Old Faithful Geyser

This is a natural monument that every visitor to Yellowstone should not miss, and how could you? Old Faithful Geyser erupts. Thanks to the geyser's record of predictability and sophistication, crowds love coming here. Tourists can watch the show from platforms built around the geyser, or head over to Old Faithful Inn (the historic lodging facility that gives a taste of how things were in early park days).

Grand Prismatic Spring

The Grand Prismatic Spring is the most photographed feature in Yellowstone, and nature's painting palette. Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park, in the Midway Geyser Basin (The third largest hot spring on Earth), where brilliant rainbow colors result from colourful microbial mats that cover much of each shoreline 18–37m (60–122 ft) above ground level within their respective growth temperature ranges. Add in all of those electric blues, greens, yellows and oranges sizzling away against the steam billowing up from between this hot spring's surface. The ecosystem is protected by a boardwalk so guests can get up close and personal safely with this natural wonder.

Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake—the largest high-elevation lake in North America—is maybe the prettiest portion of a very pretty park. The crystal clear waters perfectly mirror the surrounding mountains and forests making it an ideal destination for lake boating, fishing or hiking. There are many trails that you can experience around the lakeshore including West Thumb Geyser Basin. Here, visitors have an opportunity to see geothermal activity right next to the water's edge it is beautiful place in person! The native Yellowstone cutthroat trout is one of the most coveted species in this area and water levels range from 20–120 feet, providing great opportunity on a variety of fishing opportunities.

Lamar Valley

Often referred to as the 'Serengeti of North America,' Lamar Valley is a wildlife lover's paradise. This huge valley is home to bison, elk and pronghorns as far the eye can see of wolves grizzly bears. The open fields are said to be one of the best places at that hour when animals, wild and farmed alike – become most active just after dawn or before dusk.

Mammoth Hot Springs

Mammoth Hot Springs is an odd mix of hot spring deposits rich in calcium carbonate, creating unique terraces. Like a waterfall in stone, the terraces vary with natural colors. A succession of boardwalks that can be strolled on visitors to explore the terraces, affords differing perspectives of this really mysterious geology.

Hayden Valley

One of the best places for wildlife watching and stunning views, as bison feed along the meandering banks of the Yellowstone River in Hayden Valley. The grazing bison can be oftentimes seen in the green meadows or wandering across it. The valley is also popular with bird-watchers, as many birds head to the wide grasslands and wetlands it offers.

Last note, Yellowstone National Park is a generously beautiful place with fun for all the folks. Those sacred spots can range from steaming geysers like Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic Spring, to the endless stretches of Yellowstone Lake or Hayden Valley.
