anglican Communion) Church.

14

Jackson Lake

Jackson Lake is one of the best outdoor recreation areas to visit during the summer months. Interesting to note the dramatic contrast in style architect Gilbert Stanley employed when designing the Jackson Lake Lodge. This new modern international style, using mass produced materials like concrete and glass had not been seen previously in a National Park, which had developed a reputation for building lodges in what was described as a rustic arts and crafts styling.

15

Boiling River

Boiling River is one of only two areas where you can soak in Yellowstone. It is closed in Spring/early Summer due to the fast current and dangerous high water. There is no lifeguard and some microorganisms live the warm water, so be sure and check current conditions before you go. Please note you can only soak in the river and not in the hot spring.

16

Cunningham Cabin

A view to be envious of, but maybe not the tough lifestyle for those who lived inside. This was home to settlers John and Margaret Cunningham of the Bar Flying U Ranch. As one of the few original structures still standing and with this stunning backdrop, it makes for one of the iconic photo opportunities in Grand Teton.

17

Menor's Ferry Historical Trail

Menors Ferry was a cable ferry operated by its namesake William Menor, and for a quarter century starting in the late 1800s, was the only way to get across the Snake River without traveling for miles in either direction. A working replica of the ferry has been rebuilt along with the general store he operated. It's filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the time. A fun short stop.

18

Moose Wilson Road

Drive slowly along the road connecting the town of Moose and Teton Village, the accommodation base for the Jackson Hole Ski Area. Keep your eyes peeled for both black and grizzly bears, moose and deer through the trees and marshy habitats. The Laurance S Rockefeller Preserve facility is also found along this road. This road is closed to RVs and longer trailers (23 feet+).

19

Mormon Row Historic District

Mormons were among the earliest settlers in the valley of Jackson Hole and they worked cooperatively, at one stage 27 homesteads clustered together. To this day water drains through the irrigation ditches dug by hand. The two most photogenic structures that remain are barns that belonged to two Moulton brothers on neighboring properties. The perfect photo lines up the barns, with the Grand Teton peaks in the background.

20

Signal Mountain Summit Road

It's just a short 5 mile drive from Teton Park Road to the top of Signal Mountain. This is the easiest way to access an elevated viewpoint inside the valley that is Jackson Hole. There are two excellent viewpoints at the summit that provide perspective of how vast the valley is, and how it appears to be completely ringed by mountain ranges. RVs and trailers are prohibited on this road.

21

Snake River Overlook

The Snake River Overlook has to be the most famous view in the Park. In 1942 Ansel Adams captured this stunning image of the Snake River, the Teton Range and a moody sunset. The image was used as a marketing piece to attract visitors to the Grand Tetons.

22

Jenny Lake

Jenny Lake is the most popular and busiest part of the park. The lake was formed as a depression caused by giant glaciers that once sat above it. Take a ride across Jenny Lake by boat (tickets available at the dock) and then enjoy the short walk to Hidden Falls.

23

West Thumb Geyser Basin

Located on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, the West Thumb Geyser Basin can be less congested that other areas of the Park and offers some unique thermal features including Fishing Cone Hot Spring. While tiny, it was a landmark for years after a famous incident, that happened while expedition member Walter Trumbum was reeling a fish onshore. With the final swing, the fish unhooked and fell right into the spring. "For a moment it darted about with wonderful rapidity, as if seeking an outlet. Then it came to the top, dead, and literally boiled." It became quite the attraction until some were badly burned trying to replicate and eventually prohibited as an unhealthy and dangerous practice. Another of the highlights along the trail is Abyss Pool, noted for its depth of 53 feet which you can imagine continuing forever along its sloped walls through a dazzling shade of blue. Large wildlife, like elk, are often seen wandering between the hot pools and geysers at West Thumb.

Pot de peinture fontaine

Si vous voulez voir les quatre types de caractéristiques thermiques en un seul endroit, assurez-vous de vous arrêter à Fountain Paint Pot. Ici, vous pourrez voir des sources chaudes, des geysers, des pots de boue et des fumerolles. Un parking plus grand et une boucle de promenade facile de 0,6 mile le rendent très accessible à tous.

73

Vallée de Lamar

Cette vallée large et large est la Mecque des observateurs sérieux de la faune. Bisons, wapitis, ours, loups, antilopes et loutres ne sont que quelques-unes des espèces que vous pourriez apercevoir dans cet habitat faunique riche.

74

Sources chaudes de mammouth

Il y a environ 50 sources chaudes à Mammoth Hot Springs, divisées en deux terrasses, supérieure et inférieure. Les sources changent constamment et ont construit une variété impressionnante de terrasses en travertin, de piscines en cascade et parfois de monticules colorés. Il y a des promenades qui vous permettent de vous rapprocher, avec d'excellents emplacements pour les photos sur la terrasse inférieure. Et il y a une courte boucle de conduite à suivre à travers la terrasse supérieure. Liberty Cap est la formation la plus frappante qui se dresse comme un gardien de la région. C'est un monticule haut et mince qui n'est plus relié à une source d'eau chaude. Mammoth est également l'emplacement de nombreux services aux visiteurs et du centre d'accueil et du musée de ce coin du parc.

75

Pots d'artistes

Pour un court sentier non pavé et une boucle de promenade d'un peu plus de 1 mile avec 125 pieds d'altitude, Artist Paintpots a du punch, avec de nombreuses sources chaudes, des geysers, une fumerolle et bien sûr des mudpots. À travers la vapeur, remarquez les pots de boue tachés d'oxyde de fer, créant une jolie palette de couleurs pastel avec laquelle tout artiste serait heureux de travailler. Au fur et à mesure que vous suivez le sentier, il monte lentement jusqu'au sommet de la boucle, ce qui offre une vue magnifique sur la zone thermale.

76

Vieux fidèle

Old Faithful est sans aucun doute le geyser le plus célèbre de tout le parc - et pour cause. Depuis que nous le regardons, il éclate de façon spectaculaire toutes les 60 à 90 minutes environ. Donc pas tout à fait à l'heure comme le mythe le suggère, mais en tant que geyser le plus prévisible du parc, il est encore proche d'être "l'horloge de la nature".

Bassin supérieur du geyser

Le plus grand et le plus concentré des bassins de geysers situé à Yellowstone et qui abrite Old Faithful, mais il y a aussi 150 autres geysers à visiter dans ce bassin. Enregistrez-vous au centre d'accueil pour connaître les heures de prévision de plusieurs geysers et planifiez votre itinéraire d'exploration du bassin pour essayer de chronométrer votre visite pour voir une variété d'éruptions. Explorez le chemin pavé aller-retour de 3 km entre Old Faithful Lodge et Morning Glory Pool, en vous arrêtant à Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser et Riverside Geyser en cours de route.

Grand ressort prismatique

Grand Prismatic Spring est la plus grande source chaude de Yellowstone. Ses tapis microbiens colorés de rouge, orange, jaune et vert sur les bords de la piscine contrastent avec le centre bleu profond de la piscine. Il y a une vaste promenade qui vous permet de voir les couleurs de près, mais il peut souvent y avoir de la vapeur soufflant de la source qui pourrait obscurcir les photos. Voyez-le d'en haut sur le Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, juste au sud de Midway Geyser Basin. Entrez dans le petit parking de Fairy Falls et parcourez 0,6 mile avec une légère élévation de 100 pieds jusqu'au belvédère. Midway Geyser Basin /Grand Prismatic Spring n'est qu'à 11 km en voiture d'Old Faithful, c'est donc un segway naturel pour votre journée. C'est aussi l'un des endroits les plus photographiés et les plus fréquentés du parc national, alors arrivez tôt ou tard pour éviter la foule.

79

Grand Canyon du Yellowstone

Des forces incroyables ont creusé un canyon de 20 miles et jusqu'à 1200 pieds de profondeur le long du chemin de la rivière Yellowstone. L'action de sculpture de la rivière Yellowstone a également créé 2 magnifiques chutes d'eau à l'intérieur du canyon. Il y a 2 aspects pour voir les chutes supérieures et inférieures, avec plusieurs points de vue pour chacun. Vous voudrez prendre en compte autant de ces différents points de vue que votre temps le permet.

80

Chute de la tour

Le point de vue Tower Fall se trouve à quelques pas du parking. Les chutes sont minces, tombant de 132 pieds de Tower Creek dans la rivière Yellowstone. Ce qui les rend spéciaux, c'est que le sommet des chutes est parsemé de flèches volcaniques. Cette scène a été capturée dans une peinture et soumise dans le cadre du pitch initial pour que Yellowstone soit déclaré parc national. Il y a un sentier escarpé qui continue après le point de vue. NPS recommande de ne pas accéder à ce sentier à certains moments et si le panneau est en place, le sentier n'est pas recommandé. En fait, la meilleure vue est celle du point de vue supérieur.

81

Montagne rugissante

À son apogée au début des années 1900, les nombreuses fumerolles qui couvrent Roaring Mountain pouvaient être entendues à des kilomètres à la ronde. Mais tout aussi impressionnants à ce jour sont les nombreux évents de vapeur bruyants - les fumerolles - qui sortent de la montagne. Dans les bonnes conditions, cela peut ressembler à un moteur à réaction. Également le long de la même section de route, des conditions uniques ont créé des falaises d'obsidienne où des veines de verre volcanique se sont formées. Des outils créés par les Amérindiens, avec du verre provenant de ce site, ont été trouvés aussi loin que le Canada et l'Ohio.

82

Église épiscopale Saint-Jean

Une petite chapelle en rondins construite à l'origine pour fournir des services au personnel et aux visiteurs des ranchs à proximité. L'inspiration spirituelle est facilement fournie par la fenêtre derrière l'autel encadrant parfaitement la chaîne de montagnes Teton. La chapelle fonctionne toujours comme une église épiscopale (communion anglicane).

83

Lac Jackson

Jackson Lake est l'une des meilleures zones de loisirs en plein air à visiter pendant les mois d'été. Il est intéressant de noter le contraste dramatique dans le style que l'architecte Gilbert Stanley a employé lors de la conception du Jackson Lake Lodge. Ce nouveau style international moderne, utilisant des matériaux produits en masse comme le béton et le verre, n'avait jamais été vu auparavant dans un parc national, qui avait acquis la réputation de construire des lodges dans ce qui était décrit comme un style rustique d'art et d'artisanat.

84

Rivière bouillante

Boiling River est l'un des deux seuls endroits où vous pourrez vous imprégner de Yellowstone. Il est fermé au printemps/début de l'été en raison du courant rapide et des hautes eaux dangereuses. Il n'y a pas de sauveteur et certains micro-organismes vivent dans l'eau chaude, alors assurez-vous de vérifier les conditions actuelles avant de partir. Veuillez noter que vous ne pouvez vous baigner que dans la rivière et non dans la source chaude.

85

Cabine Cunningham

Une vue à envier, mais peut-être pas le style de vie difficile de ceux qui vivaient à l'intérieur. C'était la maison des colons John et Margaret Cunningham du Bar Flying U Ranch. En tant que l'une des rares structures originales encore debout et avec cette toile de fond magnifique, elle constitue l'une des opportunités de photos emblématiques de Grand Teton.

86

Sentier historique du ferry de Menor

Menors Ferry était un ferry à câble exploité par son homonyme William Menor, et pendant un quart de siècle à partir de la fin des années 1800, il a été le seul moyen de traverser la rivière Snake sans parcourir des kilomètres dans les deux sens. Une réplique fonctionnelle du ferry a été reconstruite avec le magasin général qu'il exploitait. Il est rempli d'artefacts et de souvenirs de l'époque. Une petite halte amusante.

87

Chemin Moose-Wilson

Conduisez lentement le long de la route reliant la ville de Moose et Teton Village, la base d'hébergement du domaine skiable de Jackson Hole. Gardez les yeux ouverts pour les ours noirs et les grizzlis, les orignaux et les cerfs à travers les arbres et les habitats marécageux. L'installation Laurance S Rockefeller Preserve se trouve également le long de cette route. Cette route est fermée aux véhicules récréatifs et aux remorques plus longues (23 pieds +).

88

Quartier historique de Mormon Row

Les mormons ont été parmi les premiers colons de la vallée de Jackson Hole et ils ont travaillé en coopération, à un moment donné, 27 fermes se sont regroupées. Aujourd'hui encore, l'eau s'écoule par les fossés d'irrigation creusés à la main. Les deux structures les plus photogéniques qui subsistent sont des granges ayant appartenu à deux frères Moulton sur des propriétés voisines. La photo parfaite aligne les granges, avec les pics de Grand Teton en arrière-plan.

89

Route du sommet de Signal Mountain

Il se trouve à seulement 8 km de Teton Park Road jusqu'au sommet de Signal Mountain. C'est le moyen le plus simple d'accéder à un point de vue surélevé à l'intérieur de la vallée qu'est Jackson Hole. Il y a deux excellents points de vue au sommet qui donnent une idée de l'étendue de la vallée et de la façon dont elle semble être complètement entourée de chaînes de montagnes. Les véhicules récréatifs et les roulottes sont interdits sur cette route.

90

Vue sur la rivière Snake

Le Snake River Overlook doit être la vue la plus célèbre du parc. En 1942, Ansel Adams a capturé cette superbe image de la rivière Snake, de la chaîne Teton et d'un coucher de soleil maussade. L'image a été utilisée comme élément de marketing pour attirer les visiteurs aux Grands Tetons.

91

Lac Jenny

Jenny Lake est la partie la plus populaire et la plus fréquentée du parc. Le lac a été formé comme une dépression causée par des glaciers géants qui se trouvaient autrefois au-dessus. Faites un tour en bateau sur le lac Jenny (billets disponibles au quai), puis profitez de la courte promenade jusqu'à Hidden Falls.

92

Bassin de geyser du pouce ouest

Situé sur les rives du lac Yellowstone, le West Thumb Geyser Basin peut être moins encombré que d'autres zones du parc et offre des caractéristiques thermales uniques, notamment la source chaude de Fishing Cone. Bien que minuscule, c'était un point de repère pendant des années après un incident célèbre, qui s'est produit alors que Walter Trumbum, membre de l'expédition, ramenait un poisson à terre. Avec le balancement final, le poisson s'est décroché et est tombé directement dans la source. "Pendant un moment, il a filé avec une rapidité merveilleuse, comme s'il cherchait une issue. Puis il est arrivé au sommet, mort et littéralement bouilli." C'est devenu une véritable attraction jusqu'à ce que certains soient gravement brûlés en essayant de se reproduire et finalement interdits en tant que pratique malsaine et dangereuse. Un autre des points forts du sentier est Abyss Pool, réputé pour sa profondeur de 53 pieds que vous pouvez imaginer continuer à jamais le long de ses murs inclinés à travers une nuance de bleu éblouissante. On voit souvent de grands animaux sauvages, comme des wapitis, errer entre les bassins chauds et les geysers de West Thumb.

95

Fountain Paint Pot

If you want to see all four types of thermal features in one spot, then make sure to stop in at Fountain Paint Pot. Here you get to see hot springs, geysers, mud pots and fumaroles. A larger carpark and easy 0.6 mile boardwalk loop make it very accessible for all.

96

Lamar Valley

This wide, broad valley is a mecca for serious wildlife watchers. Bison, elk, bears, wolves, antelopes and otters are just a few of the species you might spot in this rich wildlife habitat.

97

Mammoth Hot Springs

There are approximately 50 hot springs at Mammoth Hot Springs, divided into two terraces, Upper and Lower. The springs are constantly changing and have built an impressive variety of travertine terraces, cascading pools, and sometimes colorful mounds. There are boardwalks that allow you to get close, with excellent photo locations on the Lower Terrace. And there is a short driving loop to follow along through the Upper Terrace. Liberty Cap is the most striking formation that stands like a guard for the area. It's a tall, slender mound that is no longer connected to a hot water source. Mammoth is also the location of many visitor services and the Visitor Center and Museum for this corner of the Park.

98

Artists Paintpots

For just a short unpaved trail and boardwalk loop of just over 1 mile with 125 feet of elevation, Artist Paintpots sure packs a punch, with numerous hot springs, geysers, a fumarole and of course mudpots. Through the steam, notice the mudpots stained with iron oxide, creating a pretty pastel palette of colors any artist would be happy to work with. As you follow the trail it slowly climbs to the top of the loop, which provides a great view back out over the thermal area.

99

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is without a doubt the most famous geyser in the entire Park - and with good reason. Since we have been watching it, it's erupted spectacularly every 60 - 90 minutes or so. So not quite on the hour as the myth suggests, but as the most predictable geyser in the Park, it is still close to being "nature's time piece".

100

Upper Geyser Basin

The largest and most concentrated of the geyser basins located in Yellowstone and home to Old Faithful, but there are another 150 geysers to visit in this basin too. Check in at the visitor center for prediction times for multiple geysers, and plan your route exploring the basin to try and time your visit to see a variety of eruptions. Explore the 2 mile round trip paved path from Old Faithful Lodge to Morning Glory Pool, stopping at Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser and Riverside Geyser along the way.

101

Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone. It's colorful microbial mats of red, orange, yellow and green around the edges of the pool contrast the deep blue center center of the pool. There's an extensive boardwalk that allows you to see the colors up close, but there can often be steam blowing off the spring that might cloud any photos. See it from above on the the Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, just south of Midway Geyser Basin. Enter the small Fairy Falls Parking lot and walk the .6 mile with slight elevation of 100 feet to the overlook. Midway Geyser Basin / Grand Prismatic Spring is only a short 7 mile drive from Old Faithful, so it's a natural segway for your day. It's also one of the most photographed, and busy, spots in the National Park, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds.

102

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Incredible forces have carved a 20 mile, up to 1200 foot deep canyon along the path of the Yellowstone River. The carving action of the Yellowstone River has also created 2 magnificent waterfalls inside the canyon. There are 2 aspects to see both the Upper and Lower Falls from, with multiple viewpoints for each. You will want to take in as many of these different views as your time allows.

103

Boiling River

Boiling River is one of only two areas where you can soak in Yellowstone. It is closed in Spring/early Summer due to the fast current and dangerous high water. There is no lifeguard and some microorganisms live the warm water, so be sure and check current conditions before you go. Please note you can only soak in the river and not in the hot spring.

104

Menor's Ferry Historical Trail

Menors Ferry was a cable ferry operated by its namesake William Menor, and for a quarter century starting in the late 1800s, was the only way to get across the Snake River without traveling for miles in either direction. A working replica of the ferry has been rebuilt along with the general store he operated. It's filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the time. A fun short stop.

105

Moose Wilson Road

Drive slowly along the road connecting the town of Moose and Teton Village, the accommodation base for the Jackson Hole Ski Area. Keep your eyes peeled for both black and grizzly bears, moose and deer through the trees and marshy habitats. The Laurance S Rockefeller Preserve facility is also found along this road. This road is closed to RVs and longer trailers (23 feet+).

106

Mormon Row Historic District

Mormons were among the earliest settlers in the valley of Jackson Hole and they worked cooperatively, at one stage 27 homesteads clustered together. To this day water drains through the irrigation ditches dug by hand. The two most photogenic structures that remain are barns that belonged to two Moulton brothers on neighboring properties. The perfect photo lines up the barns, with the Grand Teton peaks in the background.

107

Signal Mountain Summit Road

It's just a short 5 mile drive from Teton Park Road to the top of Signal Mountain. This is the easiest way to access an elevated viewpoint inside the valley that is Jackson Hole. There are two excellent viewpoints at the summit that provide perspective of how vast the valley is, and how it appears to be completely ringed by mountain ranges. RVs and trailers are prohibited on this road.

108

Jenny Lake

Jenny Lake is the most popular and busiest part of the park. The lake was formed as a depression caused by giant glaciers that once sat above it. Take a ride across Jenny Lake by boat (tickets available at the dock) and then enjoy the short walk to Hidden Falls.

109

West Thumb Geyser Basin

Located on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, the West Thumb Geyser Basin can be less congested that other areas of the Park and offers some unique thermal features including Fishing Cone Hot Spring. While tiny, it was a landmark for years after a famous incident, that happened while expedition member Walter Trumbum was reeling a fish onshore. With the final swing, the fish unhooked and fell right into the spring. "For a moment it darted about with wonderful rapidity, as if seeking an outlet. Then it came to the top, dead, and literally boiled." It became quite the attraction until some were badly burned trying to replicate and eventually prohibited as an unhealthy and dangerous practice. Another of the highlights along the trail is Abyss Pool, noted for its depth of 53 feet which you can imagine continuing forever along its sloped walls through a dazzling shade of blue. Large wildlife, like elk, are often seen wandering between the hot pools and geysers at West Thumb.

There are boardwalks that allow you to get close, with excellent photo locations on the Lower Terrace. And there is a short driving loop to follow along through the Upper Terrace. Liberty Cap is the most striking formation that stands like a guard for the area. It's a tall, slender mound that is no longer connected to a hot water source. Mammoth is also the location of many visitor services and the Visitor Center and Museum for this corner of the Park.

Artists Paintpots

For just a short unpaved trail and boardwalk loop of just over 1 mile with 125 feet of elevation, Artist Paintpots sure packs a punch, with numerous hot springs, geysers, a fumarole and of course mudpots. Through the steam, notice the mudpots stained with iron oxide, creating a pretty pastel palette of colors any artist would be happy to work with. As you follow the trail it slowly climbs to the top of the loop, which provides a great view back out over the thermal area.

150

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is without a doubt the most famous geyser in the entire Park - and with good reason. Since we have been watching it, it's erupted spectacularly every 60 - 90 minutes or so. So not quite on the hour as the myth suggests, but as the most predictable geyser in the Park, it is still close to being "nature's time piece".

151

Upper Geyser Basin

The largest and most concentrated of the geyser basins located in Yellowstone and home to Old Faithful, but there are another 150 geysers to visit in this basin too. Check in at the visitor center for prediction times for multiple geysers, and plan your route exploring the basin to try and time your visit to see a variety of eruptions. Explore the 2 mile round trip paved path from Old Faithful Lodge to Morning Glory Pool, stopping at Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser and Riverside Geyser along the way.

152

Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in Yellowstone. It's colorful microbial mats of red, orange, yellow and green around the edges of the pool contrast the deep blue center center of the pool. There's an extensive boardwalk that allows you to see the colors up close, but there can often be steam blowing off the spring that might cloud any photos. See it from above on the the Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail, just south of Midway Geyser Basin. Enter the small Fairy Falls Parking lot and walk the .6 mile with slight elevation of 100 feet to the overlook. Midway Geyser Basin / Grand Prismatic Spring is only a short 7 mile drive from Old Faithful, so it's a natural segway for your day. It's also one of the most photographed, and busy, spots in the National Park, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds.

153

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Incredible forces have carved a 20 mile, up to 1200 foot deep canyon along the path of the Yellowstone River. The carving action of the Yellowstone River has also created 2 magnificent waterfalls inside the canyon. There are 2 aspects to see both the Upper and Lower Falls from, with multiple viewpoints for each. You will want to take in as many of these different views as your time allows.

154

Boiling River

Boiling River is one of only two areas where you can soak in Yellowstone. It is closed in Spring/early Summer due to the fast current and dangerous high water. There is no lifeguard and some microorganisms live the warm water, so be sure and check current conditions before you go. Please note you can only soak in the river and not in the hot spring.

155

Menor's Ferry Historical Trail

Menors Ferry was a cable ferry operated by its namesake William Menor, and for a quarter century starting in the late 1800s, was the only way to get across the Snake River without traveling for miles in either direction. A working replica of the ferry has been rebuilt along with the general store he operated. It's filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the time. A fun short stop.

156

Moose Wilson Road

Drive slowly along the road connecting the town of Moose and Teton Village, the accommodation base for the Jackson Hole Ski Area. Keep your eyes peeled for both black and grizzly bears, moose and deer through the trees and marshy habitats. The Laurance S Rockefeller Preserve facility is also found along this road. This road is closed to RVs and longer trailers (23 feet+).

157

Mormon Row Historic District

Mormons were among the earliest settlers in the valley of Jackson Hole and they worked cooperatively, at one stage 27 homesteads clustered together. To this day water drains through the irrigation ditches dug by hand. The two most photogenic structures that remain are barns that belonged to two Moulton brothers on neighboring properties. The perfect photo lines up the barns, with the Grand Teton peaks in the background.

158

Signal Mountain Summit Road

It's just a short 5 mile drive from Teton Park Road to the top of Signal Mountain. This is the easiest way to access an elevated viewpoint inside the valley that is Jackson Hole. There are two excellent viewpoints at the summit that provide perspective of how vast the valley is, and how it appears to be completely ringed by mountain ranges. RVs and trailers are prohibited on this road.

159

Jenny Lake

Jenny Lake is the most popular and busiest part of the park. The lake was formed as a depression caused by giant glaciers that once sat above it. Take a ride across Jenny Lake by boat (tickets available at the dock) and then enjoy the short walk to Hidden Falls.

160

West Thumb Geyser Basin

Located on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, the West Thumb Geyser Basin can be less congested that other areas of the Park and offers some unique thermal features including Fishing Cone Hot Spring. While tiny, it was a landmark for years after a famous incident, that happened while expedition member Walter Trumbum was reeling a fish onshore. With the final swing, the fish unhooked and fell right into the spring. "For a moment it darted about with wonderful rapidity, as if seeking an outlet. Then it came to the top, dead, and literally boiled." It became quite the attraction until some were badly burned trying to replicate and eventually prohibited as an unhealthy and dangerous practice. Another of the highlights along the trail is Abyss Pool, noted for its depth of 53 feet which you can imagine continuing forever along its sloped walls through a dazzling shade of blue. Large wildlife, like elk, are often seen wandering between the hot pools and geysers at West Thumb.

Fountain Paint Pot

If you want to see all four types of thermal features in one spot, then make sure to stop in at Fountain Paint Pot. Here you get to see hot springs, geysers, mud pots and fumaroles. A larger carpark and easy 0.6 mile boardwalk loop make it very accessible for all.

164

Lamar Valley

This wide, broad valley is a mecca for serious wildlife watchers. Bison, elk, bears, wolves, antelopes and otters are just a few of the species you might spot in this rich wildlife habitat.
