Grand Prismatic Spring
Feast your eyes on a stunning rainbow of colors at the Grand Prismatic Spring. This is a quick stop, but definitely worth it.
Old Faithful
This is a must-see at Yellowstone. We recommend visiting this attraction multiple times & at different times of the day. Seeing it erupt at night under the stars is really cool!
Be sure to hit this trail near Old Faithful. The trail takes you to a variety of other geysers & cool thermal features. Walk the full 4.5 miles or choose a shorter route.
