Yellowstone National Park - the OG of National Parks for a reason! This place is like a real-life fairytale, with geysers shooting water into the sky, animals roaming wild everywhere, and enough scenic views to make your jaw drop.

Old Faithful is basically the park's superstar, and for good reason. Every hour or so (ish), this geothermal giant erupts with a crazy display of water, shooting up to 180 feet!
