Yellowstone National Park Tour Guide

1. Pay attention to "give way" to wild animals. Unless otherwise posted with a speed reduction sign, speed must be maintained to protect animals. The maximum speed in Yellowstone is 45MPH (45 miles per hour, or 70 kilometers per hour), in case an animal suddenly appears on the road and you have no time to brake.

2. Please pay attention to the parking zone. If you see wildlife or scenery while driving you must pull over. There are many "turn out" spots on the road in Yellowstone, which are places protruding from the roadside where you can park. Never park directly on the road to watch animals, as this may block traffic.

3. Use roads. Cyclists should ride in single file in Yellowstone Park. Drivers should keep their vehicles more than 1.0 meters (3 feet) away from cyclists and pedestrians, especially vehicles with large split side mirrors.

4. Keep your distance. Don't get too close to wild animals. Carnivores must be at least 91 meters away, and herbivores must be at least 23 meters away. Regardless of the distance, if any park wildlife changes its behavior due to your presence, you are too close.

If you want to light a bonfire, you are only allowed to light it in the designated place in the camp (that is, the special campfire stand in the camp).

5. Please do not feed any wild animals in Yellowstone Park, including birds. The food consumed by humans is unhealthy and can trigger competing behaviors that may require control measures. All food, trash, coolers and cooking tools must be safely stored in bear-proof containers unless used immediately. No feeding of wild animals is allowed. Chinese people must pay special attention to this! Because once wild animals "fall in love" with human food, they can easily change their lifestyles, with disastrous consequences.

6. Walk on the designated path. That means don’t climb wild mountains. Stay on designated park trails and boardwalks. The ground in the Yellowstone geothermal area is brittle and thin, with scalding water directly underneath. Tourists who came to Yellowstone fell and were buried here. Please keep your children with you.

7. Don’t swim wildly. The rivers and lakes in Huangshi are all natural, so don’t get into the water easily. You also need a license for boating and fishing. Swimming in many areas of Yellowstone is unsafe and prohibited. The park's waters may appear colder and more rapid. All boats and buoy tubes require a permit.

8. While you are enjoying the fun along the way, please be aware of bears. Hiking in groups in Yellowstone is safer for you. In areas with limited visibility, listen carefully to your surroundings. If you suddenly encounter a bear in the wild, do not run. Bring bear spray and learn how to use it safely.

9. Take good care of your pets. Pets are not allowed in the park's backcountry or on the trails or boardwalks of the geothermal basin. Even where allowed, pets must be watched and kept within 30.5 meters (100 feet) of roads or parking lots. Do not leave your pet unattended or tied to an object. Pet owners must be responsible for collecting and disposing of their pet's waste.

10. Cell phone service may be provided in the Grant, Canyon, Mammoth Hot Springs and Old Faithful areas of Yellowstone Park. Internet Wi-Fi is not available at visitor centers, country inns, national monuments or historic lodgings. Licensed locations may provide Wi-Fi service for a fee. Because the terrain of the park is so rich, it is almost impossible to list the types of tourist activities, from camping in the mountains and forests, to fishing, rafting, and wildlife observation (such as American bison, elk deer, red deer, etc.), which are often near the visitor center. appeared), many visitors can enjoy a memorable visit experience in Yellowstone National Park.

The park’s mountainous roads are more than 500 kilometers long, connecting the main attractions in each scenic area. There are more than 1,500 kilometers of hiking trails, including Yellowstone Lake, Shoshone Lake, Snake River and Yellowstone River. The park is surrounded by the Custer, Shoshone, Teton, Tay, Beaverhead and Gallatin national forests. The primitive landscape of Yellowstone Park, tempered by water and fire, is called "the most wonderful and spectacular scenery on the face of the earth" and is described as "beyond the limits of human art."

The Yellowstone National Park Service has many warnings for tourists, one of which is not to approach dangerous animals (when an animal notices you, it means you are too close), and do not stay in dangerous areas. In the area, the temperature of many geothermal landforms has reached the boiling point, and the gas may be toxic. In 2004, five American bison were found dead in the park due to inhalation of toxic geothermal gas.

There are 11 small towns near the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park that provide accommodation. There are also small hotels, cabins and campsites in the park. The most popular one is the Old Faithful Inn, which has quite a few. The best view is that you can enjoy the Old Faithful Fountain from the room. As for the campsites, there are 11 campsites and there is only one campground for family travel trailers.
