Nestled within Idaho and Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park. It also has more geysers than any other place on Earth, with the most famous one being Old Faithful, erupting on average about 17 times a day. Yellowstone is world-renowned for its bison herds and is home to other wildlife such as bears, moose, wolves, otters, badgers, and elk, just to name a few.

In addition to all of its breathtaking scenery like the Yellowstone River and corresponding waterfalls, there are many outdoor activities to partake in. Keep in mind when planning that many people consider September and October to be the best months to visit. Since school is in session, you’ll be able to enjoy smaller crowds and milder weather.

It might sound hyperbolic, but it’s true: Yellowstone can provide some of the best glamping experiences of your life.
