There are areas to park, and you can just walk along the area and take pictures of the homestead barns and cabins with the incredible backdrop of the Tetons, or just a lovely field in the background. I came on a Sunday morning when it was kind of hazy and grey over the Tetons, and it was raining just a bit but the conditions were right that a few rainbows cast over the Mormon row buildings with the moody mountains in the background. It was very much a core memory - I can't rec a visit to this area higher, even if you only have a few minutes! It's absolutely worth it to see, and if you have some time you can walk around for a while.

This stop was truly a highlight for me on my trip to the Tetons. The views of the mountains are…read moretotally stunning, and I love seeing the history of the area. The barn is seriously so iconic!! It was too busy when we went, but I'm sure this place can be packed. Even without it being crazy busy, it def took patience to wait to get pictures without anyone in them. Still totally worth it to me as this is a totally gorgeous spot for incredible stunning shots!

The antler arches are decorations that are found at each of the four corner entrances to Jackson…read moreSquare Park. They're really cute, and you can definitely get some really cool pictures of yourself or with your family and friends at any of the arches. They're made from actual antlers; I'm not sure who actually collected them and put them together into these designs, but they're honestly amazing and look like a sculpture that could easily fit in at any museum. Of note, there is also an antler arch at the airport right when you get off your plane which I walked through, so you can also get a picture there even if you don't have a chance to make it into Jackson (assuming you're flying in or out of the Jackson Hole Airport). Overall, it's definitely worth a visit to the square even just for the photo op if nothing else.

There are signs that provide information of the area. This view became well known due to the famous photographer, Ansel Adam's, that has a popular photograph of Snake River with the Teton mountains in the mountains. You can take pictures of this place at sunset or sunrise for even better views. All of Grand Teton National Park is so picturesque and this stop is no different.

It was well worth the stop. The marker reads: "Taylor's Bridge. Idaho's earliest toll bridge spanned Snake River at this rocky site in 1865. Replacing Eagle Rock Ferry, 9 miles upstream. James Madison Taylor (a relative of Presidents Madison and Taylor and a founder of Denver, Colorado) settled here in 1864 to develop an improved route for his freight line from Salt Lake to Montana's new gold mines. After his bridge was built, telegraph service reached here July 16, 1866 and Eagle Rock (as Idaho Falls was known until 1890) became a regional transportation center. A railroad bridge was built adjacent to Taylor's bridge in 1879."

Maybe the most colorful pool in the Park!…read more Viewed from the Overlook, The Grand Prismatic Spring had such dramatic colors: deep blue in the center, then going through the rainbow to a red rim. It's a vast 300-ft across. You get the best view from the overlook. The colors are wondrous just as they really are. Many of the photos we saw before are amped up with increased vibrance and saturation, which really isnt necessary. We got to the parking lot around 10am on a weekday. The parking lot was completely full, so we waited around 15min for enough cars leave for those waiting to get spaces. This was the place where we wished we had gotten an earlier start in the morning. It was about a 15-min walk from the parking lot to the trailhead. From the trailhead, it was about a 30-min flat and moderately-uphill 3/4-mile boardwalk, finishing with another quarter-mile up a rather steep hill with no handrails or rope-guides. Then there were ten steps at the very end up to the viewing platform. Some of our group could not manage that hike, which is why i took one star off of this lovely view. The Park is pretty good at setting up access without harming the park or the experience, so we'd like them to figure out something here. Even railings and benches would help a lot.

This was our main site seeing destination inside Yellowstone National Park. We got to the area…read moreright on time because about 5 minutes after we got to the geyser it went off. It was a really cool experience and a must when visiting Yellowstone. I know when my family came this way when I was a child, while most others got to see it, I wasn't feeling well so my mom and I hadn't gotten a chance that trip to come to Old Faithful. I'm glad I was finally able to see it in its full glory. It is quite crowded, so when it comes to pictures just try to stay aware of your surroundings. Try to stay out of main pathways as well as being conscious of the fact it's practically impossible to get photos without others in the background and you'll probably end up in some photos too. If you're already here, don't skip past this well known spot, it's a fun experience for sure. The park is big so if you want to see it all I can see it taking days, especially since the fastest you can go is 40-45 miles an hour with a lot of areas actually being closer to 25. Both my husband and I were so glad we stopped by.

It's cool that the estimated eruption times are pretty accurate, but the actual eruption wasn't anything earth shattering. In my opinion, there are at least half a dozen or more other attractions at Yellowstone that I was more impressed by. The Old Faithful area does have a huge parking lot, plenty of bathrooms, and multiple gift shops & dining areas. So that's definitely a plus in helping with crowd control.
