Spread out over approximately 2 million acres of one of the most geothermally active spots in the world, Yellowstone National Park is known for its spectacular geysers, mudpots, and hot springs. You've almost certainly seen iconic photos or paintings of iconic sights like Old Faithful and Yellowstone Lake, but seeing them in person is a truly unforgettable experience, and convenient raised boardwalks lead past many of the park's top attractions. After covering the must-see geothermal attractions, visitors can also go fishing, take a guided horseback ride, or go hiking in one of the park's more remote areas.
