Hello, Welcome to Travel with Suri. This national park is world renowned for its epic landscapes,
unique wildlife and fascinating natural history.
This park is one of those places that takes your breath away every time you visit.
The first time you see the Geysers, hot springs and other thermal features you realize that any
photo or video you have seen or story you heard just didn't do it justice. It is the
first national park in the US and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world.
With over half the world's geysers, this park offers tremendous opportunities to see those
geology wonders in action. Welcome to the great Yellowstone national park -Wyoming.
Grand prismatic spring - what a breathtaking one. This is a largest hot spring in the US. The
vibrant colors are the result of microbial life along the edges of the hot spring.
For a jaw dropping view of the grand prismatic spring, don't miss the view from the overlook.
On a sunny day, the colors are so spectacular that you feel like you are in an alien planet.
Old faithful is the world's most famous geyser. for decades, this geyser has been erupting on a
very reliable schedule. Eruptions of old faithful last between 1.5 and 5 minutes. During this time,
the water reaches a height of 106 to 184 feet with an average height of 130 feet.
West thumb is a small basin compared with others to the west and most of its geysers have become
dormant in recent years but it has the added attraction of being right next to Yellowstone lake
and in fact extends somewhere beneath, with several underwater geysers discovered as
recently as the 1990s. The basin contains many colorful hot pools and springs,
steam vents and mud pots and two circular boardwalk trail totaling 0.75 miles pass the
main features which include the thumb paint pots, seismograph and bluebell pools and twin geysers.
Yellowstone's huge wide valleys make excellent habitat for wildlife.
For your best chance of sporting bears, wolves, bison head to Hayden valley.
The grand canyon of Yellowstone : For thousands of years, the Yellowstone river has been carving
out this canyon. For little more adventure and exercise, hike to the brink of the lower falls.
This is one of Yellowstone's iconic sites and my personal favorite too. You can drive or walk
to the viewpoints on both the north and south rims. Go to artist point for the best view.
Norris geyser basin this is another fairly large collection of geothermal
features. A visit here consists of seeing two basins : back basin and porcelain basin.
Steamboat geyser is the world's tallest active geyser. If you are
lucky you can watch an eruption, but the last major eruption happens 50 years ago.
The great fountain geyser is a fountain type geyser located in the firehole lake area;
watch closely and you will see flashes of bright blue as steam
bubbles explode and propel water from the crater.
The mud volcano group, on the west side of the road, has one mile loop trail that encounters
features like dragon's mouth spring - a small flooded cave where gas nicely pushes aside the
water at regular interval. Mud geyser - a simmering lake of grey brown water
and mud volcano itself, another fermenting muddy pool.
If you are driving between Norris geyser basin and Madison junction take a quick stop to spot
Gibbon falls located on the gibbon river. The falls drop roughly 84 feet in a gradual descent.
Park in the designated area near the top of the falls for a great view.
Three miles south of Norris geyser basin the equally large but generally less active
gibbon geyser basin contains several dispersed collection of thermal features of which the most
popular is artist paint pots, a group of over 50 springs geysers vents and specially mud pots.
Mammoth hot springs is a large complex of hot spring that is located in north Yellowstone.
Hot, steaming water spills out over travertine terraces
making this one of the most unique geothermal areas in the park.
For the dining options inside the national park you have restaurants in old faithful area,
mammoth hot springs area, canyon village area, lake area and grand village area.
Bison, elk, black bear, Grizzly bear, moose, big horn sheep, wolves and deer
all call Yellowstone home. Haydn valley and lamer valley are the best spots for wildlife sightings.
For accommodation, it is always a great idea to stay inside the park
but the hotels will be sold out months before. So if you want to stay outside the park the best
option would be staying in west Yellowstone, it is like 10 minutes to the west entrance.
I would highly recommend visiting this national park,
in fact I will keep this in my top three best places to see in the US.
