The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers for changing weather
Yellowstone’s elevation can cause temperatures to fluctuate rapidly; layering lets you adapt comfortably throughout the day.
Wear sturdy footwear
Boardwalks and viewpoints near geysers and canyons can be uneven and slippery—choose shoes with good grip and ankle support.
Bring water and stay hydrated
At over 7,000 feet altitude, dehydration sets in faster; carry water beyond what’s provided to maintain energy levels.
Keep a safe distance from wildlife
Bison, bears, and wolves roam freely; maintain at least 100 yards distance to ensure safety and avoid disturbing animals.
