Yellowstone National Park is actually an active supervolcano that erupted some 640,000 years ago. The Yellowstone eruption area collapsed upon itself, creating a sunken giant crater or caldera. The magmatic heat that powered the eruption (and two others that date back around 2.1 million years) still powers the park\u2019s famous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See a short visual story of the <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/web-stories\/yellowstone-spectacular-sites-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spectacular sites in Yellowstone NP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">WHAT IS IN THIS POST<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662bd0a05b1bf\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662bd0a05b1bf\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/10best\/yellowstone-things-to-do-see\/#Yellowstone_National_Park_Map\" title=\"Yellowstone National Park Map\">Yellowstone National Park Map<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/10best\/yellowstone-things-to-do-see\/#15_Best_things_to_do_and_see_in_Yellowstone_National_Park\" title=\"15 Best things to do and see in Yellowstone National Park\">15 Best things to do and see in Yellowstone National Park<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/10best\/yellowstone-things-to-do-see\/#Our_3_Day_Yellowstone_Itinerary\" title=\"Our 3 Day Yellowstone Itinerary\">Our 3 Day Yellowstone Itinerary<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/10best\/yellowstone-things-to-do-see\/#Some_Tips_for_visiting_Yellowstone\" title=\"Some Tips for visiting Yellowstone\">Some Tips for visiting Yellowstone<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/10best\/yellowstone-things-to-do-see\/#Slow_down_and_smell_the_sagebrush\" title=\"Slow down and smell the sagebrush\">Slow down and smell the sagebrush<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/10best\/yellowstone-things-to-do-see\/#A_few_more_photos_from_Yellowstone\" title=\"A few more photos from Yellowstone\">A few more photos from Yellowstone<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yellowstone_National_Park_Map\"><\/span>Yellowstone National Park Map<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>See all the Yellowstone attractions, sights, places to see and must-dos on this map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1hQZEIp8YiYB2RcanWBwbeOpReWycJVkv\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Use This Map:<\/strong>\u00a0Use your fingers or computer mouse to zoom in on the details.

It&#8217;s rainbow waters are fascinating with a cerulean blue center and deep reds, and fiery oranges encircling the edges. These colors are caused by pigmented thermophilic bacteria that thrive on the minerals produced by the geothermic activity. <br\/><br\/>The color of the bacteria is determined by the temperature of the water \u2013\u00a0the center is too hot to support life which is then reflected when light hits the organisms. This is one of the park&#8217;s most photographed sights,  IMHO one of the best things to do in Yellowstone, so expect crowds when you visit. Fog is common until late in the morning on cooler days, so it is recommended to arrive around 10 a.m.  Park at the sign for Fairy Falls and hike up to the overlook point which should take about 30 minutes for the best views. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-attachment-id=\"15519\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/yellowstone_os1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D850&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1564762791&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;70&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Yellowstone_os1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1-1024x683.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os1-1024x683.jpg\" \/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1566978224072\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"> Drive through the Lower Geyser Basin  <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Many of the thermal features of the Lower Geyser Basin are easily accessed on the one-way 3 mile Firehole Lake Drive.

These unique travertine terraces were formed over centuries of hot water bubbling up from the ground through a fault line, cooling and depositing calcium carbonate. Mammoth Hot Springs has two terrace boardwalks, the Upper and Lower. <br\/><br\/>There are about 50 hot springs within the area. You can hike from the Lower Terrace or you can access the upper boardwalk from the one-way Upper Terrace Drive and parking lot. This is an easier hike where you walk on boardwalks for 1.5 miles taking you through some picturesque parts.  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Best things to see in Yellowstone - OutsideSuburbia.com\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-attachment-id=\"15522\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/yellowstone_os6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;11&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Vinod Ramachandran&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D850&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1564779044&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Outside Suburbia&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;38&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Yellowstone_os6\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6-1024x683.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Yellowstone_os6-1024x683.jpg\" \/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1566977342007\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"> See Bison in Hayden Valley <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">The lush green valley north of\u00a0Yellowstone Lake\u00a0is a place to spot bison, elk, coyotes and even bears.

Stop at Artists Point on the South Rim and Inspiration Point on the North Rim for the best views of the canyon&#8217;s terracotta and oxidized cliff walls.

Here is what our Yellowstone Itinerary that covers the highlights looked like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Day 1 &#8211; Lake Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Midway Geyser hike to Grand Prismatic Spring viewpoint, Drive Fire hole drive (Lower Geyser)<\/li><li>Day 2 &#8211; Hayden Valley, Horse ride, Norris Geyser, Gibbons Falls, Mammoth Terrace Hikes<\/li><li>Day 3 &#8211; Grand Canyon of Yellowstone,  Tower Falls,  Lamar Valley <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have just one day in Yellowstone or doing a day trip from Jackson Hole to Yellowstone you can still cover all the major attractions in Yellowstone but you will miss out on enjoying the outdoors at a slow pace! Just focus on one area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either visit Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring and Mammoth or visit Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and then Lamar Valley for seeing the wildlife. The hike up to the Grand Prismatic Spring is one of the Top Things to do in Yellowstone \u2013 it is like you get a view into the earth&#8217;s beating heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See this post for the <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/north-america\/united-states\/best-places-to-stay-yellowstone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BEST places to stay in Yellowstone National Park<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_Tips_for_visiting_Yellowstone\"><\/span><strong>Some Tips for visiting Yellowstone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Hot Spring are geysers are hot!
