One of the most well known National Parks in the United States is Yellowstone National Park. Although it is well know, not everyone has a chance to visit. During our trip out west, we got to spend a couple days camping and exploring Yellowstone. Be sure to check out the beginning of this trip in this post: Theodore Roosevelt National Park | An Underutilized Park. This has been one of my all-time favorite cross country trips to this day.
Camping in Yellowstone
While traveling through Yellowstone, there can be a number of challenges especially when trying to camp. There are multiple options for camping, but not all of them are reservable ahead of time. When trying to camp, there is a risk that all the campsites might be filled for the day. During our trip, there were no open sites the first night, so we stayed outside of the park. We ended up staying at a near by KOA Campground for the night before finding a site the next day.
Camping is one of the best ways to experience Yellowstone National Park. If you don’t want to worry about finding a campsite and would rather reserve a site, check out the Camping Site on the parks website. Once everything is set up at camp, it’s time to explore the park!
Exploring the Park
One of the unexpected encounters while venturing through Yellowstone is the wildlife. As you can see above, we had a slight delay due to the fact that some of the local bison decided to take a stroll down the road. Now in this specific case, there was no incidents with the bison but they can get spooked and charge at people or vehicles, be sure to keep your distance from them. See a full list of wildlife on the parks site. After maneuvering around our visitors, we continued exploring the park.
Yellowstone Hot Springs
One of my favorite parks of exploring the park were the different hot springs. Hot springs are geothermal features that can be found all around the park. Each one has different colors which relates to the bacteria that grown in the hot waters and reflect different colors of light.
One of the most iconic geothermal features at Yellowstone is Old Faithful. This famous geyser has one of the most predictable eruptions at the park, but there is more than just this one. Head over to the Geysers Page on the Yellowstone site for a full list of eruption predictions. Check out a couple images I got below during the eruption process.
There are so many things to do in Yellowstone National Park! I look forward to sharing the rest of this trip with you in the next posts and remember to keep seeking discovery every day!
