National Parks
Welcome to Yellowstone & Grand Teton
With its raging geysers and howling wolf packs, Yellowstone stands as one last pocket of a wild, primeval America.
Yellowstone National Park is the wild, free-flowing, beating heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Its real showstoppers are the geysers and hot springs natures crowd-pleasers but at every turn this land of fire and brimstone breathes, belches and bubbles like a giant kettle on the boil. The parks highways traverse these geysers, through meadows and forests, past roadside herds of bison and campsites aromatic with pine needles and family campfires. In between lies the countrys largest collection of elk, the continents oldest, largest wild bison herds and a pristine wilderness roamed by wolves, grizzlies, moose and antelope. Yep, its awesome.
South of Yellowstone is Grand Teton National Park, home to probably the most iconic mountain range in the United States. These showy peaks, reflected in a string of easily accessed glacial lakes, come close to most peoples picture-postcard image of alpine splendor and will send a shiver of excitement down the spine of even the least vertically inclined. Buckle up and climb a Teton peak, backpack the Teton Crest and then recover with the sophisticated charms of Jackson Hole. Rarely are the delights of the front- and backcountry so close together.
The natural wonders dont stop at the parks boundaries. The two parks and their surrounding protected areas form an interconnected area six times the size of Yellowstone and with a fraction of the crowds. Here youll find blue-ribbon trout streams, fabulous hiking trails (without pesky permits) and a scattering of charming Wild West towns with their gaze set firmly on the great outdoors. Budget some time to get a taste of the West in Cody, try Montanas biggest skiing in Big Sky and drive Americas most scenic highway across the Beartooth Plateau.
Mountain bikers, skiiers, backpackers, boaters, kayakers and snowmobilers will all find a million adventures waiting in Greater Yellowstone. Inside the parks youll have to share space with three million visitors a year, but even in summer its not hard to shake the crowds if youre prepared to get active. Whatever your interests, some experiences are destined to become shared memories the taste of smores over a campfire, wrinkled noses at the smell of sulfurous steam and the electrifying thrill of hearing your first wolf howl. A journey to Yellowstone is not only a great vacation, but also a modern pilgrimage to two of the US most admirable and enduring national landmarks.

Why I Love Yellowstone & Grand Teton
By Bradley Mayhew, Writer
It is the wildness of Yellowstone that amazes me; the notion that large parts of the park remain unaffected by human interaction. My most profound Yellowstone moment was in this backcountry, transfixed for hours as I watched a pack of wolves try to take down a bull elk. Occasionally the wolves would glance at me as if to suggest that perhaps I would be an easier meal. Only then did I truly realize that I was miles from the trailhead, alone in the wild. That there are places like Yellowstone that still allow for such moments is cause for celebration.

Wildlife-Spotting in the Lamar Valley
Known as the Serengeti of North America, the lush is home to the densest collection of big animals in Yellowstone. A dozen pullouts offer superb views over grazing herds of bison and elk, but search the tree lines closely with a spotting scope and youll likely also see a lone grizzly on the prowl or a pack of wolves on the hunt. Come at dawn or dusk or in the company of a biologist guide, and be prepared to stand transfixed as nature plays itself out before your eyes.
