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. 

This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information from the Yellowstone Insider Website is processed and used.

We want to hear from you! There are several ways to interact with the editors of Yellowstone National Park, as well as the many, many Yellowstone National Park enthusiasts.

We believe a combination of advertising on our network of websites, newsletters, and multimedia can be an effective marketing tool for your firm.

Civilization will encroach on Yellowstone a little more this summer with a limited expansion of the wireless system within the Park and the installation of WiFi networking in most, but not all the hotels within.

Last year was a rough one for the Yellowstone grizzly-bear population: in 2008 71 grizzlies were killed out of a total population of 600. That's more than one-tenth of the estimated Yellowstone National Park grizzly population.

There are many icons in Yellowstone National Park, in and of itself one of the most iconic places in the United States. Old Faithful Geyser, Castle Geyser, Morning Glory Pool, Old Faithful Inn, a herd of bison, a lone elk standing proudly on a hill as the sun rises.

Download a current Amtrak service map and you’ll see a huge hole in the middle of the West: Wyoming, one of the few states in the Union lacking rail service. That wasn’t always true.
