When planning Yellowstone vacations, think about what activities will be available during your stay. ThereBs plenty to do no matter when you decide to visit.
If you are on a limited budget, try one of the many hotels within a few miles of one of the ParkBs entrances. Rooms with one queen bed start for as little as $59 a day in the low season. Many hotels also have honeymoon suites and family suites. Restaurants are within a short walking distance from most hotels.
No Yellowstone vacation is complete without a guided tour of the park. Ride in air-conditioned comfort during summer or enjoy the majesty of winter in Yellowstone from motor coaches specially adapted for travel over snowy terrain. Learn about the parkBs history, wildlife, geology, and current issues that affect the park. If you would rather go it alone, rental cars are available nearby.
Yellowstone vacations in winter can include cross country skiing and snowshoeing, as well as guided snowmobile trips. Summer time Yellowstone vacations can include hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, camping, and horseback riding. What are you going to try first?
Camping or overnight vehicle parking in pullouts, picnic areas, picnic grounds, or any place other than a designated campground are not permitted and there are no overflow camping facilities. However, camping is often available in neighboring communities and forests outside the park.
Camping in Yellowstone Park is limited to 14 days between July 1 and Labor Day to 30 days the rest of the year. There is no limit at Fishing Bridge RV Park. Check-out time for all campgrounds is 10:00 AM.
In addition to outdoor activities, you can visit the Yellowstone Historic Center, enjoy a play at the Playmill Theatre, observe grizzly bears and wolves at the Grizzly Discovery Center, see the effects of the 1959 earthquake at Quake Lake, or enjoy a tour of a real Old West town like Virginia City or Nevada City, both in Montana.
With a Yellowstone vacation one can see Cultural and historic resources that abound with more than 1,100 archeological sites. A museum collection of more than 379,000 cultural objects and natural science specimens and thousands of irreplaceable photographs and historic documents can be found at Yellowstone.
No matter when you visit or what you like to do, thereBs something to make everybody happy on a Yellowstone vacation. Plan yours today!
