in America's first national park, Yellowstone is the seal that exceeds his most famous character, Old Faithful. However, that symbolizes the timeless Geyser Yellowstone National Park, which certainly like the Eiffel Tower symbolizes Paris. With so much to see and do in Yellowstone National Park, I offer these tips to enjoy this gem of nature, based on my recent trip there.
1 Make sure your car has the power to negotiate the narrow, high-altitude road in and Yellowstone. You do not want to postpone the tour schedule because you can not speed up around the lumbering 30-foot long motor home.
2 At the same time, bring a lot of patience with you. You'll need it over the motor home and be sure to take the time to see what is there to be seen.
3 Determine in advance how much you pay for admission. National Park System offers several options, from the car and per person charge, seven days passes that are valid for all National Park for a week of purchase. If you're over 65, go for the Annual Pass for the elderly. At $ 10 a year, it will recognize your car and everyone in that each national park. It gets my vote for favorable years.
4 You can buy any pass ahead of time or at the entrance to any national park, Yellowstone, along with proper identification.
5 Do not exceed speed limits. Of course, we all have to drive nine fifty-five miles per hour over the posted speed limit at home. local sheriff can not stop because there is more traffic, and he or she is to catch the flagrant violators. In Yellowstone, however, the Park Rangers have been very diligent about speed limits and have little slack for people who exceed them. Here's why. wildlife
6 Respect wildlife. It starts with realizing that they can dart into the roadway without warning at any time. Your vehicle's front end is no match for the compact 600 pounds of meat on the hoof.
7 Respect wildlife - part two. Park Rangers work very hard to keep the animals separated from human visitors. animals may appear sober and friendly. But they are wild. They can turn and charge at any time, spooked you, something that someone else in the crowd or not simply because they are "wild ".
8 Segregation of duties between the driver and wildlife watchers. person behind the wheel should concentrate on the road, no matter how tempting it is to scan the animals. Leave a buffalo-spot for travelers. Will have more places to watch them live,
9 Take park tours. Every home in the park offers activities desk where you can sign up for trips and other activities. Do it early. We often introductory tours where you travel. tour driver knows where the action is, knows how to get there and watching you leave. You'll also get a narrative that enriches their experience. You can always go back to the highlights on your own later.
10 If at all possible, stay overnight in the park. This may require early reservations than they otherwise would. But it is worth it. There is a fine lodging outside the park, but it comes with responsibility to drive out of it every time you venture into the park. We also found that the rate of night in the park were very competitive with what is charged out. Unless you book well in advance, park accommodation companies usually have no cancellation fee if you notify them well in advance. Check each object request for cancellation. In the meantime, you can check other options to change if it is affordable.
11 Especially for hikers:
a study course before you start on it.
b. Have someone at base camp, instantly know where to go.
c. Leave a message on the trail head of his name and his time of departure. You can manually write and put it in a sealed sandwich bag to withstand the elements.
d. Wear comfortable speed: good shoes, not flip flops. (turned ankle are not good for hiking), dress in layers, including water repellent covers (during rapid changes and if soaked at lower temperatures than they are trained for, hypothermia can set in very quickly.)
e. Take plenty of water (it's good to have extra in case you get lost or hurt.
f. Use a stick to steady himself on the tricky slopes.
g. If you encounter a bear, do not approach and do not run, slowly fold. If a mother with cubs near you, you do not want to engage in social activities or to scare her. If you run, you may encourage the bear predatory instincts come after you. The first rule is to stay alert. If a bear attacks, experts say that survival goes to the ground in a ball, leaving as little you are exposed to as much as possible. Bears will probably lose interest and go away. bear encounter is much more fun to brag about when it unscathed, and in one piece.
12 If you see cars parked along the road, slow down. You May even want to pull up before continuing. It not only is the safest way to proceed, there is a better than average chance that the cars are there because someone spotted wild animals of interest.
13 Follow signs to the geyser and hot spring sites. Stay on the walkways. boiling water. Unless you will hold your hand or foot in a boiling pot on your stove, do not do it here. Actually, do not do it here anyway. It sets a bad example for children May be watching you.
14 Enjoy the splendor of this unique place. If you see nothing but beautiful forests, fascinating hot springs, verdant valleys, alpine lakes and canyons, and will take home experience unlike anything you would at home.
