YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

A World of Wildlife, Waterfalls and Wonder

America’s rst national park is out of this world, equally mesmerizing for kids and adults alike. Think steaming geysers (like Old Faithful), thermal pools, boiling mudpots, the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces.

Stand On Top Of The World

One of the most amazing ways to travel into the park is by way of the Beartooth Highway. From the quaint and vibrant town of Red Lodge, this All American Roads scenic byway covers switchbacks for 69 miles to the northeast entrance of the park, 6 miles past Cooke City. But, at about 38 miles from Red Lodge you’ll be at the Top of the World. Step out for a family sel e and some refreshment at the Top of the World Store.

Wild animals are just that—wild. It’s important to follow wildlife safety, never feed wildlife, and always keep a safe distance from wildlife.
