Visitors can encounter iconic geothermal and canyon features like Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and Mammoth Hot Springs. The most memorable moments often come during quieter windows in the day—early morning or late afternoon—when golden light softens the scenery and crowds thin." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
