Yellowstone trail maps

If you’re looking for a map of hiking trails outside of the major geyser basins, you’ll need to buy a hiking map like the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map. Nat Geo also publishes a set of more-detailed Yellowstone maps and sells them as a bundle of four maps. Or, if you’re also visiting Grand Teton National Park, you can save money by buying the Yellowstone/Grand Teton map pack, covering both parks.

Other thermal area maps

These maps are from photos I took of signs and brochures during my last Yellowstone trip:

The Midway Geyser Basin map (650 kb) comes from the sign at the beginning of the trail from the parking lot and shows the boardwalk past Excelsior Geyser and Grand Prismatic Spring.

The Black Sand Basin map (2.6 mb) comes from the sign at the beginning of the Black Sand Basin trail and identifies major features such as Emerald Pool, Cliff Geyser, Rainbow Pool, and Sunset Lake.

This Mammoth Hot Springs Lower Terrace map (1.9 mb) is a photo I took of the sign located at the bottom of the terraces, showing the boardwalk and accessible trail to view the hot springs.

This is a Mammoth Hot Springs Lower Terrace overhead map (1.2 mb). I took this photo of a sign along the Upper Terrace Drive showing the lower terrace boardwalks as they’re accessed from the nearby parking area.

Here’s a Mammoth Hot Springs Upper Terrace map (1.7 mb), showing the sign located at the entrance to the one-way Upper Terrace Drive and naming features such as Orange Spring Mound and Angel Terrace.

This unlabeled Yellowstone landscape map (8.4 mb) is the same as the painting above, but removes all the labels for a more naturalistic perspective on Yellowstone’s natural features and landforms.

Regional Yellowstone maps

Here’s a regional road map of Yellowstone (100 kb), showing the major and local highways that can get you to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park from surrounding Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.

This regional park map of Yellowstone (200 kb) focuses mostly on the national parks in the states surrounding Yellowstone (and includes some major highways). This map is great for road-trip planning!

Printable Yellowstone maps

The following maps cover the same territory as the maps from the official brochure, but are better for printing since they have a white background and fewer colors.

This printable Yellowstone map (550 kb) shows the entire national park and shows all roads, picnic areas, campgrounds, and points of interest. It includes driving distances and time estimates as well.

The printable Old Faithful map (70 kb) focuses on the Upper Geyser Basin and developed areas immediately surrounding Old Faithful Geyser out to Castle Geyser and Grand Geyser.

Here’s a printable Mammoth Hot Springs map (60 kb), showing the Upper and Lower Terraces and also the village area including the visitor center, Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, and visitor services.

This printable Canyon Village map (60 kb) includes the area around the Canyon Lodge and visitor center as well as the rim drives to the various Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone viewpoints.

The printable West Thumb and Grant Village map (50 kb) shows the many visitor facilities in Grant Village and the nearby West Thumb Geyser Basin – visitor center, lodge, campground, and so on.

Yellowstone backcountry maps

Here’s a Yellowstone backcountry map (2.4 mb), including labels and descriptions for each backcountry campsite. The five maps below zoom in on specific areas in the Yellowstone backcountry.

The Heart Lake backcountry map (200 kb) focuses on Heart Lake campsites and the surrounding trails located south of Yellowstone Lake and east of the loop road.

The maps above are all great for trip planning, but they’re definitely not suitable for backcountry travel. You instead need a topographic map like one from the National Geographic Trails Illustrated series. You can get specific quadrant maps (Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower/Canyon, Yellowstone Lake) or purchase the bundle of four maps that cover the entire park.

Yellowstone lodging map

The highest concentration of hotels is in West Yellowstone; you can view a Hotels.com interactive West Yellowstone lodging map on the right. But there are many more places you can stay: Gardiner, MT provides quickest access to the North Entrance and there’s lodging inside the park too. So you may want to browse all Hotels.com’s top-rated Yellowstone lodging where you can compare reviews, photos, and prices.
