The safest way to view wildlife is through a telephoto lens, a spotting scope, or a pair of binoculars. Park animals are wild and dangerous. 🐺🐻 Do not approach, encircle, follow, or feed any animal. Learn more: go.nps.gov/YELLtop10winter

If you want to drive in the park this winter, you’ll need to come to the North Entrance in Gardiner, Montana—it’s the only road open to regular vehicles. 🚗 From there, you can drive to places like Mammoth Hot Springs and Lamar Valley. Learn more: go.nps.gov/YELLtop10winter.
