Interpretive walks are available throughout
Yellowstone. Refer to the schedule at the
National Park Service Visitor Center or in the
Yellowstone Today newspaper you received at the
entrance station. You’ll be glad you did!
Historic Walking Tour
Did you know that the Mammoth Hot Springs
area used to be the location for the U.S. Cavalry
when they helped manage the park? Pick up a
guide in front of the NPS Visitor Center and take
a self-guiding walking tour of Mammoth’s historic
Fort Yellowstone buildings.
Take a Hike
For the latest information on trail conditions, bear
closure areas and other important information, we
recommend checking with a National Park Service
Visitor Center before hiking in Yellowstone.
Explore the Terraces
Drive or walk from the hotel about 1/2 mile
to the boardwalks at the base of the Terraces
and follow them to the thermal features at the
top. Or drive to the top and park to explore
on foot from there. The Upper Terrace Loop
Drive is a short and scenic one-way drive from
the parking lot, and is well worth the time.
Wraith Falls
This is a short, easy, one-mile hike through
open sagebrush and fir forest to the foot of
Wraith Falls on Lupine Creek. The trail begins
at the pull-off 1/4 mile east of the Lava Creek
Picnic Area on the Mammoth - Tower road,
about 5 miles east of Mammoth Hot Springs.
