National Yellowstone Park is a national park located in the United States, primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it spans Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone, widely considered the world's oldest national park, is renowned for its diverse wildlife and geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular attractions in the park. Despite having multiple ecosystems, the subalpine forest is dominant.

The Yellowstone Park, in fact, is always open,but in winter visit can book some problems. The snow around here is no joke. And indeed most of the roads are closed during winter. The same is true of access. To enter the park, in fact there are five entries arranged roughly radially around the entire length of the park, and only one, the north entrance,is open all year. The nearest town is Gardiner (right on the state border in Montana). The other entries are opened based on the climate:the west entrance,near the town of West Yellowstone, it is open from late April to early November and for vehicles equipped with 4 × 4 tires or snow from 15 March to 15 December. This entry is considered as the best to find accommodation as to sites outside the park boundaries.
The south entrance,located on the road to Yellowstone to Grand Teton National Park, you can go from mid-May to early November for the 4 × 4 with chains also from mid-December to mid-March.
Then there is the option of the northeast(north entrance),not far from the town of Cooke City,normally closed from November to April and the East (east entrance) near Cody, open from May to December.But this is pure theory: the true calendar is related to weather conditions. If winter brings big snowfall dates may change fall.
The best time to visit Yellowstone National Park runs from spring through early. Then, in mid-October, heavy snowfalls start. The average altitude of Yellowstone (1700 meters) makes the climate is temperate summer and excludes wildlife venomous snakes who can not live at this altitude. If the summer is ideal in terms of climate there but remember that coincides with the holiday period of the Americans, so it is best to avoid, if possible, the second half of July and the first half of August. Best September and October or June

GEYSER
One area that should not be missed in the park is the geyser country:here are about 300 geysers.And about 180 are concentrated in the area called Upper Geyser Basin.The Yellowstone Geyser most photographed is undoubtedly the Old Faithful, every hour and half fires a steam jet of 30 to 60 meters.And the surprising thing is that since 1870 has not missed one of the appointments!
