Yellowstone National Park remained very special from our last road trip through USA. It is not only the oldest national park but also one of the most extensive parks in the USA. We spent 5 days in the park and not only face bubbling geysers and heat-bubbling mud holes. We also travel along roaring waterfalls, bears, bisons and lots of other wild animals. It is a true natural spectacle!
We have a shortstop in the village of Jackson Hole. Then we headed for Yellowstone Park and the West Yellowstone and the Hebgen Lake. Here we hired a camping hut at the lake for the nights.
The trail took us first through the Grand Teton National Park. We went past a magnificent mountain panorama, the Teton Range. Another reason to go back here is to visit the Grand Teton National Park. Here there are endless hiking trails in fantastic natural scenery!
Shortly after that, we crossed the South Entrance to Yellowstone Park. We came into contact with the American Bison, the inhabitants of the park. After countless Bison stops at the edge of the road, we reached the West Thumb Geyser Basin. It is right next to the Yellowstone Lake. There are many basked in front of the basin, which gushes in front of us.
It depends on the temperature of the water and the number of minerals. They can get seen in a variety of color combinations. Which in particular on sunny days makes pictures appear quite bizarre. Unfortunately, we were still together. There was a lack of light. But even without the sun, the colors still came to light and often looked like from another world.
In Yellowstone Park, it is only a few minutes before you get to the next highlight of nature. In the Mud Volcano, the heat through the mud finds its way to the surface and the infinite power behind it. Even more imposing it is next door, at the Dragon's Mouth Spring. There it is even wilder. Suitable for this are eerie sounds caused by the waves of hot water inside the cave.
The water splashes from the cave, accompanied by quite bad smelling steam swaths. The boiling hot water sprung up to the sidewalks.
Under the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is a supervolcano. And he could break out much earlier than researchers had hitherto suspected.
The last time the volcano erupted was out 174,000 years ago. When it is time again, no one can predict. Now, it becomes clear that the early warning period is much shorter. The situation under the Yellowstone National Park is currently regarded as quiet. The experts are more concerned about the Phlegraean Fields super-volcano near Naples.
America's national parks often give the impression of an artificial amusement park. There are all the perfect sidewalks, viewpoints etc. but it is still wild nature.
We rented a small camping hut at Hebgen Lake. This was - apart from tents - the cheapest option for several days at Yellowstone Park. Within the national park, it is quite expensive and needs a reservation in good time. We booked everything only a few days before we were on the way.
In the village of West Yellowstone are also several normal supermarkets. The ride in the morning gray was always an experience for itself! Shortly behind the West Entrance, fishing can get done in peace. In the Yellowstone National Park, there are two huge circular routes to drive. The West Entrance is a starting point for this. Follow the road to the park and you will be more or less exactly between the two circuits.
Yes, bisons have also learned to love and appreciate the advantages of a road through the woods of the park. If a bear gets sighted somewhere on the roadside, a small traffic jam also arises. Because then almost everyone stands at the roadside to miss nothing. This goes so well until the first ranger car is flashing and everyone is unmoving.
Only so we could, for example, discover this super buffy bear! We would have liked to watch the little ones for hours, but it was not long before we got expelled by a ranger of the way. The viewpoints are best to see where many locals park and are usually built with some neat telescope.
The most impressive is the area around Old Faithful, the most famous geyser in the world. No less spectacular are the huge waterfalls in Yellowstone Park. Especially the waterfalls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone Park.
The Yellowstone National Park is now our favorite among all the parks we have visited in the US so far. We will come back again and again. As a rental car, I generally recommend an SUV in the US, especially in national parks. Due to the elevated seating position the view is not only better, a Bison on the street looks kind of handier.Original link
