Sightseeing isn't the only thing to do in the Yellowstone Region; but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place. Even people who come to the area to do things like fishing or hiking will spend a portion of their time seeing (or re-seeing) the sights. So, the question "What's to see?" has got to be very important for making plans. Besides, the Greater Yellowstone Region is one of the most beautiful and scenic in the United States; sightseeing goes with the territory.

For those worried about a slow season ahead in Yellowstone National Park, the May numbers should alleviate some concerns, as the National Park Service announces visitor numbers for May 2009 were up sharply over a year ago.

Whether you're coming to Yellowstone National Park for the first or umpteenth time, there's information it's good to know before you arrive. This section of Yellowstone Insider covers a wide range of useful information for the visitor -- not the stuff about bears and geysers -- but the nitty-gritty information like how much it costs to enter the park, where the doctors are located, and where a letter can be mailed.
