Yellowstone National Park actually spans the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Founded back in 1872, it includes almost 5,592 square miles of ground. It’s one of the first. oldest, and most popular national parks on earth.
Veteran visitors say you need to visit the colorful Belgian Pool. It’s a memorable hot spring nestled in the Upper Geyser Basin of the park. First christened Oyster Spring, this unique natural wonder was rechristened after a Belgian man accidentally fell into it back in 1929 and received fatal thermal burns. So don’t get too close!
Be sure to check out the park’s famous geysers too. Need more? See the canyons, lakes, mud pots, fields, and waterfalls as well. Go hiking, camping, rafting, take tours, and more.
Yosemite National Park ensconced in beautiful Mariposa County is perhaps most known for its 20 waterfalls but there are arguably a lot of significant sights to see here. Those in the know recommend seeing the sunset as it lights up the famous granite monolith known as El Capitan. It is also the biggest chunk of granite in the world and a favorite of experienced rock climbers. It’s 3,500 feet high. Be sure to take time to see such wonders as the giant sequoias, great glaciers, and the Half Dome as well.
