Yellowstone Outdoors

Yellowstone Outdoors presents the outdoor attractions, activities, and services of the Greater Yellowstone Region. The app, developed in partnership with the Yellowstone Park Foundation, provides information on what to do and see in the outdoors -- hiking, camping, fishing, picnicking, historical sites, geological marvels, and more.

Where’s Kepler Cascade? How long is the Cache Creek Trail? What’s Travertine? How do I get to the nearest flyshop? What’s there to do in Cody? Yellowstone Outdoors provides an interactive map and information on these and more than 1,500 other attractions, activities, and services in the Greater Yellowstone Region of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

As its name suggests, Yellowstone Outdoors presents the outdoor opportunities of the region through an interactive platform that both orients the user by their current location and by a comprehensive listing of a wide range of outdoor attractions and related services. Yellowstone Outdoors combines countless websites, dozens of maps, and stacks of travel publications, and local knowledge into a single easy-to-use app.

A visitor traveling to Yellowstone National Park from Bozeman Montana, Cody Wyoming, or Idaho Falls Idaho can visualize the coming opportunities as they approach – be it history or geology, hiking trails, museums, or whitewater rafting. The user can search for specific attractions or simply look for what’s coming up next on the map. Anxious for a spot to enjoy a picnic or get out for a hike? Not sure what Big Springs or the Sheepeater Cliffs are, the app shows pictures and describes the attractions, and hundreds more. Need a fishing license or a can of bear spray, find the nearest flyshop or sporting goods store, relative to your location.

Yellowstone Outdoors is intended for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds; those who love adventure, those who are casual travelers, and those who want a “virtual tour” from the comfort of their couch. Available for smart phones and tablets.

A note about maps: the app uses two types of maps, online and offline. When there is a data connection available, users can select “Map Type” to choose from one of the map layers provided by Google Maps (normal, terrain, or satellite). For those areas where there is no data connection available, an offline map is pre-loaded into the app allowing the app to function. The app download size is large due to the fact that the maps required for an area as expansive as the Yellowstone Region require a fair amount of space.
