Welcome to Yellowstone National Park!
Yellowstone National Park is truly a natural wonder. It has more than 10,000 hot springs and geysers that rest on more than 2 million acres, which stretch out across three states. Grizzly bear cubs frolic amid the park’s blooming wildflowers in the spring, while large bison and elk dot pristine, white and snowy landscapes during the winter. Tourists enjoy seeing Old Faithful spout water and steam more than 100 feet into the air or gazing at Morning Glory Pond’s magnificent colors. John Colter, in 1806, was the first non-American Indian to explore Yellowstone; however, no one believed his tales about bubbling mud and hot water springs. More than 60 years later, photographs were taken of the region and Congress named the territory a national park. Yellowstone became America’s – and the world’s – first national park in 1872. Today, more than 3 million people visit the area every year and find solace in Yellowstone National Park accommodations. Its wondrous waterfalls, majestic mountains, and whimsical wildlife captivate young and old alike. Visitors may camp among these natural wonders or stay at a Yellowstone National Park bed and breakfast.

Visiting Yellowstone National Park
It is important that Yellowstone National Park visitors pack appropriately for the area’s climate. Winter can be very cold, so guests should take long johns, heavy shirts, warm gloves, and thick socks. Guests should pack a warm jacket, a raincoat, and water-resistant shoes because it can be cold, wet, and muddy in the spring. The highs during the summer months are in the 70s and the 80s, but tourists should still take a jacket because temperatures can dip into the 40s at night. Visitors should pack enough clothes to wear layers during the fall because temperatures tend to fluctuate.
