Hello, Welcome to Travel with Suri. Yellowstone national park is world renowned for its epic
landscapes, unique wildlife and fascinating natural history. Each year, millions of people
come from all over the world to witness its wonders and for some, it has been a lifetime
dream. This national 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 you have seen or story you heard just didn't do its justice.
There are tons of things to do in Yellowstone national park
but in this episode we are going to see top 10 things to do in Yellowstone national park.
Grand prismatic spring - this is the largest hot spring in the united states.
The vibrant colors are the result of microbial life along the edges of the hot spring.
Get up close to the grand prismatic spring from the boardwalk trail at midway geyser basin.
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 it looks like 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 maximum height of around 200 feet.
Between 3500 and 8500 gallons of water are expelled from the geyser.
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 trails totaling 0.75 miles past all the main features.
bison, elk, black bear, grizzly bear, moose and big horn sheep all call Yellowstone home.
Haydn valley is one of the best places to see the wildlife in Yellowstone national park.
This is one of Yellowstone's iconic sites in fact it is my favorite.
You can drive or walk to the viewpoints on both the north and south rims. Go to artist point for
the best view. For a little more adventure and exercise hike to the brink of the lower falls.
For thousands of years, the Yellowstone river has been carving out this canyon.
Norris geyser basin is another fairly large collection of geothermal futures.
A visit here consist of seeing two basins: back basin and porcelain basin. If you are
lucky you can watch an eruption of steamboat geyser - the world's tallest active geyser.
The mud volcano group on the west side of the road has a 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 intervals, 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.
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 especially mud pots.
Mammoth hot springs is a large complex of hot springs 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. Haydn valley and Lammer valley are the best spots for wildlife sightings.
