14. Stop for a superb sunset

Yellowstone has several exceptional lookout points on the way back from your trip to Lamar Valley to see a sunset. Sit and watch as the very sky turns stunning shades of gold, yellow, orange and purple as the sun slowly sets.

15. Scan the sky for stars

There is little light pollution here in Yellowstone National Park. That’s why it is so easy to see the stars in the sky here. If you happen to be staying in one of the local lodges, you need only drive between five and ten minutes out of the parking lots there in order to get a great view.

While you may want to see all the waterfalls and geysers as a way of getting the most out of your vacation, don’t forget it’s a vacation. Find time to relax too!
