No REAL America adventure is complete without a visit to the world’s first national park. Yellowstone National Park boasts the most extensive area of geothermal activity in the world, harbouring more than 10,000 geysers, hot springs and mud pots; the most famous being Old Faithful. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Lower Falls and Yellowstone Lake may be familiar from photos, however nothing beats seeing them with your own eyes! A mountain wildland, home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearly intact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone.
The best way to experience Yellowstone is on a guided tour. From a comprehensive full day touring the main sights to an in-depth tour of the ‘Fire Hole’ area, or a gentle stroll on horseback to a wildlife excursion to spot wolves, bears, moose, bison elk and much more.
Winter in Yellowstone is a particularly magical time to visit, a true winter wonderland and the best time of year for a more intimate experience, fascinating snowy landscapes and frost-laden animals. Hop on a snow-coach to visit Old Faithful, grab a set of snow shoes to head out on explore the gysers and forests on foot or join a tour in search of wildlife in their winter habitat.
It’s no wonder that visitors travel from all over the world to visit Yellowstone National Park, it’s one of the world’s most special places!
