Фоунтаин Паинт Пот

Ако желите да видите све четири врсте термалних карактеристика на једном месту, обавезно свратите у Фоунтаин Паинт Пот. Овде можете видети топле изворе, гејзире, посуде са блатом и фумароле. Већи паркинг и лагана петља за шеталиште од 0,6 миље чине га веома приступачним за све.

4

Ламар Валлеи

Ова широка, широка долина је мека за озбиљне посматраче дивљих животиња. Бизони, лосови, медведи, вукови, антилопе и видре су само неке од врста које можете уочити у овом богатом станишту дивљих животиња.

5

Мамут Хот Спрингс

Постоји око 50 топлих извора у Маммотх Хот Спрингс, подељених на две терасе, Горњу и Доњу. Извори се стално мењају и изградили су импресивну разноликост травертинских тераса, каскадних базена, а понекад и шарених хумки. Постоје шеталишта која вам омогућавају да се приближите, са одличним локацијама за фотографије на Доњој тераси. И постоји кратка петља за вожњу кроз Горњу терасу. Либерти Цап је најупечатљивија формација која стоји као чувар подручја. То је висока, витка гомила која више није повезана са извором топле воде. Мамут је такође локација многих служби за посетиоце и центра за посетиоце и музеја за овај кутак парка.

6

Артистс Паинтпотс

За само кратку неасфалтирану стазу и пешачку петљу од нешто више од 1 миље са 125 стопа надморске висине, Артист Паинтпотс је сигурно пун погодак, са бројним топлим изворима, гејзирима, фумаролама и наравно блатњацима. Кроз пару, приметите блато обојене оксидом гвожђа, стварајући лепу пастелну палету боја са којом би сваки уметник радо радио. Док пратите стазу, она се полако пење до врха петље, што пружа одличан поглед на термалну област.

7

Олд Фаитхфул

Олд Фаитхфул је без сумње најпознатији гејзир у целом парку - и то са добрим разлогом. Откако га гледамо, спектакуларно избија сваких 60-90 минута. Дакле, не баш у сату како мит сугерише, али као најпредвидљивији гејзир у Парку, још увек је близу да буде „временски део природе“.

8

Горњи басен гејзира

Највећи и најконцентрисанији базени гејзира који се налазе у Јелоустону и дом Олд Фаитхфула, али постоји још 150 гејзира које треба посетити иу овом басену. Пријавите се у центар за посетиоце да бисте сазнали време предвиђања за више гејзира и испланирајте своју руту истражујући басен да бисте покушали да одредите време посете да бисте видели разне ерупције. Истражите поплочану стазу дугу 2 миље од Олд Фаитхфул Лодге до Морнинг Глори Поол, заустављајући се у Цастле Геисер, Даиси Геисер и Риверсиде Геисер.

9

Велико призматично пролеће

Гранд Присматиц Спринг је највећи топли извор у Јелоустону. То су шарене микробне простирке црвене, наранџасте, жуте и зелене боје око ивица базена у контрасту са тамноплавим средишњим средиштем базена. Постоји велика шеталишта која вам омогућавају да видите боје изблиза, али често може доћи до паре која издувава извор који може замаглити било коју фотографију. Погледајте га одозго на стази Гранд Присматиц Оверлоок, јужно од басена гејзира Мидвеј. Уђите на мали паркинг Фаири Фаллс и прошетајте 0,6 миљу са благом надморском висином од 100 стопа до погледа. Мидваи Геисер Басин /Гранд Присматиц Спринг је удаљен само 7 миља вожње од Олд Фаитхфула, тако да је то природан сегваи за ваш дан. То је такође једно од најфотографисанијих и најпрометнијих места у Националном парку, па дођите рано или касно да бисте избегли гужву.

10

Велики кањон Јелоустона

Невероватне силе су исклесале кањон од 20 миља, до 1200 стопа дубок дуж стазе реке Јелоустон. Резбарење реке Јелоустон је такође створило 2 величанствена водопада унутар кањона. Постоје 2 аспекта са којих се могу видети и Горњи и Доњи водопади, са више тачака гледишта за сваки. Желећете да прихватите онолико ових различитих погледа колико вам време дозвољава.

11

Товер Фалл

Видиковац Товер Фалл је само неколико минута хода од паркинга. Слапови су витки, спуштају се 132 стопе од Тауер Крика у реку Јелоустон. Оно што их чини посебним је то што је врх водопада разбацан вулканским торњевима. Ова сцена је снимљена на слици и поднета као део почетног гласа да Јелоустон буде проглашен националним парком. Постоји стрма стаза која се наставља поред видиковца. НПС препоручује да се повремено не приступа овој стази и ако је знак на месту, стаза се не препоручује. У ствари, најбољи поглед је онај са врха.

12

Роаринг Моунтаин

На свом врхунцу раних 1900-их, многе фумароле које покривају Роаринг Моунтаин могле су се чути километрима. Али једнако импресивни до данас су многи бучни парни отвори - фумароле - који силом излазе из планине. У правим условима може звучати као млазни мотор. Такође дуж исте деонице пута, јединствени услови су створили опсидијанске литице где су се формирале вене вулканског стакла. Алати које су креирали Индијанци, са стаклом преузетим са овог сајта, пронађени су чак и у Канади и Охају.

13

Јованова епископска црква

Мала капела од брвнара првобитно изграђена да пружа услуге особљу и посетиоцима оближњих ранчева. Духовну инспирацију лако пружа прозор иза олтара који савршено уоквирује планински ланац Тетон. Капела и даље функционише као епископална (англиканска заједница) црква.

14

Јацксон Лаке

Језеро Џексон је једно од најбољих подручја за рекреацију на отвореном за посету током летњих месеци. Занимљиво је приметити драматичан контраст у стилу архитекте Гилберта Стенлија који је користио када је дизајнирао Јацксон Лаке Лодге. Овај нови модерни међународни стил, који користи масовно произведене материјале попут бетона и стакла, раније није виђен у Националном парку, који је развио репутацију за изградњу ложа у ономе што је описано као рустикални стил уметности и заната.

15

Боилинг Ривер

Кипућа река је једно од само две области у којима се можете утопити у Јелоустону. Затворен је у пролеће/рано лето због брзе струје и опасне велике воде. Нема спасиоца и неки микроорганизми живе у топлој води, па се уверите и проверите тренутне услове пре него што кренете. Имајте на уму да се можете намакати само у реци, а не у врелом извору.

16

Цуннингхам Цабин

Поглед на који треба завидјети, али можда не и тежак начин живота за оне који су живјели унутра. Ово је био дом досељеника Џона и Маргарет Канингем са ранча Бар Флиинг У. Као једна од ретких оригиналних грађевина које још увек стоје и са овом задивљујућом позадином, чини једну од иконичних прилика за фотографисање у Гранд Тетону.

17

Историјска стаза Меноровог трајекта

Менорс Ферри је био жичарски трајект којим је управљао његов имењак Вилијам Менор, и четврт века, почевши од касних 1800-их, био је једини начин да се пређе преко реке Снејк без путовања миљама у оба смера. Радна реплика трајекта је поново изграђена заједно са продавницом којом је управљао. Пун је артефаката и меморабилија из тог времена. Забавно кратко заустављање.

18

Моосе Вилсон Роад

Возите полако путем који повезује град Моосе и Тетон Виллаге, смештајну базу за скијалиште Јацксон Холе. Пазите на црне и гризлије, лосове и јелене кроз дрвеће и мочварна станишта. Објекат Лауранце С Роцкефеллер Пресерве се такође налази дуж овог пута. Овај пут је затворен за кампере и дуже приколице (23 стопе+).

19

Историјски округ Мормон Ров

Мормони су били међу првим насељеницима у долини Џексон Хола и радили су кооперативно, у једној фази 27 домаћинстава окупљених заједно. До данас вода отиче кроз ручно ископане јарке за наводњавање. Две најфотогеничније структуре које су остале су штале које су припадале двојици браће Моултон на суседним имањима. Савршена фотографија поређају штале, са врховима Гранд Тетон у позадини.

20

Сигнал Моунтаин Суммит Роад

То је само 5 миља вожње од Тетон Парк Роад до врха планине Сигнал. Ово је најлакши начин да се приступи узвишеном видиковцу унутар долине која је Јацксон Холе. Постоје два одлична видиковца на самиту који пружају перспективу колико је долина огромна и како изгледа да је потпуно окружена планинским ланцима. Камиони и приколице су забрањени на овом путу.

21

Снаке Ривер Оверлоок

Поглед на реку Снаке мора да је најпознатији поглед у парку. Године 1942. Ансел Адамс је снимио ову задивљујућу слику реке Снејк, ланца Тетон и ћудљивог заласка сунца. Слика је коришћена као маркетиншки комад за привлачење посетилаца у Гранд Тетонс.

22

Јенни Лаке

Јенни Лаке је најпопуларнији и најпрометнији део парка. Језеро је настало као депресија изазвана џиновским глечерима који су некада седели изнад њега. Провозајте се чамцем преко језера Јенни (улазнице су доступне на пристаништу), а затим уживајте у краткој шетњи до Хидден Фаллса.

23

Западни гејзирски басен

Смештен на обали језера Јелоустон, басен гејзира Западног палца може бити мање закрчен од других делова парка и нуди неке јединствене термалне карактеристике, укључујући врући извор Фисхинг Цоне. Иако мали, годинама је био обележје након познатог инцидента, који се догодио док је члан експедиције Валтер Трумбум мотао рибу на копну. Последњим замахом риба се откачила и пала право у извор. „На тренутак је јурцао наоколо невероватном брзином, као да тражи излаз. Онда је дошао до врха, мртав и буквално узаврео.“ Постало је прилично привлачно све док неки нису били тешко спаљени покушавајући да се реплицирају и на крају забрањени као нездрава и опасна пракса. Још једна од најважнијих знаменитости дуж стазе је базен Бездан, познат по својој дубини од 53 стопе коју можете замислити како се заувек наставља дуж његових нагнутих зидова кроз блиставу нијансу плаве боје. Велике дивље животиње, попут лосова, често се виде како лутају између врућих базена и гејзира у Вест Тхумб-у.

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;

25

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;

26

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.

27

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.

28

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.

29

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.

30

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".

31

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.

32

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.

33

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.

34

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.

35

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.

36

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+).

37

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.

38

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.

39

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.

40

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.

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.

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".

65

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.

66

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.

67

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.

68

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.

69

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.

70

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+).

71

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.

72

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.

73

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.

74

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.

78

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.

79

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.
