Yellowstone
National Park
Yellowstone National Park is a wondrous land of geysers, mountains, wildlife, and rugged backcountry. Dedicated as the first U.S. National Park in 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant. Yellowstone has many wonders to observe like Old Faithful Geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone with its upper and lower falls, Mammoth Hot Springs with its multicolored terraces and of course lots of wildlife to view. Yellowstone is home to elk, bison, wolves, grizzly bear and moose to name a few. Visit Hayden and Lamar Valleys to see the herds.
Yellowstone's climate is unpredictable so be prepared with a warm jacket and rain gear. Most of Yellowstone National Park is above 7,500 feet. Yellowstone has cold winters with lots of snow with temperatures ranging from 0 to 20 degrees F during the day. The summer day temperatures get up into the 70s and can drop into the 40s F at night. Spring and Fall temperatures range from 30s to 60s F during the day to the 0s to 30s F during the night.
