We stayed here for a night while on a road trip, very new and well-maintained park to say the least. We hiked up to this trail for sunset, absolutely insane and beautiful.

I got here in hopes of photographing this place and coming out with a portfolio piece. I researched this place too much and just couldn't find creativity here, its been very overshot. Get Creative, go at night and shoot the Milky Way or something! I went at sunset...

I have never photographed something so beautiful with the most beautiful light. We went in the morning, that's the best time if you want to photograph the purple light that you often see in photos.

We made sure to have this on our list of places to check out when we did a huge loop trip around Southern Utah. Simple, yet one of my favorite places in the Southwest.

My friends and I skated down the road on our longboards! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!

A few friends and I road tripped around the Grand Loop and the Tetons for 9 Days, one of the most memorable trips of my life. This is a must for anyone if you have the time! Memories that last a lifetime!

I visited this place my second time to GTNP. I feel in love with the setting and the background. Absolutely amazing for photos. 10/10

I heard about this hike from a friend. Not many people go to the West side of the park. I think we saw a total of 6 people on the trail that day. We started at 5:00am in August. I loved this hike!

Hiking the switchbacks down was pretty easy, coming back up was more difficult as one could imagine. There were a ton of tourists though, try to later in the day or early in the morning.

We stopped in here as we were driving south, quick stop. It was a nice short hike through some new forest towards the Paint Pots. They were very colorful and interesting to look at. A one-time visit for sure.

It's pretty incredible to watch, I have been to Yellowstone twice. After the first time seeing it, it's not as exciting in my opinion. If you have never seen it, go see it.

The springs were pretty darn cool. It's pretty interesting to see what bubbles up from under the Earth. We walked around here for about an hour, after that we got kinda bored.

We did this as a day hike, started around sunrise. The hike is pretty easy, and is a very wide road-like trail. This was my favorite part of my trip to Yellowstone. The geo-features are sweet, but this hike was incredible, and not too difficult.

Super fun hike and enjoyed my time up there by all means, the summit didn't feel very much like a summit though. Pretty gradual towards the top. Still a solid day hike!

A buddy and I camped along one of the upper unnamed lakes. We woke up for sunrise to photograph the alpenglow, sadly there were not any clouds to make the photos more interesting...That being said, still pretty great photos.

Pretty awesome little spot just outside town. Sort of lame that it costs money.

Haven't done any winter summits, sounds rad. Really fun hike in the summer, lots of mountain goats!

Very few people hike on this side of the park. Always very peaceful, you can often see moose up in Big Meadows

I often drive down here from Fort Collins after class just to get away for a while. Great in late summer and early fall to roll the windows down and cruise.

This is by far my favorite hike within a 30 min drive of Fort Collins, amazing views of the divide and the plains!

This trail is extremely easy, very good for first timers and families.

Pretty easy hike, awesome views of town

We used this campsite for about 5 days. We could get our minivan most of the way up to the site. The last bit of the road is insanely steep and insanely washboarded. There is a flat part where we parked and just carried our gear up to the site. AMAZING VIEW.
