About Yosemite National Park

For the best camping, hiking, fishing, cycling, horseback riding, llama packing, skiing, or just lazing-about experience around, you can’t miss out on a trip to Yellowstone National Park. There’s something for everyone in the 3,500 sq miles. You will definitely want to pay a visit to Old Faithful, the famous geyser that erupts roughly 20 times per day. With over 1,000 miles of trails, you’ll need comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots. Watch the bears that call the park home from a safe distance, or plan to join one of the Bear Jams

If a winter visit is more your style, pack your skis or your snowshoes and make your own tracks through the snow. There are also snowmobile and snow coach tours to take a guided tour. Yellowstone was established as the world’s first national park in 1872, sitting on top of a volcanic hot spot in Wyoming and parts of Montana and Idaho. Bring your camera because the animals, canyons, rivers, forests, hot springs, and gushing geysers are something you will want to remember decades after your visit.
