Yellowstone National Park

A vast US national park known for geothermal features, including geysers like Old Faithful, and an abundance of wildlife like bears and bison.

Tips from the community

Yellowstone hardly needs any introduction. The oldest of the parks, and one of the most visited, it continues to wow all who pass its way with a world of spouting geysers, hot springs, and prismatic pools, all set strikingly on the top of a brooding mega volcano. The great reserve spreads through three states but is primarily in Wyoming. It’s a haven for geothermal stuff – of which there’s oodles! – but also a wildlife mecca, hosting buffalo, bears, foxes, wolves, and more.

Okay, so it might not have pioneer cabins or prehistoric Pueblo landmarks, but Yellowstone National Park was the first ever national park to be established in the USA. That has to count for something on the history front, right?
