Hazards at YellowstoneYellowstone is a large wilderness area with many natural hazards, including wild animals, scalding hydro-thermal features, freezing temperatures, blinding snow, thin ice, deep and running water, and high altitude. Please follow all National Park regulations and common sense precautions to stay safe and healthy while enjoying your visit to Yellowstone.

Be Prepared. Plan Ahead.Planning ahead is essential to a safe and healthy visit to Yellowstone, especially for a rigorous hike or back-packing adventure. Stay well rested, well hydrated, and use sunblock. Wear clothing appropriate for weather conditions. Whenever you are hiking, let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. Consult with your own physician for advice if you have an underlying disease that could be a�ected by high altitude. Medical services are available at Yellowstone. Emergency services are available through National Park Rangers. �ere are three clinics available at Yellowstone. See back cover for more information about the clinics.

Yellowstone is very large – over 2 million acres – and travel times to get medical help can be long, even on roads. Cell phone coverage to call for help is limited in many places. It is prudent to always have a �rst aid kit with you, especially when hiking, �shing, back-packing, and camping. �e contents of your �rst aid kit will depend on many factors, including the length of your trip, the number of people with you, your medical expertise, and how remote you will be. While you need to be prepared, it is also not practical to carry supplies for every possible emergency. Overly bulky kits are often left behind. Consider what you may need; essential items to include in every �rst aid kit for Yellowstone are listed on the opposite page.
