This Scenic Drive in the U.S. Is Called the 'Serengeti of North America' for Its Abundant Wildlife Sightings
"Spanning 2.2 million acres with five vehicle entrances (North, Northeast, East, South, and West), the park showcases a vast array of geothermal and scenic features—geyser basins, hot springs, waterfalls, dramatic canyons, and the largest high-elevation lake in North America—accessible via multiple routes such as the popular Lower Loop from Jackson Hole or from gateway towns like West Yellowstone and Gardiner. Visitors can camp in one of 11 campgrounds or base themselves in nearby towns while exploring abundant wildlife including elk, wolves, moose, bison, pronghorn, and grizzly bears. Important visitor rules include never feeding wildlife and maintaining safe distances (at least 300 feet from wolves and bears, and more than 75 feet from bison, elk, and other animals)." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
