This is a great place to stay because there many fun things to do in the town of Jackson on days you are not going to be in the park. The restaurants and saloons are really fun to spend time in and there are plenty of great shops and galleries to find treasures in. As you are heading out to Yellowstone you may see the National Elk Refuge which is also a great stop.

There are so many things to see in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone was originally established as a park by Ulysses S. Grant in 1872. It is the first national park in the world and was created so that the wild life and natural features would be spared human development. The National Park Service was established a year after Yellowstone became a park. The U.S. Army were the first overseers of the park. Since then the park has researched in more than 1,000 different archaeological sites that span over 3,468 miles of lakes, canyons, mountain ranges and rivers.

Old Faithful Geyser is by far the most visited feature of the park. The name of the Geyser came from the men on the Washburn Langford Doane Expedition. They were Henry Washburn and Nethaniel P Langford with there army escort Lt. Gustavus C Doane. They kept record of the geyser and its frequency of eruption and named it old faithful because it erupted every hour. Some of the other beautiful sights in the area include Kepler Cascades and Firehole Falls. Old Faithful if the largest geyser but there are many smaller geysers in the area to see. Bring your hiking shoes and enjoy the view.
