Yellowstone National Park

It's the world's First National Park as well as one of the largest. But Yellowstone National Park offers a variety of other firsts. With over 10,000 thermal features, you can watch for the very first time as steaming geysers erupt in all their glory. Or at first light you can view bear, bison, elk and wolf—from a distance—as they cross over 3,472 square miles of untouched landscape. The experiences are timeless. Just what you'd expect from a place where little has changed since it opened over 135 years ago.

We invite you to come enjoy 2.2 million acres of steaming geysers, thundering waterfalls, crystalline lakes, and panoramic vistas. Hop aboard a bus or get in your car and take a ride through America's Serengeti—the Lamar Valley. Hike along the rocky crevasses of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and view pristine waterfalls in the distance. Then finish up with the wonder of Old Faithful by snowshoe or by foot. But keep your eyes open. Because you just never know what may happen in between.
