Yellowstone National Park, the America's first national park that was designated in 1872 boasts the largest geyser collection in the world including Old Faithful and is located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Containing over 2 million acres, Yellowstone National Park is home to the largest high-altitude lake in North America and one of the biggest petrified forests in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park also features 290-plus waterfalls, more than 70 different mammals, 322 bird species, 1,100+ plant species, 12 campgrounds and 9 visitor's centers. There are plenty of bus, snowmobiling, hiking, bird watching, and horseback guided tours in Yellowstone National Park. A Yellowstone tour will bring you to popular sites such as Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone Lake, Mammoth Hot Springs, Grand Prismatic Spring, and much, much more! With so much to see and do, you'll need multiple days to explore this amazing national park with a Yellowstone vacation package.
Expect to feel a sense of reverence when you see Yellowstone’s incomparable landscape in person. The heat generated by magma lying close beneath the surface fuels the formation of Yellowstone’s fumaroles, hot and warm springs, geysers and bubbling mud pools.
Both Norris Geyser Basin and Black Sand Basin offer you several warm and hot springs to explore. Sulfur from below the surface gives a glorious and mesmerizing greenish tinge to the springs and lakes you find here. Over in Midway Geyser Basin, the rainbow of colors playing across the surface of Grand Prismatic Spring - the largest hot spring in the USA - is an unforgettable sight. The Basins are also home to many of the animals and birds that live within the park.
Wildlife abounds in Yellowstone – gray wolves, elk, grizzly bears, buffalo, deer, and a myriad of birds (including the splendid bald eagle). A trip to Yellowstone between the summery months of May and September will treat you to the splendor of its many flowering plants in bloom. These include the Yellowstone Sand Verbena, which is found only in Yellowstone, whose delicate flowers dot the shores of the park’s lakes.
A Yellowstone winter package lets you see the park transformed into a true “winter wonderland.” The contrast of Old Faithful’s gush of hot water against a snowy backdrop is something you will not soon forget. Go skiing, snowboarding or sledding during the day then at night, enjoy the inviting warmth of a roaring fire as you gaze out at an incredibly star-filled sky.
Within the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone are spectacular waterfalls that are sure to leave you breathless, just as any of the other 350 identified waterfalls in Yellowstone would – such is their hypnotic beauty. At the base of the canyon flows the Yellowstone River which moves further north to also carve out the Black Canyon of Yellowstone.
The most famous attraction of all is perhaps Old Faithful Geyser which amazes and delights visitors with a sudden burst of warm water every 90 minutes (give or take 10 minutes). Over 500 other geysers are located in the park – more than you would find in all of the world’s other geyser regions – combined!
Yellowstone tour packages take you to the park’s most popular sites and a few of those off the beaten track. For instance, there are tours combining the experience of all the geological marvels of Yellowstone with a visit to the historical and awe-inspiring Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
Grand Teton National Park adjoins Yellowstone and a stop to view its highest peak – Grand Teton – is a common feature of many Yellowstone packages. So, get your camera ready. After you have taken in the beauty of Yellowstone, shaped by its volcanic past (and present) you can take some keepsake snapshots of the breathtakingly majestic Grand Teton.
Better yet, how about a single, Yellowstone vacation package giving you the chance to visit all three parks and their stunning attractions – a Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Mount Rushmore tour package! Many of these will even take you further south to the Old West-style town of Jackson Hole, Montana.
The tours can sometimes last over a week, but don’t worry – you will never be bored! There is maximum sightseeing and the chance to engage in the many attractions making up your trip’s itinerary. There is much to do and see, you may have to reserve another Yellowstone vacation package to experience it all!
