Planning to go bicycling during your Yellowstone visit? Roads in Yellowstone are narrow, winding, and have “wheelie” tight curves – not to mention heavy vehicle traffic and wildlife!

🚲 Know where (and when!) you can go: Mountain bikes, road bikes, and e-bikes are allowed on public roads, parking areas, and designated bicycling routes during daylight hours in the summer season. Bikes are prohibited on backcountry trails, boardwalks, and oversnow routes.

🚲 Be aware and prepared: Many roads in the park offer poor visibility and narrow (or nonexistent) shoulders. Bring a helmet, high-visibility clothing, plenty of food and water, extra clothing, and a repair kit for your bike.

🚲 Give wildlife room: Wild animals have the right-of-way! Always maintain 100 yards (91 meters) from bears, wolves, and cougars and 25 yards (23 meters) from all other wildlife.

🚲 Securely store food: Prevent wildlife from gaining access to human food by storing food, trash, and other scented items securely.

“I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly”

Think it over! Also, think safety and act safely. You can help keep yourself and other visitors safe and wildlife wild by setting a good example! Remember to treat wildlife with proper caution and respect. The safety of animals, as well as your safety, depends on everyone using good judgment.

🦬 Give animals room.

The best way to stay safe around wildlife is to give animals room to move. Many parks require you to stay a minimum distance of 25 yards from most wildlife and 100 yards from predators like bears and wolves. If you’re close enough for a selfie, you’re definitely too close. Use binoculars or a zoom lens and move back if wildlife approach you.

🦬 Do not disturb.

Even when you’re farther away, leaving wildlife alone can help your viewing experience—plus it’s the law. It’s illegal to feed, touch, tease, frighten, or intentionally disturb wildlife. Remember that wildlife in parks are wild and can be unpredictable when they’re disturbed or surprised.

🦬 Be responsible.

Ultimately, staying safe and keeping wildlife wild is up to you! When you go out into a national park, it’s your responsibility to keep yourself, your family, and the wildlife safe.

It's that time again to BE BEAR AWARE! To avoid a bear encounter remember to make lots of noise, hike in groups, and watch for signs of bear along the trail. Always carry bear spray and know how to use it in the event that a bear charges. It is always good practice to be aware of your surroundings while on the trail! We want to ensure you and our forest friends don't have any unfriendly surprises.
