Areas of Yellowstone
The Park is broken down into eight sections: the Canyon, Grant Village, Lake, Madison, Mammoth, Norris, Old Faithful and Tower-Roosevelt areas. Each area offers unique features such as the world-famous geyser in the Old Faithful area.
Types of Lodging
The Park offers nine lodging facilities including the grand Old Faithful Inn, built from logs. You can also stay in rustic cabins in the Tower-Roosevelt area, or select from newer buildings, classic lodges and dormitory-style rooms such as those in Canyon Park.
Winter Lodging
Because much of the Park is closed in the winter, lodging is limited to the Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Cabins, reached by snow coach. You also can stay at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, accessible by car.
What to Expect

Reservations
All of the lodging in the Park requires advance reservations because the Park. Reservations are handled by Xanterra Parks & Resorts.
