• Taste a mixed drink and a bite at the Bear Pit Lounge near the Old Faithful Inn Dining Room. Serving a light menu and cocktails, it dates back to the early days of the inn, and features etched-glass replicas of the original wooden Bear Pit Murals.

• Head out of the park and into West Yellowstone for an authentic BBQ meal at Firehole Bar-B-Que Company. Choose from items like the pulled pork sandwich, brisket plate with beans and coleslaw, sausage, or ribs. Get there early because they cook for the day and may run out of some of the more popular items.

• Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the great outdoors while munching on a sandwich. Yellowstone Park has multiple delis where visitors can grab a sandwich or other snack and get back on the road so as not to miss a minute of the beauty that is in every inch of the park.
