Train to Yellowstone
When stories of Yellowstone first made their way back east in
the 19th century, people were skeptical. The early visitors'
descriptions of impossibly deep canyons, enormous herds of roaming
bison and boiling water erupting from the ground were beyond the
realm of belief. The rumors of this geological wonderland so
captivated the public's imagination that the United States
government sent an expedition to verify the claims. It was all
true. In 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first national
park.
Sprawling across 3,468 square miles, Yellowstone presents
endless opportunities for adventure and exploration. In Geyser
Country, experience the most active geothermal area in the world.
While Old Faithful never fails to impress, do not overlook the
other spectacular features like hot springs, fumaroles and the
gorgeous Artists' Paint Pots on your trip to Yellowstone. Also not
to be missed is canoe- and kayak-friendly Lake Country, home to
giant, pristine Yellowstone Lake, head to the aptly named
Inspiration Point for breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon of
Yellowstone and Yellowstone River. See and hear the thundering
Yellowstone Falls. Look for roaming wildlife in the Lamar and
Hayden Valleys. You never know what lies ahead in this magnificent
wild space.
Yellowstone vacation packages allow travelers to explore all of
this and more as they embark on bus tours and excursions through
both the upper loop and lower loop of the park. As if this national
treasure were not impressive enough on its own, many vacation tours
include time in the West's other spectacular parks, as well. Select
from tours on Amtrak to Yellowstone, our vacations of
Yellowstone and Grand Tetons, trip packages that travel from Mount
Rushmore to Yellowstone and vacation tours that go to parks
such as Zion, Bryce Canyon, Glacier, Canyonlands and Arches
in addition to highlighting the granddaddy of them all,
Yellowstone.
