Yellowstone National Park is well-known for its glorious geysers, hot springs, and incredible American wildlife.
In terms of the sunset itself, the hilly valley creates a stunning backdrop for the gold and pink colors. And if your kiddos are feeling tuckered out, they can easily watch the sunset from the car with binoculars!

Mammoth Hot Springs is a fabulous place to catch the sunset in Yellowstone National Park as a family. Seriously, the combination of steam rising from the bubbling pools of bright pink and yellow complements the colorful skies beautifully.

The path to Lake Butte Overlook is a short (but steep) drive, and the view of Lake Yellowstone beneath the orange, pink, and purple-toned skies is well worth the climb.

This is a beautiful place to see the sunset. The reflection of the sun in the shallow waters of the geyser basin creates a colorful and incredibly vivid, stunning view.

Take a deck of cards or a fun family game, grab a beer or a glass of wine at the bar, then relax while you wait for the next eruption of Old Faithful. I’m telling you, it’s an experience you will look back on and relish for a long time to come!

We’d say the best time of day to check out the steamy mud pots is just before dusk hits (or an hour or so before). This way, you’ll get gorgeous views of the nice sunset while still seeing the best of the paint pots themselves.
