-7 Beautiful Locations-
I went to Yellowstone in the beginning of June last year (2024). It was not busy and the weather was 40°-75°.
So where are the best photo spots?? Pretty much everywhere, but I am going to give you all the exact locations of each of the following photos.
Lets start out with West Yellowstone, which is actually in Idaho.
#1 Mesa Falls- Idaho
You can see Mesa Falls from multiple vantage points, including the stunning overlook at the very top. This is a view from the very top; you need to drive to it and see from high above. (Lower Mesa Falls Observation site)
(below is Upper Mesa Falls)
You may think this is “lower Mesa Falls: but this is actually Upper Mesa Falls! You can experience a cool mist from the edge and a close up view.
#2 Brink of The Upper Falls
Observation Deck in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
I don’t know if there is always a rainbow here but it is breathtaking either way! The waterfall is powerful and you can get very close. Not to mention, you will be right next to artist point…
#3 Artist Point
Artist point is popular for a reason! You can sit down and enjoy the falls. There are also many birds who will fly through the canyon. The colors are beautiful and I can imagine how pretty it would be at sunrise/ sunset. This picture was taken around 1pm.
#4 Grand Prasmatic Spring
Grand Prasmatic Spring is so beautiful! But make sure you go when it is hot and sunny! If it is too cold, you will not be able to see the spring because the steam will cover the spring up.
What else did I see at Grand Prasmatic Spring?
Well, I saw a bunch of Bison in the parking lot. I would add a video if I could, but I saw them running together. But trust me when I tell you this, you will see bison everywhere. Including the roads.
#5 Washburn Hot Springs Overlook
The Washburn Hot Springs looks different depending on where you look and what time in the day it is. This photo was taken at sunrise. You will see the steam come out through the trees while there is a golden light on the mountains

#6 The North Entrance of YellowStone National Park
All I did was stand on a hill by the entrance and saw this moody scene. How beautiful are these dark and gloomy mountains?
Drive over to Lamar Valley!
It’s a long drive, but you will see a lot along the way! I saw a bear, an elk, an eagle, coyotes, and a whole lot of bison.
Here are some pictures I took on the drive there:
#7 Lamar Valley
You see those little dots on the bottom in the grass? Those are bison!
By the way, lamar valley is huge! You can stay here for hours and take pictures of so many things. You will get to see bison calves if you go in the spring. I was lucky and visited early June!
I even saw this cute field mouse and a badger hiding on a hill. Make sure to observe your surroundings! Sometimes the unexpected photos will turn out to be your favorite
