12. Go hike Mount Washburn
You’ll find Tower Falls in the northeastern section of Yellowstone close to Tower Junction. The falls are in the center of some hoodoos roughly two miles south of Tower-Roosevelt Junction. The best viewpoint is about 100 yards from the parking lot.
After this stop, take a drive to the Dunraven Pass. Park your car at the Dunraven Pass Trailhead. Next, hike the 3.1-mile trail (each way) to the 10,243-foot summit at Mount Washburn.
13. Enjoy a western cookout

If you happen to be staying somewhere near Roosevelt, you can ride a horse or take a 30 to 45-minute covered wagon and have a real western dinner cookout. You’ll travel through sagebrush flats as you follow the same road used for the scheduled stagecoach rides.
The canvas-covered wagons you take to the cookout site all have padded bench seats. They are drawn by a pair of horses. The staff can even accommodate vegetarians and vegan but, come on, you’re supposed to be in the old west! (Still, if you insist be sure to give them advance notice.)
