There’s a lot to do in Yellowstone, but here are three things you should definitely not do.
Every year, a handful of tourists in Yellowstone pull a series of stunts that endanger their lives and that of wildlife. Sometimes, their actions can lead to the death of animals. Find out what happened when tourists broke the rules and learn three things not to do when you are in the park.
1. Don’t Stray Off the Boardwalks
2. Don’t Stand Near or Try to Touch Wildlife
3. Don’t Jump in Hot Springs
The best tourist season for the park is from June to September. The majority of Yellowstone Park is located above an altitude of 1800 meters (without altitude sickness), and the climate is unstable. It can rain or snow in any month of the year, so visitors should bring rain gear and warm clothing regardless of when they come.
June/July/August: The daytime temperature is around 25°C, and it cools down at night, with some high-altitude areas dropping below 0°C. Most roads and facilities are open. Weather forecast: check here.
May and September/October: The daytime temperature ranges from 0°C to 20°C, and the night temperature ranges from -5°C to -20°C. Snow is common, and some roads may be temporarily closed while some facilities are still open.
Winter (November to April): The daytime temperature ranges from -20°C to -5°C, and the night temperature is below 0°C. The historical lowest temperature record is -54°C. Only the north gate of the park is open.
