In episode 92, we continue our multi-episode road trip in Wyoming.  This installment is about planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park.  We'll visit all of Wyoming's National Park system sites as we make our way through this series.

In today's episode, we explore some key considerations when planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park, including airport choices, lodging considerations, and a high-level view of the various regions inside the park.

Lastly, we close with a packing list for your trip. 

Introducing Yellowstone Park

Welcome to Yellowstone National Park! This majestic park is an iconic American landmark in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Established in 1872, it is the oldest national park in the US and offers a breathtaking array of wildlife and stunning scenery to explore. Boasting its unique geothermal features like hot springs, mud pots, geysers, and fumaroles, it’s a nature lover’s paradise. From alpine meadows to deep canyons and pristine mountain lakes, there's something for everyone here in Yellowstone National Park.

    Our lodging while staying in West Yellowstone was Under Canvas. This unique glamping experience is fitting for a visit to Yellowstone National Park.

    Old Faithful Cabins

    Our lodging while staying near Old Faithful was the Old Faithful Cabins. These were a relatively budget-friendly option with a great location - just steps from the Old Faithful geyser.
