Our favorite time of the year! The crowds are gone, the mornings crisp and daytime temps are often in the high 60's and 70's. There is plenty to see and do. The seasonality of the towns surrounding Yellowstone mean some business's might be closed for the season but in general everything you need will be available through October. Lodging is plentiful in all the local towns so no need to stress about a place to sleep.
West Yellowstone or
Big Sky are our favorite towns to base a visit to Yellowstone.
Besides Yellowstone, activities that are still available in September and into October include hiking, zipline trips, fishing and great hiking. The Grizzly Discovery Center in West Yellowstone is an informative stop for those interested in the local bear and wolf scene. On weekends, the
Zipline Adventure Park in West Yellowstone is open through September for those with an adventurous spirit. www.yellowstoneparkzipline.com
Our favorite easy walks around Yellowstone this time of year include the boardwalk around Old Faithful,
Lone Star Geyser, the trip to see Grand Prismatic Spring and
Harlequin Lake just inside the Park from West Yellowstone. For more adventurous hikes check out the book "Best Day Hikes in Yellowstone" readily available at many stores in the area.
If you have ever wanted to go fishing, this is the time to do it. Many consider this the best time of the year. Guided trips on the Madison are our favorite and can easily be booked in West Yellowstone or Big Sky. Contact Gallatin Riverguides or
Grizzly Outfitters in Big Sky and
Arrick's in West Yellowstone.
Unfortunately, this fall, if you are staying in Jackson, Wyoming, getting to Old Faithful will be problematic because of
road construction. http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/roadclosures.htm .
