Yellowstone

The Magic of Yellowstone

Yellowstone is an enchanting area of natural beauty with spectacular waterfalls, green valleys and jaw dropping mountain backdrops.  Wild animals roam free here and are afforded the protection of a dedicated band of enthusiastic and knowledgeable Rangers who can be found throughout this wilderness wonderland assisting and educating visitors. Yellowstone is popular and visitors are many but if you stop in a ‘pullout’  or picnic area and hike a small distance on one of the many trails throughout the park you can get a better sense of the peace that only nature can give you as you savour the majesty of this great place. One of the many wonders of Yellowstone is the Yellowstone Caldera also referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano. These sites are very popular and raised walkways have been built around many of the bubbling geysers and hot springs, one of the most famous being the Grand Prismatic Spring, coloured steaming mud flow from some of these and provide a wonderful palette of natural colours. Old Faithful geyser erupts on a regular schedule and is also a spectacle that shouldn’t be missed. The park provides many accommodation options and refreshment stops and whilst Yellowstone is well commercialised it is worth setting aside a number of days to explore the different regions of this natural wonder.
