Yellowstone is a must visit US National park. Many places to go, too little time to experience them all. HOWEVER…it can be very difficult to find parking during the peak season. Plan accordingly!
We have visited Yellowstone many times. We have also visited many national parks; however, this one remains my favorite. It is an outstanding and amazing park. For hiking, natural beauty, viewing wildlife (bears were my favorite), and seeing geothermal activity, this park rocks! I always look forward to our next visit.
Beautiful park but lots of driving. Stayed in Canyon Village and Old Faithful Inn to reduce the driving. Have Verizon so we had cell service all over the park. Did several hikes in Grand Canyon and the waterfalls don’t disappoint. The hike to the brink is well worth it. Old Faithful was amazing. Several others also erupted while we were there which was awesome. Saw elk in Mammoth and bison everywhere. Didn’t see any bear which was fine and gave our bear spray to others when we headed out of the park
A beautiful National Park. Highly recommend a visit if you have not been. It was my first time and it was lovely. We had many sightings of wildlife, enjoyed beautiful scenic drives.They do a wonderful job of caring for this park.We stayed in 3 different campgrounds to experience the different areas.
We loved the park and hated the Xanterra operated Lake Yellowstone Hotel. We were in the park for 6 days. I believe we drove every mile of paved or improved vehicle road inside the park. Hiked out to the view many things. Beautiful.
Park was beautiful but the crowds and street construction made it difficult to navigate. Also, the food at the park is expensive and horrible. We saw only two bison and nothing else. We arrived about 11am. I was told to be there about 6a to see the animals.
A large park offering hiking, scenic views, geological formations and large herd animals. Amazing and unique scenery not found anywhere else.
