• Madison River - Begin your journey by driving along the pristine Madison River. Renowned as one of the top fly fishing rivers in the country, it proudly holds the title of a Blue Ribbon Fishery. Along the way, you’ll pass by Talus Mountain, Mount Haynes, and National Park Mountain.

Explore nearby attractions such as the Visitor Center, the Tribal Heritage Center, or the hydrothermal features along the Geyser Loop Trail. For a snack, coffee, or restroom break, visit the historic Old Faithful Lodge, where you’ll also find a gift shop.

• Madison Junction, Yellowstone National Park - Start your exciting day loop by heading right at Madison Junction. Remember to stop by the restroom if needed!

• Firehole Canyon Drive - The moment has arrived—Mammoth Hot Springs! Highlights of this 1.5-mile drive include the Orange Spring Mound, Angel Terrace, and Aphrodite Terrace. Don’t miss this iconic drive around Yellowstone’s white travertine terraces.

• Fountain Flat Drive - Take a brief detour down Fountain Flat Drive, where you’ll discover a vibrant, grassy meadow, two small hot springs, and the legendary Maiden’s Grave. You’ll also enjoy another great view of the Firehole River, teeming with trout.

• Firehole Lake Drive - A short loop on the 3-mile Firehole Lake Drive reveals several breathtaking hydrothermal features, including the White and Pink Dome Geysers and the Great Dome Geyser. These can be viewed from roadside lookouts or short boardwalk walks.

• Midway Geyser Basin - The Midway Geyser Basin might become your favorite park stop. Along the short boardwalk trail encircling the massive, 370’ Grand Prismatic Spring, you’ll also encounter several smaller hot springs.

If time permits, visit Fairy Falls Trailhead and take the 0.6-mile one-way hike to Grand Prismatic Overlook. For the adventurous, this trail extends another mile (each way) to Fairy Falls, one of the park’s most stunning waterfalls.

• Old Faithful - A Yellowstone visit isn’t complete without seeing the iconic, dependable Old Faithful. The geyser erupts approximately every 60-110 minutes, so if you arrive early, don’t worry.

Explore nearby attractions such as the Visitor Center, Tribal Heritage Center, or the surrounding hydrothermal features along the Geyser Loop Trail.

For a snack, coffee, or restroom break, visit the historic Old Faithful Lodge, where you’ll also find a gift shop.

• Kepler Cascades - A short boardwalk offers views of the roaring Kepler Cascades. This multi-tiered waterfall has drops as long as 50 feet.

• Continental Divide - Stop at Isa Lake to see the only lake in the world that flows into two different oceans. Additionally, this lake drains backward—the western end flows to the Atlantic, and the eastern end flows to the Pacific. It’s a truly unique stop.

• West Thumb Geyser Basin - This might be one of Yellowstone’s best-kept secrets. Without straying far from the main path, you can enjoy one of the park’s finest geyser basins. Be sure to see the famous Fishing Cone Geyser while there! The Yellowstone Lake Overlook Trail is also worth a walk if time allows. It’s a quick 1.7-mile loop popular with birdwatchers.

• Gull Point - Enjoy a scenic drive along the lake peninsula and have a picnic at Gull Point.

• Fishing Bridge - General Store - Fishing Bridge features a ranger station, a general store, and, of course, the fishing bridge. Walk along the bridge to spot the Cutthroat trout gathering below. Then, rejoin the Grand Loop and continue north.

• Hayden Valley - Continue north into the wildlife haven known as Hayden Valley. This marshy landscape attracts grazers, which in turn attract predators. Proceed until you reach the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

• Lehardy’s Rapids - Take a short boardwalk to the Yellowstone River and the roaring LeHardy Rapids. In early spring, these rapids are alive with jumping, spawning cutthroat trout.

• Yellowstone Geysers - Mud Volcano Area - This may not be one of the park’s most famous geysers, but it should be! Mud Volcano is one of the park’s most unique and overlooked hydrothermal areas—and one of the most acidic! Be sure to see Dragon’s Mouth Hot Spring—a roaring, sloshing, bubbling hot spring full of character!

• Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - This drive leads to two more fantastic canyon viewpoints—the Upper Falls View and Artist Point—along with some optional hikes. Uncle Tom’s Trail is recommended. Take time to admire this geological wonder: the eras of rock carved through by the Yellowstone River’s incredible power are truly awe-inspiring.

• Canyon Village - General Store - Canyon Village offers a restaurant, a lodge, several shops, and a visitor center. If you do nothing else, visit the visitor center—the displays, including a lit diorama of Yellowstone, are informative. They help visualize complex geological processes like the formation of the canyon and caldera.

• Washburn Hot Springs - The Washburn Hot Springs Overlook is a great place to stretch your legs, view the Yellowstone caldera, and take a quick restroom break.

• Chittenden Loop Trail - The drive up to Mount Washburn is sure to leave you breathless—whether from the heights or the narrow road. The stunning view that awaits you overlooks the river, peaks, and valleys in the distance.

• Tower Fall - Tower Falls features a general store and, as you might guess, a waterfall. A short boardwalk leads to several breathtaking overlooks of the 132-foot falls. There’s also a one-mile there-and-back trail leading to the river and past a few bubbling cauldrons.

• Soda Butte - Next is the majestic hot spring cone known as Soda Butte. Although it’s no longer active, it’s still worth a visit. Additionally, cliff swallows have turned the cone into a bird condominium, so be sure to check it out!

• Petrified Tree - Take a short detour to see one of Yellowstone’s petrified trees—a fossilized remnant from when Yellowstone was covered in redwoods and warm-weather forests.

• Blacktail Plateau Drive - Blacktail Drive is accessible to all vehicles, but exercise caution after rain. This gravel road is more scenic and private than the main road, offering a better chance to see wildlife. Note that this one-way drive will take you back to Tower Junction, so you’ll need to turn around if you choose this optional side-trip.

• Undine Falls - Undine Falls is where Lava Creek cascades over basaltic stones. To reach the overlook, descend a few wooden steps. At the next pullover—just seconds ahead—lies the Lava Creek Trail and Picnic Area.

• Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces - It’s time to explore Mammoth’s famous Lower Terrace. Those stunning photos of snow-white terraces you see online? They happen right here.

• Upper Terrace Drive - Now, it’s on to the Upper Terrace! Highlights of this 1.5-mile drive include the Orange Spring Mound, Angel Terrace, and Aphrodite Terrace. Don’t miss this iconic drive around Yellowstone’s white, otherworldly landscape.

• The Hoodoos - This quick looping drive takes you through Yellowstone’s “hoodoos.” Though called “hoodoos,” they are actually boulders that rolled down from nearby Terrace Mountain. Real hoodoos are formed by erosion. Take a few minutes to explore this boulder field and “false hoodoos” for yourself.

• Rustic Falls - These two pullovers allow you to admire the plunging rustic falls and the Golden Gate viaduct. Though this new concrete bridge is much more stable than its wooden predecessor, its sheer height is sure to impress.

• Sheepeater Cliffs - Stop to see Sheepeater Cliff, a geometric basaltic wall named for the Sheepeater people, one of the few Native American tribes to have lived in Yellowstone year-round. These hexagonal columns formed naturally over 1.3 million years ago and cooled into the unique shape seen today.

• Obsidian Cliff - Due to some overly curious tourists (shame!), walking directly to the Obsidian Cliff is not allowed. However, you’ll get a great view as you drive past, and then stop at the exhibit. Take a short 5-minute walk for another view of the cliff, with black glass shining and shimmering in the sun.

• Roaring Mountain - You’ve seen them, and you’ve smelled them. Now, let’s hear them. Roaring Mountain is dotted with fumaroles, super-hot chasms that “roar” and hiss with steam. The ash-gray color of this mountain is caused by sulfur-reducing bacteria that dissolve the lava stone over time.

• Museum of the National Park Ranger - Drive down this side road to watch a film about park rangers, explore historical exhibits, and perhaps chat with a current or retired park ranger. After all, without these dedicated employees, none of what you’re experiencing would be possible.

• Norris Geyser Basin - Not “geysered out” yet, are you? Because there’s one more major basin to see before heading to Mammoth Hot Springs. The Norris Geyser Basin is Yellowstone’s hottest and oldest geyser basin, featuring the tallest geyser in the world! Don’t miss this 2.9-mile looping boardwalk trail.

• Artists Paintpots - Artists’ Paintpots 0.6-mile boardwalk begins in pine woods and emerges into a basin full of colorful mud pots. It’s one of Shaka’s top spots for avoiding crowds while enjoying the park’s unique, bubbly, gurgly hydrothermals.

• Beryl Spring - This is one of the park’s most radiant hot springs, with a striking blue color like that of a beryl stone. It’s right by the roadside, making it well worth the stop.

• Gibbon Falls - Want to enjoy the music of the Gibbon River while having lunch? Visit the Gibbon Picnic Area! Afterward, it’s less than a half-mile drive to Gibbon Falls, named for early Yellowstone explorer Colonel Gibbon.

• Tuff Cliffs Picnic Area - Yellowstone’s early volcanic eruptions left behind this mountain of compacted, welded volcanic ash. Be sure to stop by to see it. Additionally, picnic tables and a restroom are available at the pullover.

• West Yellowstone - From here, enjoy a scenic drive at dusk through the west exit. Then, you’ll be back in West Yellowstone, ready to rest and recharge for your day in Grand Teton!
