One of the first things you notice in and around the park is the smell.
One of the most visually striking regions of the park is the Mammoth Hot Springs area.
The Grand Prismatic.
Good ole’ Old Faithful.
And last but not least; the wildlife. Yellowstone is by far one of the most lush regions where visitors can spot wildlife, often even along the road.

Not to mention all the others:
From top to bottom: a black wolf, a coyote mom and her two pups (one of which is trying it’s darnedest at a howl!), a large elk buck, a tiny ground squirrel, an osprey with two chicks in it’s nest, a pronghorn, a raven, and a red fox
And then there are the bears.
Watching the little ears of the black bear cubs bouncing just above the tips of the grass and flowers may be one of my single most favorite things in life.
Yellowstone is full of the most spectacular finds.
