Registration: All Yellowstone walks are remote registration only. See our remote registration page for details. We recommend you check the national park service page before your trip to make sure the trails you plan to do (and the road to them) are open. See link below.
Elevation: Several of these hikes have an elevation of 5000 to 8000 feet above sea level. It is recommended that you first acclimatize to the altitude before attempting a strenuous hike. If planning to do all 3 hikes, this hike has a lower elevation and is an easier hike, making it a good “acclimation” walk.
Miscellaneous: Yellowstone National Park has an entrance fee. Golden Age or Golden Eagle passes can be used. Summer temperatures in Wyoming may be 90 degrees F or more. Carry water on the trail plus sunscreen and a hat! Check with visitor center for trail conditions before heading out. Do not attempt these trails if snow or heavy rain are in the forecast. Not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Pets may accompany you in the front country areas of the park. This includes any areas within 100 feet of roads, parking areas, and campgrounds. Pets must be kept under physical control at all times - caged, crated, or on a leash not to exceed six feet in length. See more information regarding pets here: http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/pets.htm
