Diversity is everywhere in YNP

Did you know the fossil record of Yellowstone is one of the most diverse in the National Park Service? It also spans more than 540 million years from the Cambrian to the Cenozoic eras!

Some of the best-known fossils in Yellowstone are the fossil forests of Specimen Ridge, where the remains of hundreds of 50-million-year-old trees stand exposed on a steep hillside, with trunks up to 8 feet in diameter and some more than 20 feet tall.

If you find a fossil while on a hike, remember to leave it as you found it! Collecting natural resources such as rocks, fossils, and antlers is illegal in the park.

It is always enlightening to take a day trip to the Tetons!

Friday feeling: wide open skies, arrowleaf balsamroot in bloom, and the Tetons standing tall.

As summer nears, Grand Teton National Park bursts into color. It's a good reminder to pause, breathe deep, and take in the beauty all around us.

Early bird gets the worm... or bug! 🪰

Summer is the busiest time of year in Yellowstone. Wanna beat the crowds? Rise early or stay late!

An added bonus: animals tend to be more active earlier in the morning and later in the day in order to beat the summer heat.

What other tips do you have for a trip to Yellowstone?

Starting tomorrow, April 5, spring biking will open on the 49-mile stretch between the West Entrance and the North Entrance! 🚴‍♀️

Although this road corridor remains closed to public vehicles, it won’t be completely free of traffic. Cyclists will still encounter administrative traffic and construction vehicles, including heavy equipment and plows. All cyclists must ride single file on the right shoulder of the road and follow the same traffic laws as automobiles.

For more information on biking in the park, visit go.nps.gov/YellBiking
