Discover Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is not only the world’s first national park, but it consists of a vast and impressive landscape of mountains, geysers, mud pots, thermal springs, waterfalls and forestland. It is one of those places you have to see to believe, with enchanting sights around every corner, and breathtaking views in every direction.

• A holiday to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, will really open your eyes to some of the most stunning sights in the world. It is home to around half of the existing geothermal features in the world, with more than 10,000 for you to pick from. Divided into around eight chief areas, there are so many things to see in Yellowstone, you will leave wishing you didn’t have to.
• Highlights include the Mud Volcano, with torrid pools of mud, and the Dragon’s Mouth Spring, an underground cave that releases steam and mud in a roaring thump of noise above. The Abyss Pool is a bright blue hot spring that looks as though it stretches into infinity and the Norris Geyser Basin is the largest geyser in the world, throwing water some 300 feet in the air during eruption.
• No Yellowstone National Park holiday would be complete without catching sight of Old Faithful, the most famous geyser in the world. Eruptions are very well predicted by the park’s rangers, so you will hopefully get to experience this completely dazzling occurrence.

Activities in Yellowstone National Park

Of course it goes without saying that you must take a camera with you during a holiday to Yellowstone National Park, but there are many other activities you can spend your time doing besides photography.

• Swimming and fishing are all possible within certain areas of the park. Take a swim in a section of the Firehole River’s warm waters for an indulgent experience. Hiking trails weave throughout the park, taking you across monumental sights. Horseback riding will also take you around some of the highlights of the area. Wildlife viewing is something that can be done along the way, with big cats, bison, wolves and bears all making a home in the area.
