Top Nature in USA

I highly recommend spending a few bucks on a poncho if you plan to go on the Maid of the Mist. I skipped it to save money, but ended up soaking wet and damp for hours. Not fun!

If you're driving, park at the state park instead of the attractions. It's way cheaper and you can walk through the gorgeous park to the falls. Just be ready for a bit of a hike.

Get there about 30 minutes before an eruption. You can catch the little geysers like Castle Geyser while you wait. It's a nice way to avoid the crowd right when Old Faithful blows!

Explore the trails around the geyser afterward. The boardwalks can get crowded, but walking a little further takes you to hidden gems and fewer people!

I suggest packing snacks and water. The food options were limited and a bit pricey, so having a little picnic made my day much better!

Check out lesser-known trails like the Hidden Lake. It’s less busy than Grinnell Glacier but just as breathtaking. Avoid the masses! You breath better in peace!

Pack layers! Weather changes fast – sun, rain, even snow! I didn’t believe it at first, but people were right about that. Be ready for anything!

Download offline maps and hike info. Cell service can be spotty, and it’s super handy to have a backup plan. I got lost once because of this!

Check out the food carts instead of dining in pricey restaurants nearby. I got a delicious pretzel and a soda for under $10, whereas the sit-down places were double that!

If you're on a budget, grab some fresh food from the food kiosks rather than dining out. The variety is great, and you can enjoy a picnic vibe in the park.

I recommend visiting on a weekday around 10 AM. It’s less crowded then, and you can snag a good spot on the lawn or grab a sun lounger.

Don't skip the Crown Fountain – it’s such a unique art installation! I thought it was just a fountain, but it's a whole interactive experience. Plus, kids love it!

Bring some snacks and drinks. The park is beautiful but food prices nearby can be a bit steep. I packed a little picnic and it made for a perfect afternoon.

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can swing it. The crowds on weekends can get pretty insane, especially near the Bean. I went on a Tuesday and it was so much less hectic.

Try to visit on a weekday if you can. It’s way less crowded, and you’ll have a better time wandering around without bumping into too many folks.

Don't miss the Botanical Building, it's beautiful and totally free! Perfect for some great pics and a little peaceful escape from the busyness

My advice is to download a trail map off the park website before you go. The signs are helpful, but they don't always show you all the trails, and a map can help you discover hidden gems.

I suggest bringing your own snacks and water. The food at the park is a bit pricey, and packing a picnic can save a bunch and let you enjoy the views longer

If you're thinking about a guided tour check for discounts online ahead of time. I found one that was 20% off just by searching!

Don’t skip the Cave of the Winds tour! Just be prepared to get wet, but it’s totally worth it! I wish I had worn my old shoes instead of my new ones!
