The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Temperatures shift quickly—mornings are cool and boardwalks can be hot from thermal activity; a lightweight insulating layer is essential.
Keep distance from wildlife
Bison and elk are unpredictable—stay at least 100 yards from bears and wolves, and 25 yards from other wildlife as a rule of thumb.
Charge batteries and bring a zoom
Cell service is limited; bring spare camera batteries and a 200–400mm lens to photograph animals from a safe distance.
Hydrate and protect from sun
High plateaus and open valleys increase sun exposure—carry water, sunscreen and a brimmed hat even on cool days.

Conservation Note
Stay on boardwalks and marked trails to protect fragile thermal features; the park emphasizes Leave No Trace practices and seasonal road or trail closures to protect wildlife and habitats.
Yellowstone was established as the world’s first national park in 1872; the landscape remains shaped by volcanic activity atop a vast caldera and by centuries of Indigenous presence in the region.
