Information for planning a Yellowstone vacation


Yellowstone National Park covers nearly 3,500 square miles in the northwest corner of Wyoming (3% of the park is in Montana and 1% is in Idaho). Yellowstone has five entrance stations, and several are closed to regular vehicles during winter.


Before you visit the gorgeous place, be sure to download the official Yellowstone National Park maps to find restaurants, hotels or activities along the route of your choosing in the park. These free maps (from https://www.yellowstonepark.com/park/national-park-maps), show park roads, attractions and more. It is very handy to have these maps when you plan a Yellowstone vacation.

Start here with a map showing the locations of 25 areas of Yellowstone including visitor information centers, camping, lodging, dining, and geysers.
