You Knew This Was Coming

As long as we’re talking about national parks – for that matter, if you’re considering making a tour of them or adding even one to your list of must see US attractions – then you’ve got to consider Yellowstone. Besides its expanse and beauty – this is the first National Park established in our country and certainly deserves a nod just for that.

We like educational tours around here.  When you put students and travel together, education is almost inevitable.  There is simply so much to learn from our earth, from travel, and about our country’s rich and amazing history. Yellowstone is full of educational treasure like this.  Ranger-led programs give students insight into ecology, geology, wildlife, weather patterns, and so much more. Plus, every American should see Old Faithful at least once – the amazingly consistent geyser. Can you imagine the history it could share? And, although the most famous, Old Faithful is not the only geyser in Yellowstone. There are hundreds of others as well as hot springs – one of the most fascinating wonders of nature.

Yellowstone is an unequaled experience.  It has its own Grand Canyon and amazing sights throughout. There are activities galore and a rich, fantastic history – all brilliant choices for student tours.
