When to Visit Yellowstone
The best times to visit Yellowstone are from March to May and from September to November.These seasons feature both mild weather and fewer crowds.Summer is the most popular time to visit: the kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside.However,this park is no stranger to the cold.Temperatures have been known to drop into the 30s even in summer,and during the winter,they range anywhere from negative 3 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.Don't let that stop you.There's nothing quite like seeing plumes(飘升之物) of steam rise from beneath a thick blanket of snow. Yellowstone Dining
There are several restaurants,cafeterias and snack shops within the borders of Yellowstone National Park.Consider bringing along a cooler with lunch items and snacks-so you don't have to worry about staying near one of the park's more developed areas.Yellowstone is also home to several sitdown restaurants located in the most visited areas.Cafeterias serve burgers and sandwiches while upscale restaurants like the Lake Yellowstone Hotel Dining Room provide selections of game meats.Although the fare is far from fine, reservations are necessary during the busy summers. Getting around Yellowstone
The best way to get around Yellowstone is by car,especially as there is no public transportation system.You can rent a car at any of the nearby airports.Each of Yellowstone's five regions has an area to park,allowing you to leave the car behind and explore on foot.Guided tours are also available.
