This review is for Mammoth Hot Springs, including the upper terrace drive. The lower terraces are accessed using boarded walkways. Some have steep inclines. Purchase a $0.50 guide as this shows where the steep inclines are and you can avoid them as much as you can if needed. As others have stated, this area is not the most spectacular in... More

There are a couple of cool geothermal features but overall, it's crowded, there are cars everywhere and there are so many better places to see in the park. The Norris Geyser basin offers more variety and West Thumb set aside the Lake is very cool. Or hike out to Lone Star Geyser for a nice combo hike, creek, wildlife, geyser... More

Nice walk around the Mammoth Hot Springs and then walked a short distance to a tasty dinner at the Mammoth Hot Springs Dining Room. We where there during the elk rutting season and there was quite a show put on by the bull elk in the town square during the day and in the streets at sundown.

Last visited in October. There are multiple “levels” to the boardwalks. Steps will continue to take you up to additional levels. If you are not very active you can easily do the lower level. We have found that early morning light produces the best colors for photography but any time of day should present an enjoyable experience. This area is... More

You don´t need all day to see this place. I was a little disappointed because this was one of the last places we saw at Yellowstone and all other places were more interesting for me. Some places there looked like it could be snow.

My hubbie had a dream since childhood to visit Yellowstone NP. Recent documentaries on UK television reinforced his desire to go. We flew into Jackson Hole and the next day drove over 6 hours as the roads in the centre are shut as most people know. We booked 5 nights in Yellowstone Gateway Inn (on trip advisor fellow travellers recommendations)... More

Our tour "Winter in Wonderland" by Xanterra began at Mammoth Hot Springs. We spent three nights at the hotel. The room was small and the bathroom facilities are old. The heating is byp radiator and we had trouble regulating the heat.....too warm even though we turned off the radiator. Otherwise, the hotel was good. The restaurant had great food and... More

We drove 300 miles from Yellowstone to get to Mammoth Hot Springs as there was no way we could access them across the park as the winter snow had closed all the roads. The drive was long and made very difficult by heavy falling snow where in some places the roads were down to one lane and traffic was crawling.... More
