Things to do in Yellowstone National Park
While being home to the world famous Old Faithful Geyser, there is so much more to see and do in the park.
• Stop by some of the other geysers – there are over 500 of them! There are also mud pools, fumaroles, hot springs and heated lakes within the immense park.
• Tour the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and be awed by waterfalls known for their hypnotic beauty.
• Visit Yellowstone in winter and go skiing or sledding when the park is transformed into a winter sports lover's dream!
• Get in touch with nature as you watch the park's profusion of wildlife in their natural habitats.
Spend a Day or Two in Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole is a wonderfully lush valley and an intriguing, historic cowboy town. The absolute best thing to do in Jackson Hole in the winter is to go skiing at Snow King Mountain. Olympians train there and you can take a gondola ride to the top to ski and enjoy the gorgeous views of the Jackson Hole valley and Teton Mountains.
By staying in Jackson Hole you can get the most out of your tours to Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
• Grand Teton National Park – The Park holds clear blue lakes beautifully framed by snow-covered mountain peaks. There is also 200 miles of trail for visitors to explore where you are sure to spot elk, chipmunks, moose and perhaps coyotes among the rich vegetation.
• National Elk Refuge – Located in Jackson Hole, the National Elk Refuge has got elk a-plenty! Some of the most fascinating sights for visitors are the huge elk antler arches found in Jackson.
Many of the multi-day packages to Yellowstone from Salt Lake City are extended with a visit to Mount Rushmore. This gives you the opportunity to add a tour of one of the best-known historical national monuments to your schedule.
