Yellowstone National Park Holidays 2025 & 2026

With 2.2 million unspoilt acres reaching across the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, Yellowstone National Park is perhaps America’s most spellbinding wilderness.

Designated as the first national park in 1872, Yellowstone is a cherished part of the region’s rich natural history and is open year-round for visitors to enjoy. From the world’s most extraordinary collection of geysers and hot springs to geological wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the echoes of wolves in the forests in the night, a holiday to Yellowstone offers visitors an opportunity to experience nature before mankind arrived.

Why visit Yellowstone National Park?

Incredible scenery: Named by Native Americans after the rocks lining the river, Yellowstone is a geological hotspot with more than 10,000 hot springs, geysers, mudpots and fumaroles. The most famous is the iconic Old Faithful geyser, and other highlights include Yellowstone’s own Grand Canyon and the Grand Prismatic Spring.

Diverse wildlife: Yellowstone is home to a wonderful array of species, offering great opportunities to watch wildlife including grizzly and black bears, buffalo, elk, eagles, antelope and grey wolves. It’s highly recommended to take excursions with expert guides who know the best spots to see the wildlife and take dozens of memorable photos.

Great hiking and activities: Yellowstone has a network of fantastic hikes to suit all levels, and it’s easy to escape the crowds of the most popular sites on numerous trails. Other recommended activities include fishing and boating, and in the winter the entire landscape changes, perfect for snowshoeing and crosscountry skiing. Our travel experts can help you arrange these activities in a tailormade Yellowstone tour.

There are so many ways to explore this sublime place: by car or by foot, with or without a guided tour; on a hike or horse ride or even on a scenic wildlife tour. Spend a day driving Yellowstone’s Grand Loop Road – there are plenty of points to pause at to follow walking trails, read about the park’s ecosystem or view spewing geysers. This protected ecosystem is one of the best places to see fauna up close. Walk or hike through one of 92 trails, and make sure you see the majestic Lower Falls. The orange, yellow and turquoise hues of the Grand Prismatic and the soaring heights of Old Faithful are also not to be missed. You may have seen images of Yellowstone before, but nothing beats seeing this tremendous nature preserve in person.
