There’s an entrance fee. Entry to Yellowstone costs 20 for visitors who enter on foot or by bike, 30 for those arriving by motorcycle and $35 for travelers with a car.

The best way to get around the park is by car. There is no public transportation system in the park. Parking Is available (可用的) throughout the park but depending on the time of year and day, which can be a challenge. Guided tours of the park are also available.
