10 National Parks in Wyoming That You Shouldn't Miss
Wyoming boasts a positively selfish hoard of natural outdoor beauty! From the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole valley and Yellowstone National Park, the mountain landscape and natural wonders of Wyoming are breathtaking. All-season outdoor activities prove a natural draw for families, couples and group getaways. Sports lovers golf through spring and summer at attractive rates or tackle river and lake fishing, hunting and hiking. Families take to Alpine skiing and snowmobiling in Jackson Hole, Snow King, Grand Targhee and Pine Creek. Every visitor is awed by the deep canyons and steaming geysers of The Yellowstone National Park. Each magnificent sight rivals the next. The Grand Tetons rise over a mile above Jackson Hole valley, where a ride on the Aerial Tram from Teton Village offers unforgettable views. Across the entire state, wildlife stakes its rightful claim, from bison and bighorn sheep herds to black bear and mountain elk. For a step back in frontier history, take the family to Go Native America to experience Native American culture, history and arts of the Plains Tribes. Enjoy tours with indigenous guides, horseback riding and roping lessons. With every experience, your family will gain a sense of the pioneer spirit that pushed America westward.

I really did not know much about the Grand Teton National Park until I read about it recently in print and on-line travel magazines. It is sometimes overshadowed by Yellowstone to the north. The two National Parks are completely different. Grand Teton is much more compact and much easier to visit in one or two days. It is also easily accessible from Jackson or Teton Village, WY, where there are many hotel and lodging options. There are some lodges and restaurants within the Park but I did not visit them and so cannot comment or review. The Jackson Airport is the only airport in a National Park and has non-stop full size jet flights from major western cities. The Tetons mountain range is stunning, accessible, and visible from nearly every angle, including on the western side in Idaho. This is unlike many other mountain chains which are not as easily accessible or visible. It is because the valley floor of the park (referred to as sagebrush flats and wet meadows) gives an unobstructed view of the peaks, their canyons, and their glaciers. The two zones of the peaks are also easily discernible: forests and alpine. I never used the panorama feature on my smart phone camera as much as I did on this trip. The Park is also full of lakes with largest being Jackson Lake, but there are many smaller lakes which make for exploring with short and easy day hikes. The relatively newly opened Craig Thomas Discover and Visitor Center adds a museum like completeness to the overall experience.

Yellowstone National Park should be in anyone’s bucket list who loves the bond between nature & wildlife.Dramatic landscape,Alpine Forest, Gushing Geyser,Fuming Hot Spring, Volcanic Caldera, Bubbling Basin,Colourful pool,Scenic Lake,Hiking trail what all what not. This topography is the perfect choice for photography & a traveler's stop.The whole area is atop of a volcano & the vesicles give a rough & porous texture on the earth’s outer crust.It exactly looks like a painful blister on earth’s skin. I was taken aback to see snow fudge & thermal spring dwelling together without losing their own identity.It’s magic, bounty of nature.Get out of the car & explore this beautiful piece of the planet by walk. Time plays a major role, if someone wants to enjoy the hot spring flow.It's once in a lifetime experience & want to go back again after some years.

One of best views of Yellowstone! Large horned sheep meander at the top with no concern for the two legged invaders. Interesting lookout tower to warm up in, get some great shots of Yellowstone Lake.

Whether you are a civil war buff, descendant of a pioneer, enrolled tribal member or history aficionado, add Fort Laramie National Historic Site to your list of western places to see. The Fort, carefully curated and being restored to its original design and function, is located near the Oregon, Mormon, California and Pony Express Trails. Not only the Forty-Niners racing to the gold fields of California, passed here but hundreds of thousands of Americans and emigrants, hoping to escape the privations of their time and make new homes for themselves and their families. The Fort is a standing ovation to the hardship of travel in oxen pulled wagons, frontier military officers and enlisted men protecting hundreds of trail miles on horseback, and the response of native people overrun and force-ably ejected from traditional hunting locales. Standing on the wind-swept bluff overlooking the Laramie River, hearing a bugle sound the troops to action, the Fort Laramie site offers a glimpse into an important and difficult chapter in our nations history.

What a perfectly wondrous day for a drive/ride through Bighorn Canyon. We had hoped for a glimpse of horses, mountain goats, or deer. But, alas, none were to be seen. Thus missing their photo shoot opportunity. LOL... Instead, as we traveled the winding roads, the majestic beauty of Wyoming and Montana stretch out in all directions, leaving us awe struck and breathless at the same time. There are simply no words to express, the feelings felt, upon seeing Mother Nature's handiwork. One truly needs to see it firsthand.

This is a little out of the way stop that is full of natural history. A nice visitor center with clean bathrooms and a lot of cool displays. This area was a lake that had just the right environment for making fossils - mostly fish, some snakes, even alligators. Family and very accessible. The staff was very helpful and fun to interact with. They are set up to show a live demonstration of how they get they clean the sandstone off of the fossils. A little known spot that should be more famous than it is.
