My first trip to the USA became a moment that changed my life. I was amazed by the scale of the country, the contrast of its cities, and the incredible energy of the people. Since then, I have explored America from coast to coast: driven legendary highways, hiked national parks, and discovered hundreds of places you won't find in typical guides. Today I create personalized USA itineraries so you can experience the real America – vibrant, dynamic, and unforgettable. Let me design a trip that fits you perfectly.
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872 as the world’s first national park, is a natural wonder. Spanning over 3,500 square miles across Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it features dramatic landscapes shaped by a supervolcano. Yellowstone is renowned for its geothermal features, including the iconic Old Faithful Geyser and over 10,000 hot springs and fumaroles. The park is also home to diverse wildlife, such as bison, elk, grizzly bears, and wolves.
Planning Your Trip
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Yellowstone depends on your interests. Spring and fall are ideal for wildlife viewing, with fewer crowds and more active animals. Summer brings pleasant weather and full access to all roads, but it’s the busiest time. In winter, from December to February, you can enjoy snowy landscapes, though access is limited to snowmobiles and snowcoaches.

While a day trip offers a glimpse of Yellowstone’s beauty, it’s recommended to spend at least three days to fully explore the park’s highlights.
Choosing Your Entrance
Yellowstone has five entrances:
- North Entrance (Gardiner, Montana): Open year-round, close to Mammoth Hot Springs.
- West Entrance (West Yellowstone, Montana): The most popular, offering easy access to geysers and wildlife.
- South Entrance (Jackson, Wyoming): Ideal if combining Yellowstone with Grand Teton National Park.
- East Entrance (Cody, Wyoming): Scenic but farther from main attractions.
- Northeast Entrance (Cooke City, Montana): Less traveled, perfect for wildlife enthusiasts heading to Lamar Valley.
Accommodation Options
Lodging inside the park ranges from historic hotels like Old Faithful Inn to modern lodges. Campgrounds are available for a closer-to-nature experience. Nearby towns such as Gardiner, West Yellowstone, and Cooke City offer a variety of accommodations, from cabins to motels.
Key Attractions
Geysers and Hot Springs
- Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Basin have the highest concentration of geysers globally. Old Faithful’s regular eruptions are a must-see.
- Grand Prismatic Spring dazzles with its vibrant colors and is one of the most photographed spots in the park.
- Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most active geothermal area, where Steamboat Geyser occasionally erupts over 300 feet.
- Mammoth Hot Springs features limestone terraces that resemble a frozen waterfall, formed by underground hot water deposits.
Canyons and Waterfalls
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone offers stunning multi-colored cliffs and powerful waterfalls. The Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River are breathtaking, with spectacular views from multiple vantage points.
Wildlife Viewing Valleys
Hayden Valley and Lamar Valley are prime spots for wildlife viewing. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to see bison, elk, wolves, and grizzly bears. Be sure to bring binoculars and a camera!
Wildlife Watching
Best Wildlife Viewing Spots
- Lamar Valley is famous for its wolf packs, while Hayden Valley is known for large herds of bison and occasional grizzly bear sightings.
- For birdwatchers, keep an eye out for eagles, ospreys, and other birds of prey.
