YELLOWSTONE MAP

MAP OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Pictured above is what I think is one of the better maps of Yellowstone National Park. You will notice from this map that the roads inside the park are in somewhat of a figure 8 shape.

I like this map because it gives you the distances from point to point inside the park. Please do not deceive yourself when you are trying to figure out how long it will take you to see Yellowstone. Bear in mind that the speed limit inside the park is 45 mph unless posted otherwise.

What you also need to take into consideration is the fact that there is a possibility you might get caught up in a buffalo jam, an elk jam, a bear jam or even a frog jam.

You also need to bear in mind when it comes to these animal jams that they are the residents of this park and we are the visitors.

This map also shows the location of things like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the different geyser basins, mud volcano, as well as listing the locations of the visitor centers.

My suggestion always is when people asked me how long will take them to see the park, you need one day to do the upper loop, one day to do the lower loop, one day to go back in and see what you missed the other two days – and then you need at least one day to rest up.

My best advice is to allow yourself plenty of time, sit back, relax and enjoy the park.
