The world's most famous geyser erupts every 90 minutes or so.

The surrounding Geyser basin offers dozens of other spectacular powders, some that erupt dramatically just once a day, others that thrash continually in a violent rage.

Whether soloing in a kayak or bundling the family into a canoe, paddling is a great way to glide into nature at your own pace when your arms tire shore up on empty beaches for a picnic or swim the sublime canyon colors and dramatic 308 ft drop of the lower falls or the big draws of Yellowstone's very own Grand Canyon.

Take the rims, hiking trails to appreciate the views away from the car and the crowds buck the trend and look down on the Tetons on a guided ascent, the birthplace of american mountaineering, the chiseled and weathered.
