In the mean time, I’m giving up on this goal as I can’t afford any vacations any time soon. It’ll happen though. Don’t worry.
How I did it: I got a summer job there while in college and went back every year for many years, eventually settling in the area over 20 years ago. Working there is an amazing, transcendent experience for young or old. I can't recommend it highly enough. You can work for a whole summer or for even as little as a month.

Dan is working on story number 2
How I did it: We hired a guide for 2 mornings, and did the rest on our own. It's important to plan where you want to go, because traveling the roads is touch and go since the Bison use them to migrate. Read how I did it…
brickhorse has all the swirling plates in the air!
How I did it: The first time was with my family as a kid. We stayed in a cabin, saw all the usual stuff (geysers, bears, buffalo, etc). The second time was with a friend and we traveled all over the park. This park shows ancient and modern environments of our planet - it is a holy place. Read how I did it…
Anna Griffith Being who I want to become
How I did it: My family has taken two vacations to Yellowstone in the past five years. It is breathtaking and spectacular, as well as crowded. Being able to see the animals is by far the best part. I've seen buffalo, elk, deer, moose, marmot, prarie dogs, chipmunks, squirrels, black bear, eagle and springbuck among other animals. We had our car charged by a male buffalo last summer which was kind of interesting. And o… Read how I did it…

I have a lot of trips coming out that I really want to make happen, so, unfortunately, this one will have to wait. I don’t really want to visit in the Winter, and my spring and summer is already packed so i think this will have to wait until late summer/early fall which I imagine would be a beautiful time to go!
Its amazing to see old faithful erupt in front of our eyes. The hot springs are brilliant to watch. I have thoroughly enjoyed Yellowstone in all its magnificence.
adelea loves ice cream
this is definitely worth it. everything there is amazing. you should set aside maybe a week or two and just go there and see the geysers, hot springs, animals, lake and the whole beauty of the park.

But I want to go and experience it again. now that I will remember it. And embrase it’s beauty even more then I already did when I was little. I would love to go camp there… but that’s kinda scary…
Everyone should go here at some point in their lifetime. It was unbelievable!
willowtandra is trying to remember what sleep is
I’m not big on camping but I love nature. I don’t know what makes me want to visit this place, but I want to. I’m not too awful far from it, just a state away. I have this feeling that if I visit, something awesome will happen…don’t know what, but it will probably be nature related. The forest itself just seems magical. I don’t know, I just want to visit.
Just got back from two weeks on the road and almost 3200 miles… Yellowstone was FABULOUS! The scenery was FABULOUS! The wildlife was FABULOUS! We also included visits to The Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, The Grand Tetons and minor stops in Mitchell, SD, Wall , SD and Cheyenne, WY. Did I mention it was FABULOUS? In Yellowstone, there was plenty of hiking, wildlife viewing, unusual geothermal wonders, geysers, waterfalls, rivers lakes and friendly park rangers to help get the most out of your visit to the park. *
sierrak Lots of snow....again!
Yellowstone is simply the most amazing National Park. It has such a variety of natural wonders and gorgeous scenery. I’ts also fabulous for watching wildlife. You can see grizzly bears, brown bears, pelicans, wolves, and or course buffalo. And the geysers are amazing, as well as the other thermal feautres like the bubbling mud pots.
I’ve been there at least four times. I was looking through old pictures with my mom and found an amazing picture from the early 60s which my parents took, of another (stupid!) tourist feeding a bear from their car! I should scan that slide, it’s incredible.
I can’t say enough good things about Yellowstone. Take your kids, you’ll have a blast!
