Travel Guide to Yellowstone National Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving to Yellowstone National Park, get onto US-20 E from your location. Follow US-20 E for about 30 kilometers until you reach the entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Make sure to check for any road closures or park alerts on the official park website before your journey. There is an entrance fee of $35 per vehicle, valid for 7 days.

• Public Transportation - Bus

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a bus from nearby towns like Jackson or Cody. Check with local transit services for schedules. For instance, the START Bus operates routes from Jackson to the Gros Ventre area, which is near the southern entrance of Yellowstone. Upon arrival, you may need to take a taxi or shuttle service to reach the park entrance. The bus fare varies but expect to pay around $20-$30 for a one-way trip.

• Shuttle Services

  Consider booking a shuttle service if you are coming from larger cities like Bozeman or Cody. Companies like Xanterra offer shuttle bus services directly into Yellowstone. Prices can range from $50 to $100 per person, depending on the pickup location and the type of service.

• Bicycle

  For the adventurous, cycling to Yellowstone can also be an option if you're within a reasonable distance. Make sure to follow local bike paths and roads leading to the entrance. Be prepared for some elevation changes and ensure that you have the necessary gear, including water and food. Keep in mind that cycling within the park has its own set of rules and safety guidelines.
