8. See the Bison in Hayden Valley
Hayden Valley is a verdant valley just north of Yellowstone Lake. Here you’re likely to see bears, bison, coyotes, and elk. If you visit early in the morning you might catch them bathing in the river.
Be sure to stop at Sulphur Spring (a.k.a. Crater Hill Geyser) and the Mud Geyser to witness the geothermal activities. Don’t forget Dragon’s Mouth either. It’s a popular turbulent hot spring where the hot water rhythmically sloshes in and out of the big cavern’s mouth bringing to mind the image of an annoyed dragon.
9. Saddle up and visit the backcountry

Go horseback riding through the beautiful backcountry. While driving through the Grand Loop allows you to stop and check out all the park’s attractions, you still only see roughly two percent of the park’s 2.2 million acres. A trail ride is said to be the best way for horse lovers to see the backcountry. You can get a horse from the park stables near Canyon or Roosevelt Village. If you head out from the corral in Canyon Village you’ll be able to ride through a nice open meadow and by Cascade Creek through pine forests and other wooded areas.
