Featuring scenery beyond the realm of belief for early visitors, Yellowstone became the world's first national park in 1872. Today, it continues to impress, with its 3,468 square miles of wonder. Much of the scenery remains unchanged from the 19th century - the impossibly deep canyons, the enormous herds of roaming bison, and the boiling water erupting from the ground. Each Yellowstone vacation is built with all its most impressive sights in mind, exploring the Upper and Lower Loops to reveal well-preserved wonders.
See the crowning jewel of Geyser Country, Old Faithful, as well as mighty examples of geothermal activity in the hot springs, furamoles and the gorgeous Artists' Paint Pots. Venture into Lake Country, home to Yellowstone Lake, and see highlights like the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, the Upper and Lower Falls, and the lush Hayden Valley. Opportunities to spot wildlife await at every turn, and you never know what lies ahead in this magnificent wild space. Explore Yellowstone on an escorted or independent vacation that showcases the diversity of the West's national parks.
