| Yellowstone Travel Guide for backpackers |
| One of nature’s most incredible pieces of work, Yellowstone National Park has been striking awe and wonder into the hearts of people for eons. Even today when we have supposedly been to the moon and back, we still stand gobsmacked before the bubbling pools of boiling, blistering mud and towering geysers spewing out steam and water hundreds of feet into the air. As if that wasn’t enough, the park is filled with animals’ great and small, and has a magnificent natural scenic beauty. |

 DAILY BUDGET in YELLOWSTONE - If you are prepared to rough it a bit and do without luxury accommodation and dining, then US$50 a day should cover the cost of your living expenses. For US$100 a day life will be a bit more comfortable with a motel room and some restaurant meals, and a few entrance fees. |
Midway Geyser Basin – In this extension of the Lower Geyser Basin there are the brilliantly coloured pools that have brought geologists, and other men of science and learning, and quite a few backpackers and all to check their natural wonder.
Old Faithful Inn – Built in 1903 this rustic old inn looks just as it did a hundred years ago, apart from than two flat-roof wings that were added to the main building a few years later.
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone – this magnificent 24 mile long canyon was gouged out of the earth by the rushing waters of the river.
