Just curious if anyone knows the Yellowstone area well? Will be goin up there and then northern Montana this summer for a while. Want to now the best places to see and such.

Thanks!

western and northern sides are the better, more to see.

Thanks Az, but what specifics??? I'll be there in Yellowstone prolly 6 or more weeks, then northern Montana about 4 weeks. So would like to know specific routes or special places with the best views, hiking trails, etc if possible.

depending on how your coming in, there's 4 main entrences that all come together right about the center at a huge lake. the western side has the vast majority of the hot springs and gysers, the north end has all the falls and most of the wildlife. the south end has another lake and the grand tetons, the east really doesn't have anything but a long road out....


there's hiking trails all over the place but i'd say the best is in the tetons. what we did when we went was got a map with all the routes on it and went one direction for a couple days and we never ran out of things to see or do. the falls up north were probably the best views as well as a few spots down the south road. the western is a lot of grass lands and rivers with great scenery.

there's really so much there you can't really pic the best, i'd just set a course to follow and just see the things as you pass them. you got plenty of time to see a huge piece of it.

Thanks Az! Thats gives me some great ideas now! Will be coming in from the western side, then prolly hit south for the first week or two, then up north. Love waterfalls and can get some great pics and video and can head to Northern Montana from there.

Any ideas going up to northern Montana? Will be going up to Browning, which is on east side of Glacier from what I understand..its up toward the Canadian border a bit.

Thanks again for the info and direction!
