It Can Take 7 Hours to Drive Around the Grand Loop Road

Yellowstone is as big as Delaware and Rhode Island combined. The Grand Loop itself winds for 142 miles around Yellowstone. However, because Yellowstone is laid out in a figure 8 shape, it’s easy to break the trip up.

Two days for a quick trip to Yellowstone is feasible; one day for the upper loop and one day for the lower loop. But if you want to take your time and enjoy the beauty around you, planning for the detours you may experience, we suggest allotting three to four days.

The Upper Loop takes about 2 hours to drive, not counting any traffic or wildlife jams. Attractions on the Upper Loop are Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Fall, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and Norris Geyser Basin.

The Lower Loop is slightly larger and can be traveled in 2 hours and 45 minutes not counting any traffic or wildlife jams. There are quite a few attractions on the lower loop including Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone Lake, Hayden Valley, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

There are 4 major stops or intersections on the Upper Loop, and 6 major stops on the Lower Loop. They are around 15-20 miles between each stop. Generally, allot 30 minutes of driving time between major stops.
