Hi!! Please help me find “ROCHE JAUNE HUCKLEBERRY VODKA, YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK” my fiancé and I are getting married in a few weeks and I would love to gift his parents a bottle of this. The only problem is, we live in Michigan! Back story- His parents took a trip to Yellowstone one summer and later we ended up house sitting and we busted their bottle open and finished it. Later finding out the significance behind it. I would love to gift them a bottle for them to enjoy. 😅

Hi everyone! Going to Yellowstone in mid-August next year, any suggestions for a nice(-ish) place to stay afterward?

• Max budget per night is ~$600, less would always be better
• Within 2 hours driving of Bozeman Airport
• Near some good restaurants would be a major plus

Pretty open to suggestions since we're still a ways away, at the moment I have the Yellowstone Riverside Cottages and Moonlight Basin. Thanks!

I was supposed to work in Yellowstone summer of 2020 but it never happened (thanks covid) I told myself I would go back eventually & 4 years later and we are here!

I really want to do trip solo with my partner meeting me in the grand Tetons after. My question is- is Yellowstone safe for a female traveler end of September???

Planning on spending 4 days at Yellowstone and 3 days at Tetons. Flying in and out of Bozeman and planning on staying in the canyon/lake area in Yellowstone and unsure of my lodging in Tetons. Going to rent a car via Turo.

Should I go to a grocery store and pack a lot of my own food? I’m primary dairy and gluten free but willing to make some sacrifices knowing the food options in the park may be limited

Any tips or help for solo female traveler would be appreciated:)

My family visited YNP this summer and there was a large (3'x3'?) layered wood artwork of the Grand Prismatic Spring for sale in the Old Faithful gift shop. My wife loved it and I was hoping to purchase this for her for Christmas. I've searched various sites and can't seem to find it. Any help or suggestions regarding where to find this would be much appreciated.

I think most people have seen that amazing map showing the movement of the different wolf packs in Voyageurs NP. (If you havent, look it up, really cool)

It was put together using GPS data, and i am wondering if there is anything similar for the yellowstone packs. I know many of the wolves are tagged.

Never seen anything so maybe they dont want that data public, but im just having a blast learning about the yellowstone wolves and wanted to know if anyone had seen something like this that they could share.

Thanks!

A different view of the nature

Planning time in Yellowstone the last week of September in an RV. We don’t like the RV campgrounds as they are parking lots.

Do you have favorite campgrounds or sites that would fit a 30” trailer?

Excited to be visiting for the first time early june.

We are going with the goal of seeing wildlife... bears wolves anything really 🙂. Got a lot of good advice, get up early, the valleys, look for crowds with scopes etc...

While i expect most of our mornings and evenings will be parked in pullouts with a long lens, i would love to experience some walking/hiking perhaps around lunchtimes or some morning if we want a break from driving/parking/waiting.

Any particularly interesting hikes that would potentially overlap with love of birdwatching? Cranes ducks owls, anything really, i just dont know the landscape and where would be eager for suggestions.

Thanks

Just wondering the pros/cons of doing a 4 day trip in the first week of december. I would be driving from colorado springs with an awd truck. From what ive read it seems that this is sort of the worst time to go because the only entrance open is the northern one and the snow tours dont start until the 15th. If i didnt go in december i would plan for april/june instead.

Travelling with a three year old in October 2025, looking for lodging that has two rooms, so we can put her down for a nap and close the door and we can hang out in the other room. I know most of the lodging is rustic so adjoining rooms might be the only option. Hoping I overlooked a suite option somewhere. I love staying in the park, stayed at Mammoth and Old Faithful Inn previously. Enjoy being close to everything and walking to sites.

In case anyone was curious about the size of each. This was taken today while I was leading a hiking tour in the park.

I recently decided I want to visit every national park, I want my first to be Yellowstone.

I was wondering if anyone has some tips for me? It looks like the West Yellowstone entrance is the busiest so I was thinking we’d enter from the North Entrance. Is there actually a difference in how busy it is? Does anyone have a recommended entrance? I’d love to see the geysers of course but I really want to see the bubbling mud and colorful pools. Also, I love heights and want to hike to a great peak if anyone has a recommendation.

Looking for road trip suggestions. Traveling from Colorado to Yellowstone and want to include the Grand Tetons. Thanks

Hi there! So my younger brother and I are considering doing a seasonal summer job through Xanterra/Coolworks/ Delaware North at a national park such as Yellowstone. I am 24 and he is 21. My brother has serving and bartending experience. I have 4+ years retail experience.

I have heard mixed reviews about working in seasonal positions. There are some concerns and questions I have about doing seasonal work:

1. Dorms: Are most dorms 2 person dorms? I would like for my brother and I to share I room together. I really don't wanna share a room with other people other than my brother. Also, what is the bathroom and shower situation like?

2. Food: I have heard that the employee food (EDR) provided is not very good and is like cafeteria style. Is this true? Are you allowed to eat at places like restaurants/cafes that are in park lodges and hotels? How many meals are provided every day?

3. Transportation: My brother and I would be unable to bring our own car. How would we travel on our days off to other sections of the park? That is pretty much one of the main reasons I wanna work there seasonally. So a lack of our own vehicle concerns me.

4. Hours and pay: I read that some people are forced to work more than 40 hours a week. How is this even possible with overtime laws? I most certainly do not want to work more than 40 hours. That defeats the whole purpose of me having adequate time off to explore the park. I have also heard that the starting pay is rather low.

5. Wi-Fi: I read that many places in some national parks do not have good wifi connection. Is there not good wifi available for employees? I pretty much need to have a good wifi connection as I have a small part time freelance writing job that I would continue doing while I am out there that I would need wifi for.

I would love any clarification or honest reviews any of ya'll have regarding your experience working in a national park seasonally. Thanks! (Side note: some of the main parks I am mostly interested in include Olympic, Mt. Rainier, Crater Lake, Acadia, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone).

Is it worth trying to visit Yellowstone in late May? Thinking May 20-25. We will be in Wyoming to visit relatives and wanted to see it but, the more I read, the more worried I get we will encounter snowstorms (we've never driven in snow). If we decided to try and go is there a place we could base ourselves that would be "easier" to see things in case of snow, etc? I was initially thinking of 4 nights in Canyon Lodge (to avoid moving too much). Feasible? Or should we skip it altogether and just stick to the family visit?

Note, we weren't planning on hiking too much as we are traveling with a 3.5 year old. Just hoping for lookouts and animal watching, etc.

Edit to add: We would be driving from Cody and then flying out of Bozeman if we did this

Edit 2: we don’t HAVE to start from Cody. We are actually coming from Casper but Cody looked like a good halfway point on the way. We could also come via the south entrance instead of the east if that makes a difference weather-wise? Maybe stay near Grand Teton as a halfway instead?

My fiancé and I are getting married the last weekend of April 2025 and have decided we want to go to yellowstone for our honeymoon. We want to drive there (from Oklahoma- we love road-trips). We’d leave early on the 27th and hopefully get there by the 28th or 29th and stay until probably May 2nd. We are thinking of staying over by Grand Teton in the village. I have diabetes and have to charge my pump, so camping isn’t really an option.

Our interests so far:

Wildlife (I would love to see wolves) & waterfalls, Sight seeing, Trying foods, Wine tasting, Museums, Horseback riding or snowmobile, Possibly hiking or skiing, Old faithful, Lamar valley, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mammoth hot springs

My question is would it be a good time to go for what we’re wanting to do, neither of our vehicles are four wheel drive. We’d be down to postpone the honeymoon for a better experience- if so when would be a better time to go?

Dear all: we’re planning a trip to US in 2025 and due to school breaks here in Europe we’re considering either during Easter (mid-late April) or Autumn (beginning of October). We have read that Yellowstone will be partially closed during both periods, so is it not recommended to go in either months or is one period better than the other? Many thanks 🙏
