Top Reasons to Go

Going-off geysers: With more than 10,000 thermal features, Yellowstone is a natural war zone of steaming hot geysers, the most famous of all being Old Faithful.

Fisherman's dream: Thousands of miles of streams and lakes, home to several types of trout, grayling, and mountain whitefish, make Yellowstone a fisherman's dream.

Winter wonderland: Yellowstone can be a truly amazing place during the winter months, and navigating the park by snowmobile allows visitors to see all the park's main attractions.

Volcanic ventures: A combination of thinner-than-normal crust depth and a huge magma chamber beneath the park is the reason Yellowstone's surface is active with geysers, steaming pools, hissing fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, and warm seeps.

Nature-calling: Yellowstone's mix of wildlife, mountains, geysers, and water showcases nature at her best.
