  • Old Faithful
    The world's most famous geyser, Old Faithful erupts with remarkable predictability roughly every 90 minutes, sending a dramatic tower of scalding water up to 180 feet into the sky. This iconic spectacle, which lasts between 1.5 to 5 minutes, draws visitors from around the globe to experience nature's timekeeping marvel. While waiting for the next show, explore the surrounding geyser basin's network of boardwalks or visit the historic Old Faithful Inn, a masterpiece of rustic architecture.
  • Grand Prismatic Spring
    Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone's most photographed thermal feature, is a natural masterpiece of stunning colors and immense scale. This massive hot spring, larger than a football field, displays brilliant rings of orange, yellow, and blue caused by heat-loving microorganisms. Steam dances across its surface while the deep blue center reaches temperatures near boiling. Visitors can experience this wonder up close from the steamy boardwalk or take a 1.5-mile roundtrip hike to the Grand Prismatic Overlook for a breathtaking aerial view of this rainbow-hued spectacle against its backdrop of white travertine terraces.
  • Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
    The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone presents one of nature's most spectacular displays, where the mighty Yellowstone River plunges over two massive waterfalls into a thousand-foot-deep gorge. The canyon's golden walls, painted with splashes of pink, red, and white by ancient thermal activity, frame the legendary Lower and Upper Falls. The 308-foot Lower Falls thunders with particular majesty, while multiple viewpoints along both rims offer awe-inspiring perspectives of this magnificent landscape. Artist Point and Lookout Point provide especially dramatic views of this natural masterpiece.
  • Yellowstone Geysers - Mud Volcano Area
    Welcome to Yellowstone's most intriguing collection of thermal features, where mud pots bubble and churn like nature's witches' cauldrons. The Mud Volcano area showcases the park's volatile underbelly through a series of gurgling mud pools, steam vents, and acidic hot springs. A short boardwalk loop leads visitors past features like Dragon's Mouth Spring, where thunderous roaring accompanies waves of steam, and the ever-churning Mud Cauldron. The pervasive smell of sulfur adds to the otherworldly atmosphere.
  • Firehole Canyon Drive
    This scenic two-mile, one-way drive follows the dramatic Firehole River as it cuts through steep canyon walls. A favorite spot for osprey nesting, the canyon offers excellent opportunities to watch these magnificent birds dive for fish in the tumbling waters below. The route features pullouts for wildlife viewing and leads to the hidden gem of Firehole Swimming Area, where warm springs meet cool river waters.
  • Hayden Valley
    Migration of various ungulates call Hayden Valley home including bison and elk.
  • West Thumb Geyser Basin
    Where geothermal wonders meet Yellowstone Lake's sapphire waters, West Thumb Geyser Basin offers a uniquely beautiful thermal landscape. This lakeside basin features crystal-clear pools, bubbling hot springs, and delicate geysers set against the backdrop of the lake and distant Absaroka Mountains. The easy boardwalk trail showcases remarkable features like Fishing Cone, where early visitors once cooked their fresh-caught fish in the hot spring, and the brilliant blue Abyss Pool. Winter visitors might spot otters playing among the steam.
  • Continental Divide Trail
    Perched atop Craig Pass at the Continental Divide, Isa Lake presents a fascinating hydrological oddity. This small lily pad-dotted lake is the only natural lake in the world that drains to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans - and it does so backwards. During spring runoff, its western side drains to the Atlantic via the Missouri-Mississippi Rivers, while its eastern waters flow to the Pacific through the Snake-Columbia Rivers, defying the expected continental drainage pattern.
