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.

Day hikes are among the favorite things to do when you visit Yellowstone. You will have your pick of hiking trails, and can easily find one that will fit your level of expertise and endurance. On your way out, visit the park rangers where you can get a map and information about the trails. They will help you choose a trail as well as reminding you to watch for bears, sudden storms, and possible fires. You should automatically take a first aid kit, sunscreen, rain gear, and bug repellant anytime you hike.

Some national parks require that you get a permit to hike, but Yellowstone does not. Before you set out on your hike, go over the trail conditions so that you won’t take one that is more than your endurance and skill level. There are trails for every ability, from easy to difficult. Many of them will take you to the outlying reaches of the park.

Most importantly, bring your camera along and take tons of pictures. This part of the country is truly breathtaking and the overall experience of hiking through valleys, fields of flowers, and over small passes while seeing all the beautiful wildlife is something you will never forget.
