The busy summer tourist season will soon be over in Yellowstone National Park. If you are interested in enjoying one of the most unique geological wonders of the world without movement and crowds, it's time to start planning a trip.
Falling in Yellowstone is a special time with light frosts on cold nights and pleasant warm days, where you can breathe in the earthly scents of the park. Bugling Elk, roaming herds of Buffalo and lazy days spent on tour with spectacular thermal characteristics make it one of the best times to visit Yellowstone.
As a rule, you need to make a reservation at one of the five main campgrounds long before arrival. After Labor Day, you probably won't need a reservation, but it is reasonable to call in advance.
There are five main campsite-only reservations: Bridge Bay, Canyon, Fish Bridge RV Park, Grant Village, and Madison campgrounds. The first-class campground will be more accessible after Labor Day and include: Indian stream, Lake Lewis, Mammoth, Norris, Pebble Creek, Slough Creek, and the Towers-Fall camp.
In Yellowstone National Park, you will find yourself in the caldera of the largest active volcano in the world. Yellowstone has more thermal facilities than the rest of the world. There are over 15 miles of boardwalk for visitors to keep them safe from dangerous thermal objects and minimize the inevitable human damage caused to this area. The park is a uniquely impressive place, and most of them are above the mark of 7500 feet.
Wildlife observation is superb, at least with the observation of deer buffaloes, moose and black tails - a common occurrence. Elk, bear, coyote and wolves are seen less frequently. We enjoyed shooting a giant moose that scraped felt from its horns at the end of one evening near the south entrance to Yellowstone.
Hiking, camping, fishing, viewing wildlife and touring impressive thermal objects are some of the many things you can enjoy in Yellowstone. The beauty of the landscape is breathtaking, and the clean scent of the sage permeates the clean air.
One of the undiscovered features of Yellowstone is the night sky. Some of us old-timers remember the rich texture of the night sky from our youth. Reflected light effectively blocks clear viewing of the night sky in most of the United States, but at night in Yellowstone the stars are displayed in full glory in a rich dark sky.
