Things to do in West Yellowstone

West Yellowstone is a small town built right against Yellowstone National Park’s west entrance, the park’s busiest gate and the most direct route to Old Faithful and the geyser basins. Nearly everything here serves the park’s visitors, from hotels and outfitters to fly shops, restaurants and tour operators, and the town’s population swells dramatically in summer. In winter, West Yellowstone becomes a hub for snowmobile and snowcoach tours into the park and for cross-country skiing on the Rendezvous Ski Trails, which host races and training camps.

  1. 01

    Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Basin

    About 30 miles into the park, boardwalks wind through the world’s greatest concentration of geysers, with Old Faithful erupting at fairly predictable intervals through the day.

  2. 02

    Grand Prismatic Spring

    In the Midway Geyser Basin, the largest hot spring in the United States glows in rings of blue, orange and yellow, best seen from the Fairy Falls trail overlook.

  3. 03

    Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center

    In town, this nonprofit wildlife park cares for grizzly bears and wolves that cannot live in the wild, with viewing areas and educational exhibits.

  4. 04

    Madison River

    Flowing west out of the park and through valleys north of Hebgen Lake, the Madison is one of the most famous trout rivers in the West, fished by wading and drift boat.

  5. 05

    Earthquake Lake

    West of town, a 1959 earthquake triggered a landslide that dammed the Madison and created this lake, with a visitor center explaining the night’s events.

  6. 06

    Yellowstone Historic Center

    Housed in the old Union Pacific depot, this museum covers the era when travelers arrived by train for stagecoach tours of the park, along with the area’s history.
