Yellowstone National Park- Top Things To Do
There's so darn much to do in this Park's 2.2M acres... Everyone, of course, wants to see Old Faithful-- and the famous geyser obliges every 90 minutes (or so). But don't miss other amazing "geothermal features" - hot springs, travertine terraces, burbling mudholes... And the chance to see bison, elk, moose, bear; the scenic Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone; historic hotels...
| River Rafting Trips
Even a gentle float down a river is great: the passing scenery looks completely different from this view (-canyon walls are especially impressive.) But adding some white-water hugely improves the fun. Pick the right Class of river rafting, and even young kids can enjoy the ride.
| Summer Fun at Cool Mountain Ski Resorts
Ski mountains are getting better and better at drawing visitors during summer. Hiking, biking, horse-riding, rock-climbing, are just the start. Lots of places add on man-made fun: like, say, a 2400-foot alpine slide.
| Mammoth Mountain, CA, in Summer
This very high mountain, 260 miles east of San Francisco, is a popular ski destination in winter, and also awesome in summer-time: take a gondola up to the 11,053 foot summit, to amazing views at the Top of the Sierra Interpretive Center.
