A must do sightseeing in the lower geysier basin of Yellowstones geysier area. Really impressive to see all the colors the mud pods and the steamfontains and geysiers
A easy half day hike to the nice Fairy Falls and the Imperial Geyser. Off the beaten tracks of Yellowstone but especially the Imperial Geyser was very impressing. There are 2 geysers at the end of the track so make sure that you have seen both of them. The last one (Imperial) is much more impressive than the fist one.
Mt. Washburn provides a great overview over Yellowstone NP, so if the weather is fine don't miss to climb up there and enjoy the view from the fire lookout.
This is the place to go if you want to see more than one petrified tree at Yellowstone. It's a steep hike, but well worth it for the view and what you'll find at the top. You might want to use hiking poles and bring plenty of water. Near the top you can go your own way, the trail isn't really necessary, and you might lose it. If you have a few...
Hike to Grizzly Lake in Yellowstone National Park to do some fly fishing.
I yellowstone kører folk hen til seværdighederne og de bevæger sig kun sjældent mere end 100m væk fra parkeringspladserne. Dette gælder også for området omkring Yellowstone Canyon.
Tager denne tur, vil du hurtigt mærke hvor let det er at komme væk fra turist-mylderet og ud hvor du kan få lov at opleve naturfænomener, vilde dyr som kyoter, moskus, råvildt og bjørne. Uden at blive forstyrret af andre nysgerrige turister.
Nice afternoon stroll to Cascade Lake. Nothing spectacular, but nice untouched nature just next to one of Yellowstones main roads.
