Heads Up
  • Book national park entry and lodging well in advance as spots fill up a year out.
  • Carry bear spray and maintain a safe distance from all wildlife, especially bison and bears.
  • Check for seasonal road closures if traveling before June or after September.
  • Stay on designated boardwalks in geothermal areas to avoid life-threatening burns.
