Yellowstone NP is kind of like a one-stop shop for nature...geysers, lakes, wildlife, canyons, waterfalls, mountains, you name it. Quite fitting for it to be the world´s first national park. Much of the park itself actually lies within a volcano...one of the world´s largest. We only spent a day there but squeezed in a lot...watched Old Faithful blow some steam (she´s still pretty regular), did a couple short hikes, drove by Lake Yellowstone, saw a grizzly and cubs from a distance, saw the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, walked by the beautiful geothermal pools, had the car stopped several times by herds of buffalo...everything you would want in a day at Yellowstone. Would love to have seen some of the more rare wildlife like mountain lions, wolverines, or wolves...but then that would probably require a bit more time than we were willing to spend.
I´d like to go back in the winter sometime.
