It’s just you and a world of opportunities.
In the early days of autumn, the flocks of summer tourists have packed up left, leaving you with the undisturbed quietness of the Grand Canyon, the trickling sounds of the Upper and Lower Falls and the wind rustling through the leaves of golden aspen groves. Paints a pretty picture doesn’t it?

Beauty knows no rest.
Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, over 300 geysers, hot springs, rock caves and rushing waterfalls will still be around when the temperature drops. When you start layering up, Yellowstone sheds its summer coat and radiates in hues of reds, yellows and oranges.

Wildlife ‘round the clock.
Rain or shine, Yellowstone will always be in touch with its wild side. Mid- to late September sees an increase in wildlife activity, where you’ll see various mammals begin to sport trendy winter coats and bears get a little rounder as they get ready for hibernation.

Photo ops galore!
With the added flurry of wildlife action, the golden hues of aspen groves and the characteristic natural beauty of the park, you can understand how Yellowstone National Park becomes a photographic paradise when the fall season announces its arrival. Disposable or digital, Yellowstone is ready to pose for all types of cameras.

When we stop tripping over thoughts of days spent raking leaves or shovelling snow is when we truly appreciate the beauty of autumn. There are plenty more perks to visiting Yellowstone National Park during the changing of the season. Take the time to discover them. Remember, the only difference is a few extra layers of clothing!

For many, fall is their favorite season. The hunters anxiously await the cooldown as they prepare to “bag the big one”. The landscape is everchanging as the leaves signal the season with bursts of gold, red and orange, the geese head for warmer locations and the Big Horn Sheep return to lower ground to entertain onlookers.

Although you can’t watch a rodeo or take a raft trip this time of year there are still lots of things to do. Take a drive on one or all of the three scenic drives in the area that each offer wildlife watching, beautiful fall follage and breathtaking vistas. Visit the five museums of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, shop the local merchants for unique western furnishings and art, enjoy wonderful restaurants, visit a spa or see a movie. The lodging is very affordable and we still have our western hospitality hats on! Come see us!
