Most of the geysers in Yellowstone Park can be found here.
Reviewed By I5101IEjayd - Bloomsburg, United States
We were lucky enough to have the timing fall for us to see three eruptions during our walk on the trail, plus the morning Glory pool at the end is a mini grand prismatic that you can get within feet of, if you are lucky enough to time this trail, it will be one of the best trails you are on, but if the timing doesn't line up, 90% of the geysers on the path are nothing special to see.

A spectacular waterfall located in Canyon Country.

We crossed Chittenden bridge across the Yellowstone river; stopping first at Uncle Toms to view the smaller upper Falls, then on to Artist Point to view the MAGNIFICENT lower falls and the unbelievable colors of the canyon. It is IMPOSSIBLE to describe the majesty of this waterfall and canyon colors, so we will not even try,

The drive between Bozeman and West Yellowstone along The Gallatin River is a great way to see the beautiful scenery and wildlife outside of Yellowstone NP. It’s about a 90 mile drive one way. We saw elk and moose along the way.

#1 Rule: Don't forget your camera, make sure your batteries are charged and that you have plenty of SD cards for your digital camera. What is here: The dramatic, 1,000-foot-deep Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone rewards visitors with dazzling views of multi-hued rock walls and majestic waterfalls. With walking and hiking trails for all abilities, and learning opportunities for the whole family, it’s easy to spend an entire day in this unique area of the park. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is roughly 20 miles long and varies from 1,500 to 4,000 feet wide. Geologists believe it was formed as the Yellowstone River eroded softer, less resistant rock that had been weakened by hydrothermal gases and hot water. The colorful canyon is a natural work of art: streaks of red, orange, gold, black, and even green decorate the canyon walls. Several miles of trails connect 10 primary overlooks that afford dramatic views from both sides of the canyon. When we went there had been snowfall and it made the most beautiful pictures since it was combined with all of the colors of the canyon. Whether it’s your first visit to Yellowstone, or you visit regularly, everyone loves a summer day in the park. Here’s how to get the most out of yours. The best way to experience all the different facets of the canyon’s charm is to pick a trail and go for a hike. There are many trails along both canyon rims, from short jaunts to all-day treks. Here are a few of our favorites: Brink of the Lower Falls Trail (moderate): Descend 600 feet on a steep trail to get an up-close and personal view of the Lower Falls in all its thundering power. 0.7 miles, round-trip Seven Mile Hole Trail (strenuous): You’ll want to commit a whole day to this trail – the only one that leads to the canyon bottom.10.2 miles, round-trip Point Sublime Trail (easy): After visiting the Artist Point overlook, follow the South Rim Trail beyond Artist Point to this less-traveled path, which meanders along the canyon rim to the aptly named Point Sublime. 1.3 miles from Artist Point to Point Sublime View the Canyon and Falls While some views of the canyon and falls are only accessible by trail, you can still get to the following overlooks by car and a short walk from the parking lots on paved, accessible walkways. From North Rim Drive: View the Lower Falls from Lookout Point, Red Rock Point, Grand View, and Inspiration Point. Both waterfalls are visible from Brink of the Lower Falls. From South Rim Drive: See the Upper Falls from two viewpoints at Uncle Tom’s Point. View the Lower Falls at Artist Point. Several of the canyon overlooks and trails, which were originally built in the 1930s, are being rehabilitated with support from Yellowstone Forever. Over the years, they have been hammered by unforgiving weather, compromised by soil erosion, and damaged by increased visitation. In recent years, these conditions have prompted some temporary or long-term closures.

Lone Peak on Lone Mountain has an elevation of 11,166ft. With 300 degrees of in-bounds skiing & 360 degree views, it's a do not miss!
Reviewed By marcodL8041FK - Big Sky, United States
You get tt he top of Lone Peak at Big Sky Montana by taking a chairlift to the tram.. It is extreme in many ways. This is for real Experts, not Expert wanna bes, or for fool hardy people. One side goes to Liberty Bowl, one part leads to the Big Coulier, which is about an ungroomed 50% pitch for about 1,000 feet vertical. One part of the Peak goes to the Madison Base. You do NOT want to fall on sny side of the mountain. You could travel a long way befpre you finally stopped and who knows where your equipment is if you fall and cannot self arrest. SKi or board down at your own risk, and please, be very careful.

This was an easy hike through beautiful mountain scenery. The snow made for a gorgeous backdrop for our walk to the falls. The frozen falls are just beautiful! There is ample parking and the path is cleared even in winter. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful walk/hike while in Big Sky!

Yellowstone National Park should be in anyone’s bucket list who loves the bond between nature & wildlife.Dramatic landscape,Alpine Forest, Gushing Geyser,Fuming Hot Spring, Volcanic Caldera, Bubbling Basin,Colourful pool,Scenic Lake,Hiking trail what all what not. This topography is the perfect choice for photography & a traveler's stop.The whole area is atop of a volcano & the vesicles give a rough & porous texture on the earth’s outer crust.It exactly looks like a painful blister on earth’s skin. I was taken aback to see snow fudge & thermal spring dwelling together without losing their own identity.It’s magic, bounty of nature.Get out of the car & explore this beautiful piece of the planet by walk. Time plays a major role, if someone wants to enjoy the hot spring flow.It's once in a lifetime experience & want to go back again after some years.

Big Sky Resort is closed for the winter season. We hope to see you summer 2020. This is Big Sky Resort, where 400 inches of powder fall on 5,800+ skiable acres and 4,350 vertical feet. Introducing two brand new Doppelmayr chair lifts as part of Big Sky 2025, our ten-year, $150-million investment at Big Sky. It’s the Biggest Skiing in America. But it’s not just getting bigger; it’s getting better. Vast diversity provides a big experience for every level. The only things that aren’t big are the lift lines, ensuring you get all the vertical you can handle. Unwind after a powder-filled day in luxurious slopeside accommodations so you can live big again tomorrow.

Really enjoyed the ski area...lots of different terrain and many untouched areas in powder days. Not as empty as we were led to believe but plenty of space!
