Review:
Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is the world’s oldest national park and a national treasure which attracts thousands of visitors every year. June to August is the busiest time and visitors need to plan ahead if they visit during this peak period when traffic can cause longer drive times and lodges and campgrounds fill early. Start your visit at one of the Visitors’ Centers and download the Yellowstone App to give you all the resources you need to fully enjoy your experience in the park. A few of the highlights of the park that you need to add to your itinerary include Old Faithful Geyser, the gurgling mud at Mud Volcano, wildlife watching in the Hayden and Pelican Valleys and the crystal-clear fish-laden waters below Fishing Bridge (unfortunately no fishing has been allowed for many years).
