What Tourists Need To Know Before Visiting Wyoming

By now, we know that a lot of visitors to Wyoming don't take warnings seriously.

There's constant social media chatter about a touron doing what tourons do, for instance, walking off the boardwalks in Yellowstone or getting too close to a feeding grizzly bear along the road in Toghatee Pass.

A little homework will go a long way to learning about what you should and shouldn't do while visiting. This homework will keep you out of the headlines and enhance your trip even more.

Daily, I see people asking questions on the Yellowstone National Park Facebook group to ensure they're doing things properly during their visit. Sometimes, some haters try to make them feel dumb or hurt their feelings, but mostly, people are helpful and willing to give information.

I enjoy reading the questions and the answers they generate from passionate Yellowstone NP lovers. People love sharing their experiences, tips, and things to avoid with others who are excited about their visit.

Even when you Google a topic like "What to do in Yellowstone," "The best trails to hike in Yellowstone," "Is there cell service in Yellowstone," or "Where are the animals in Yellowstone," you're not going to get the first-hand answer. Often, they're AI-generated and not as helpful as those from someone who has spent time in the park.

It's not as common to see information about visiting Wyoming in general. Visitors are familiar with the major attractions, such as Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Devil's Tower, but they also need to know more about Wyoming.
