Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the world, established in 1872, sprawling across over 3,400 square kilometres of diverse landscapes including geysers, hot springs, and vast forests. Features like the iconic Old Faithful geyser and the colorful Grand Prismatic Spring draw visitors, while wildlife such as bison and elk roam freely. Plan for a full day to experience the major sites, ideally in late spring or early autumn when the crowds are lighter and temperatures are mild. The park is easily accessible from Jackson Hole, which serves as a common base for exploring this natural wonder. Be prepared for variable weather and bring layers.
