- Never approach wildlife
- The animals in Yellowstone are wild and unpredictable, no matter how calm they appear to be. The safest (and often best) view of wildlife is from inside a car. Always stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves, and at least 25 yards (23 m) away from all other animals, including bison and elk.
- Stay on boardwalks and trails in thermal areas
- Hot springs have injured or killed more people in Yellowstone than any other natural feature. Keep your children close and don’t let them run.
