Top Nature in Wyoming

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!

Don't forget your layers! The weather changes quickly. I was freezing one minute and sweating the next. A good jacket helped me enjoy more without feeling miserable.

Buy your entrance pass online ahead of time. It saved me a lot of time at the gates, and I felt good knowing I wasn't fumbling for cash or cards.

Bring snacks and drinks. I thought I'd find a lot of food options, but some stops are quite limited. A stocked cooler saved my day.

If you're driving through the park, I suggest downloading the park map before you go. Cell service is spotty, and trust me, getting lost wastes time you could be exploring.

Don’t miss the timed eruptions like Old Faithful! Use the park's app to check eruption predictions for the best experience.

I suggest hitting the shorter walks first, then tackling the longer trails later. This way, you'll have energy for the stunning views without burning out early.

If you plan to take photos, come prepared for the spray from the falls. I wish I had a waterproof case for my phone to capture the magic without the worry!

My advice is to bring a refillable water bottle and some snacks. You'll save money and have more energy to enjoy those beautiful views after the hike!

I recommend hitting the trails early, around 7 AM, to soak in the peace and quiet before the crowds arrive. Trust me, it's worth it to see the falls with less noise.
