Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park, WY

The world's first national park, sitting on a supervolcano — geysers and rainbow springs, a golden canyon, and valleys teeming with bison, wolves, and bears. A big, unmissable stay.

Where to stay

  • Old Faithful Inn (in-park)

    The great log lodge by the geyser — book a year ahead.

You gotta eat this

  • Bison chili & huckleberry

    Hearty park fare between the geysers.
