Directions

From Jackson, drive north through Grand Teton National Park toward Yellowstone National Park’s South Entrance; check seasonal road conditions.

Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is widely recognized as the world’s first national park. Its creation helped shape the idea that remarkable landscapes should be protected for public enjoyment, though the region had long been home to and used by Indigenous peoples. Yellowstone sits above a volcanic hotspot, which fuels its geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and steam vents. The park contains nearly half of the world’s active geysers, including Old Faithful. Beyond its geothermal areas, visitors encounter mountains, waterfalls, forests, and valleys where bison and other wildlife roam. For travelers starting in Jackson, Yellowstone offers a striking contrast to the peaks and lakes of neighboring Grand Teton National Park.

Before you enter

  • Check current road and entrance conditions; some park routes close seasonally.
  • Download maps before leaving Jackson, as mobile service may be unreliable.
  • Pack layers, water, and food for long drives between stops.
  • Allow a full day or more rather than trying to see the entire park in a few hours.

What to expect

  • Expect substantial driving distances between geothermal basins, overlooks, and wildlife areas.
  • Old Faithful is a highlight, but eruption times vary.
  • Wildlife may slow traffic; leave extra time in your schedule.
  • Weather and conditions can differ greatly across the park.

During your visit

  • Stay on boardwalks in geothermal areas; the ground beyond them can be dangerous.
  • Give wildlife plenty of space, even when animals appear calm.
  • Use designated pullouts for photos instead of stopping in the roadway.
  • Bring a reusable water bottle and take all litter with you.
