Introduction
Expanding into three states, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, the Yellowstone National Park offers an adventurous experience to you and all your family members. Yellowstone vacations are an experience never to be forgotten. Camping, hiking and site-seeing, along with the Native American Culture and wildlife make Yellowstone vacations a place that offers something for every visitor.
History
Yellowstone park has the largest tourist concentration on earth and is always giving visitors a great front row seat to watch super hot water and steam erupt from the land. Also, a tour of the grand canyon during your Yellowstone vacations is a must. It is said a lot of geothermal activity, chemical reactions and a period of melting of the ice dams, led to floods that in turn led to the formation of this inspiring scenery. During the summer you will find a lot of Native American dancing and singing or Indian pow wows in many regions of the park. It is a way in which they wish to keep the natural cultural heritage alive. You will find lots of competitions here as well.
Features
Probably one of the first National Parks in the world, Yellowstone has become a favorite and first choice for citizens looking for an adventurous and a wild vacation. You can choose any kind of lodging you want. They have hotels, lodges, cabins, RV lots and the most popular camping, all inside the park. Start your Yellowstone vacations by observing the wildlife. They have some of the greatest collection of mammals inhabiting the region. Just remember to keep your distance. They have elk (the largest species of deer that resemble reindeer), bison (wild bulls with really sharp horns), bears , pelicans, swans, wolves and moose. When you are done animal watching, go for a hike to get a better view of the park’s natural beauty. The park is near a 1,300 mile trail for hikers to go exploring for days and days. If you are going for a long backpack hike, then, you sure can add camping to your trip. It is one of the best ways to experience the park right under the shining moon and stars. Kids will enjoy all the exploring and collecting strange rocks and plants. There are campsites within the parks, like near Jackson Lake, for both hikers and RV travelers. The Grand Teton RV Park & Resort is another great place to stop for camping. They have cabins, swimming pools and great sceneries. You can even camp near another great natural miracle of the park, the Great Geysers. Travelers enjoy the mineral hot springs and will certainly want to consider spending a night under the starry Wyoming sky near Lake Flaming Gorge.
Tips and comments
No vacation in Yellowstone is complete without a proper horseback ride with everyone in the family. Yellowstone National Park Horseback Rides and Grand Teton Lodge Company both offer great horseback riding facilities. Almost every town in Yellowstone has rodeos scheduled for the entire year but Wyoming is considered to have the best. During your Yellowstone vacations, you must see these rodeo cowboys and cowgirls put their skills to work and wrestle and wrangle mighty bulls and other wild calves and steers.
