22 days in Yellowstone National Park Itinerary

An exceptionally diverse landscape and varied wildlife have made Yellowstone National Park one of America's most popular parks.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Mormon Row Historic District and S Rim Trail. Step off the beaten path and head to West Thumb Geyser Basin and Grand Loop Road. Change things up with these side-trips from Yellowstone National Park: River Rafting & Tubing (in Gardiner), Grand Teton National Park (Inspiration Point, Cascade Canyon, &more) and Big Sky (Horseback Riding Tours & Ousel Falls Trail). Spend the 28th (Mon) exploring nature at Fairy Falls. There's much more to do: take in the natural beauty of Castle Geyser, admire all the interesting features of Firehole Canyon Drive, contemplate the waterfront views at Earthquake Lake, and get answers to all your questions at Old Faithful Visitor Education Center.
