Yellowstone National Park has such stunning natural beauty that it might feel like you’ve arrived on another planet. You’ll see things in Yellowstone that you won’t find anywhere else, like geysers that spray water and steam into the air and hot springs with a rainbow of vivid colors. The towering mountains, lush forests, and rushing rivers are protected from human touch and thrive in their natural state. Wildlife is abundant, with traffic jams caused by herds of buffalo or the sight of a bear in the trees. Yellowstone’s fame as the world’s first national park attracts thousands of visitors every year, which means many of the campsites and accommodations inside the park fill up months and even years in advance. For a convenient location close to the park, consider staying in West Yellowstone, a town right outside the west gate to the park. Here you’ll find everything you need, like shops and restaurants, while still enjoying a rustic Western environment. The place also offers many glamping spots for those seeking a more luxurious camping experience.
