Your heart is saying “I could hike up these boulders for hours!” (You know, the ones pioneers used to ride for miles?) However, your feet are saying, “You wore flip flops…why?”

Planning is an important step for any outdoor adventure. Before heading out, check the map, ask a ranger, or visit the park website or NPS app for the latest news, updates, and events.

But, NPS, is there a trip planning guide or something to get us started? Why yes! Thanks for asking. Check out our handy dandy guide at: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/healthandsafety/trip-planning-guide.htm

On May 4, 2025, a 47-year-old man from Cape Coral, Florida, was injured by a bison in Yellowstone.

At approximately 3:15 p.m. in the Lake Village area of the park, a man was gored by a bison after he approached it too closely. The individual sustained minor injuries and was treated by emergency medical personnel. The incident is currently under investigation, and no further details are available at this time.

🦬 Wildlife in Yellowstone are wild and can be dangerous 🦬
▪️Wild animals can be aggressive if people don’t respect their space. It is your responsibility to stay more than 25 yards (23 meters) away from all large animals – bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes – and at least 100 yards (91 meters) away from bears and wolves. If wildlife approach you, move away to always maintain these safe viewing distances.

▪️Bison will defend their space when threatened and have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.

▪️The safety of these animals – and humans – depends on everyone using good judgment and following these simple rules.
