Yellowstone is a little bit of a drive north, but if you have the time while you are visiting, we definitely recommend going!

It is the nation's first national park, and it encompasses 3,472 square miles (2,221,766 acres) which makes it larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined!

Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful! It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope. It is mostly in Wyoming, but the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too.
