6. See the great Gibbon Falls and River
Yellowstone National Park is home to a number of different waterfalls. Some travel bloggers favor both Tower Falls and Gibbon Falls. Ensconced on the Gibbon River, the great Gibbons falls drop about 84 feet in a slow descent. Located between Madison Junction and the Norris Geyser Basin, Gibbon Falls has a designated parking lot. It is close to the top of the falls and provides visitors with an impressive view of both the river and the falls.
7. Enjoy the Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace
Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace features travertine terraces resulting from centuries of very hot water bubbling up out of a faultline in the earth, slowly cooling and depositing calcium carbonate. There are a pair of terrace boardwalks you can use the Lower and the Upper. There are also almost 50 hot springs in the area too.
Hike from the Lower Terrace. If you wish to use the upper boardwalk you can reach it via the one-way Upper Terrace Drive and adjoining parking lot. The boardwalks are 1.5 miles long and let you see some truly picturesque portions of the park.
