Yellowstone National Park
On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became our first national park. Although the 3,472 square mile park contains forests, mountains, canyons, rivers and waterfalls, it is probably best known for its unusual geothermic features, the most famous of which is Old Faithful Geyser. Old Faithful erupts every 92 minutes on average and shoots water 135 feet in the air. The landscape of Yellowstone is extraordinary, with geysers, waterfalls, hot springs, sulphur cauldrons, mud volcanoes, mud pots and fumaroles (steam vents). In addition to the opportunities to view this spectacular, otherworldly scenery, you can also enjoy nature at Yellowstone National Park through backcountry hiking and camping, biking, boating, fishing, horseback riding and more.

Yellowstone has amazing seasonal highlights. There is truly nothing like snowmobiling across Yellowstone National Park in the winter, when few tourists and no other vehicles are allowed, reaching Old Faithful just in time to see the rupture. And in the spring, a few lucky folks might come upon a tiny baby bison standing unsteadily next to its huge mother. Many beautiful wild animals inhabit this park, including bears, bighorn sheep, bobcats, mountain lions, elk, moose, wolves and bison. Each of them can be spotted throughout the year, casually dining on fresh berries or willows, staring back over the grasslands and wildflowers, or through the forest as we discover and share their home.
