【Day 3】

Yellowstone Lake - Hayden Valley - Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - Artisit Point - Upper Yellowstone Falls - Yellowstone Park Ecological Zone Hot Spring - Mammoth Hot Springs - Roosevelt Arch

• Yellowstone Lake
  Known as an “unparalleled alpine lake,” Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake in Yellowstone National Park and one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world. With an average water temperature of just 5°C, it remains frozen for about half the year. The lake is vast and deep, and due to its size and local climate, it can resemble a stormy inland sea. Water temperatures rarely exceed 19°C even in summer, making it unsuitable for swimming—humans can typically survive only 20–30 minutes in the water.
  
• Hayden Valley (30 Minutes)
  Located between Mud Volcano and Canyon Junction, Hayden Valley is Yellowstone’s second-best wildlife viewing area after Lamar Valley. This broad, grassy valley with a river running through it is ideal for spotting animals like bears and wolves, especially at dawn or dusk. Bring binoculars for the best experience.
  
• Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (40 Minutes)
  Ranked as the top attraction among Yellowstone’s 90+ scenic spots, this dramatic canyon is a must-visit. Carved by the Yellowstone River—one of the few undammed rivers in the U.S.—the canyon features breathtaking views and two powerful waterfalls crashing into its steep, colorful walls.
  
• Artist Point (30 Minutes)
  Located on the eastern side of Yellowstone, Artist Point offers one of the most iconic views of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. From here, you can admire the dramatic Lower Falls plunging nearly 100 meters, set against a stunning backdrop of clear skies, turquoise river, white spray, and colorful canyon walls. It’s the perfect spot to witness nature’s artistry at its finest.
  
• Upper Yellowstone Falls (30 Minutes)
  Formed by the Yellowstone River cutting through softer rock, the 109-foot Upper Falls offers a dramatic display of natural power. Easily viewed from the Upper Falls Viewpoint and Uncle Tom’s Trail, it’s one of the best spots to experience Yellowstone’s stunning waterfalls up close.
  
• Yellowstone Ecological Zone Hot Springs (60 minutes)
  Naturally formed over the years within the ecological zone of Yellowstone National Park, these underground hot springs contain a variety of minerals beneficial to the human body. *You can bring your towels or rent them from the spring host. The rent cost will be around US$ 3-5 / towel. Please bring your bath suits.
• Mammoth Hot Springs (30 minutes)
  Mammoth Hot Springs is known for its limestone formations, which are very different from the other geothermal phenomena in the park. The snow-white and dark-yellow terraces formed by the hot springs resemble terraced fields.
• Roosevelt Arch (20 minutes)
  The 26th President of the United States, Roosevelt, laid the cornerstone for this arch in 1903. It is located at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park and is one of the main symbols of the park.

• Elk Antler Arches Park (30 minutes)
  With giant arches made of deer antlers in the north, south, east, and west directions. These antlers are not obtained by hunting but rather are naturally shed and renewed every spring by the large number of elk that come from the mountains to the "National Elk Reserve" in Jackson to spend the winter. After the elk leaves, countless treasures are left behind.

  Established on February 26, 1929, was named after the highest peak of the Teton Mountains. The park has an almost pristine ecosystem, with some prehistoric animals and plants still surviving here.
