Top five best US National Parks

4 Yellowstone, Wyoming

At 350km², the US’s first national park is so vast there are regions beyond its familiar waterfalls and geysers
that many people have no idea exist.

However, when time is of the essence, there are some experiences you can’t miss. Hike up Yellowstone’s peaks and keep a keen eye out for the Druid Peak wolf pack. Then, take a paddleboat along the river, marvelling at the sandhill cranes, bald eagles, ospreys and peregrine falcons as you approach the delta. It’s a menagerie!
