Is Yellowstone National Park on your bucket list?

Yellowstone National Park and nearby Jackson Hole are very popular family summer destinations. If you have never been to these amazing spots, NOW is the best time to plan your visit. The scenery is just breathtaking! Yellowstone is the "world's first national park," and Teton Village, a scenic resort area, is just 10 miles from Jackson Hole.

One of the closest and easiest airports to fly into is the Jackson Hole Airport. Nearby, there are lots of activities that will interest the whole family. Choose from hiking in Grand Teton National Park, whitewater rafting down the Snake River, horseback riding, fly fishing, and wildlife tours. Of course, there is shopping and great local restaurants. Pack your outdoor gear and go have some fun!

The south entrance of Yellowstone National Park is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Jackson Hole. Yellowstone is nearly 3,500 square miles. Most of the park is located in Wyoming, but it does spread into parts of Montana and Idaho.

Yellowstone Park has spectacular scenery with canyons, Alpine rivers, hot springs, and geysers. Visitors love seeing the park's most famous geyser - "Old Faithful".


This amazing park is home to a great variety of wildlife. Bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope live in the park. There is no "best time" to visit because each season is magical. Decide what you want to see, and I will tell you the best time to visit. The summer months (June to August) is the busiest time of year when the weather is warm and school-age children are on summer vacation. The important thing to remember is to plan early because the camp sites and lodges on the park's ground sell out very quickly!

How much is the entrance fee to Yellowstone?
$25 for a private, non-commercial vehicle.
$20 for a motorcycle or snowmobile in winter.
$12 for visitors 16 years and older entering by foot, bike or skis.


Note that these fees provide the visitor with a seven-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The $10 Interagency Senior Pass (62 and older) is a lifetime pass available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
