10. Experience the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone from Artist Point

The famous Grand Canyon of Yellowstone Park is the result of many years of erosion and other such natural forces. It’s less than a 15-minute drive out of Canyon Village. It’s also one of the area’s favorite places for hiking.

This canyon is almost one mile wide and nearly 20 miles in length. Head to Artist Point located on the South Rim and Inspiration Point on the North Rim for incomparable views of the canyon’s oxidized and terracotta cliff walls. See the country’s longest undammed river running between the verdant v-shaped valley. Watch it as it meanders over 600 miles through the states of Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming.

 

11. Spot wildlife in lovely Lamar Valley

Those who have been, sometimes refer to Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley as “America’s Serengeti” because of all the animals you can see there. Bison are so common here they often cause traffic jams. Bring binoculars and look for bears, foxes, rabbits, and wolves too. After your safari be sure to stop in at the restful Roosevelt lodge and relax a bit.
