Discover The Trails In The Yellowstone Park

By: Georgina Burelson

One of the most beautiful and scenic national parks in the United States is Yellowstone which has acreage in three different states; Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. It totals 2.2 million acres of land and many species of birds and other wildlife are among its inhabitants. This prime wilderness area has over 1,100 miles of hiking trails to tempt those who love hiking.

The park rangers remind hikers that while many of the trails are easily assessable and groomed, dangers from wildlife, quick changing weather, and loose rocks always pose a risk. Therefore, it is important this “wilderness” area be respected and the guidelines followed. Typically, by being aware of your surroundings and the current conditions, along with following the regulations of the park, you will be prepared for any situation that might arise.

If you plan to go on one of the marvelous day hikes so popular in Yellowstone, you will have a myriad of trail choices, not to mention an excellent day. Be sure to check in with the rangers for a map and any other available information. They will talk to you about bears, storms that can occur in an instant, and fires. They will remind you to pack your first aid kit, sunscreen, raincoat, and bug spray.

For Yellowstone Park, you do not need a permit for hiking although some parks do have this requirement. As you meander among the trails, you will find yourself going into remote sections of the park. Some of the trails are smooth and easy, offering gentle terrain. However, you will also come across trails that require hiking skill and endurance. Therefore, always check the trail conditions before starting out and choose trails that match your hiking ability.

Above all, don’t forget your camera. You’ll want lots of pictures of this scenic wilderness. The park is truly magnificent and you’ll find yourself in beautiful valleys, expanses of wildflowers, and atop small passes. You will undoubtedly see some signs of wildlife and your pictures will remind you of this enchanting experience for the rest of your life.
