Answer 1

I was there with my three teen age grandsons and our dog a couple of years ago. The favorite place was the long walking trail in the Old Faithful area. There is a short version, and a long version that goes all the way to castle geyser, and comes back past castle geyser.

We were not allowed to take the dog on the trail. I had to stay behind and dog sit. I used the time to go to the camp laundry and wash all our clothes.

Before we went, we purchased the video. There is a complete planner online at:

Answer 2

I have to say that the trails at Old Faithful are very nice. Lots of different gysers. The Canyon has a great trail/staircase that brings you right down into the canyon near the water. That is awesome to do. Visit NPS.GOV and you can get loads of info.
Don't bring your pet to hike. I am not sure it is allowed, but I know from experience that there is so much wild life, that it just wouldn't be safe. We ran into 3 different bears on 3 different hikes.

Answer 3

My favorite attraction is all the wildlife. (Moose, buffalo, bear, deer, elk). Since the fires burned so much of the vegetation, and it's still not grown back too much, you can really see them much easier. We entered Yellowstone at the southern entrance, where the fires did not do damage, and at the river accesses, you can get some nice walks. We actually saw a wolf within feet of our car.

Answer 4

The geysers but foremost it is the statue of Crazy Horse under construction. When finished it will dwarf the 4 Presidents in size and originality.
