Yellowstone National Park Overview

Long before you reach the entrance to Grand Teton National Park, your sights will be set on the towering spires of the Teton Range -- those signature hornlike peaks made famous through countless photographs. From afar, Yellowstone is not as dramatic because much of the parkland comprises heavily forested mountains, burn areas, and arid, high-country plateaus. However, at closer glance, Yellowstone's natural marvels are startling: hundreds of geysers, scores of inspiring waterfalls, and a gorge -- carved by time and water -- that rivals the Grand Canyon. Both parks command the imagination and envelop the senses from the moment of arrival. Read More
