Yellowstone National Park Map PDF – Overview
Yellowstone National Park Map – Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq. mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It’s also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 sq mi (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest super-volcano on the continent. The caldera is considered a dormant volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years.
Well over half of the world’s geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth’s northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This map is not appropriate for hiking or planning a winter trip. Most roads are closed to wheeled vehicles November–April.

Keep your distance. Stay at least 100 yards (91 m) from bears and wolves. A distance of 25 yards (23 m) is required from
elk, bison, and other animals. Regardless of distance, if any wild animal changes its behavior due to your presence, you are too close.
Be Bear aware. You are safer hiking with groups of three or more. In areas of low visibility, make noise to avoid surprise encounters. Do not run from a bear under any circumstance. Carry bear spray and know how to use it safely.
Give wildlife a break, More than 100 large animals are killed on park roads each year. Unless posted slower, top speed here is 45 mph (72 kph). Watch from pullouts. If you see wildlife while driving, do not stop in the road. Regardless of what others may do, keep moving to the next established pullout, park, and watch from a safe distance.
Share the road, Pass no closer than three feet (1.0 m) to bicycles and roadside pedestrians, especially if your vehicle has large, detachable side mirrors.
