With Old Faithful and Friends Shuttle, you can easily explore these iconic locations without worrying about parking or crowds. Here's a guide to some of the most Instagram-worthy places to visit and photograph in Yellowstone:
1. Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River
The Lower Falls is one of the most recognizable features of Yellowstone, plunging 308 feet into the Yellowstone River. The view from Artist Point provides a stunning panorama of the falls framed by the vibrant red and gold canyon walls. This spot is a must-see for capturing the grandeur and beauty of the park.

2. Artist Point in Canyon
Artist Point offers one of the best views of the Lower Falls, where the river and waterfall meet the colorful canyon below. The contrast between the cascading water and the surrounding rock formations creates a dramatic and striking shot. Whether you're there at sunrise or sunset, the changing light will give you a perfect moment to capture.
3. Old Faithful from Observation Peak
Old Faithful’s eruptions are iconic, but viewing them from Observation Peak offers a whole new perspective. From this higher vantage point, you can capture the eruption against the backdrop of other geysers, geothermal features, and the sweeping landscape beyond. It’s the perfect spot to showcase the sheer scale of Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders.

4. Grand Prismatic Spring from Fairy Falls Overlook
The Grand Prismatic Spring is famous for its vivid colors, and from the Fairy Falls Overlook, you can capture its full spectrum in one incredible shot. This higher vantage point allows you to see the full expanse of the spring’s rainbow hues—bright blues, oranges, and yellows—while the steam rising from the spring adds an ethereal touch to your photo.
5. Storm Point
If you’re looking for a more tranquil, serene view of Yellowstone, Storm Point is the place to go. The path leads you through a peaceful forest, with sweeping views of Yellowstone Lake and its rugged shoreline. The reflective water and surrounding landscape make this a perfect spot for a quiet, picturesque shot.

6. Nymph Lake Overlook
Nymph Lake is a beautiful and peaceful location in the park, offering calm waters and scenic views. From the Nymph Lake Overlook, you can capture the stillness of the lake as it reflects the surrounding forest and mountains. It’s an ideal spot for a more intimate, serene photo that contrasts with some of the more famous, larger features in the park.
7. Lamar Valley: Wildlife Photography
Lamar Valley is known for its wildlife, making it the perfect location for nature photographers. Bison, elk, wolves, and bears roam freely through the valley, providing ample opportunities to capture wildlife in their natural habitat. Whether you’re capturing a bison grazing at dawn or spotting a wolf pack on the hunt, Lamar Valley offers countless moments to freeze in time.

8. Norris Geyser Basin
Norris Geyser Basin is one of the hottest and most active geothermal areas in Yellowstone, and it offers some of the park’s most dramatic landscapes. The basin is home to erupting geysers, boiling hot springs, and colorful fumaroles. Steamboat Geyser, the world’s tallest active geyser, can send water up to 300 feet into the air, creating a stunning shot of nature in motion. The basin’s vibrant, otherworldly colors and unique formations make it a must-visit for photographers.
