Wander Freely, Plan Smartly
Discover the world's first national park, where geothermal wonders, abundant wildlife, and pristine wilderness create an outdoor paradise unlike any other. Yellowstone is a natural wonder of extraordinary beauty—from the iconic Old Faithful geyser that erupts with clockwork precision, to the dramatic Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone where the mighty Yellowstone River has carved its way through colorful rock formations, from the pristine alpine lakes that reflect the surrounding mountains like mirrors, to the vast grasslands where bison, elk, and wolves roam freely. This is a park where every natural feature tells a story of geological forces at work, where every trail leads to a new wonder, and where the concept of 'wilderness' takes on its truest meaning. From the spiritual heart of the geothermal features to the dramatic landscapes of the Lamar Valley, from the pristine wilderness of the backcountry to the accessible boardwalks that showcase the park's unique features, from the world-famous wildlife viewing to the traditional visitor centers that tell the story of this remarkable place—Yellowstone offers experiences that range from the deeply spiritual to the exhilaratingly adventurous. Whether you're watching Old Faithful erupt against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains, spotting a grizzly bear in its natural habitat, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment by one of the park's pristine lakes while the wildlife goes about its daily business, Yellowstone has the power to remind you of the incredible beauty and power of our natural world.
