go to theold and faithful inn, the most desirable accommodation and largest log cabin in the world. It has a huge stone fireplace and a handmade clock that stands proudly on it. Have a leisurely breakfast there and head towards Old Faithful, a highly predictable geothermal cone geyser. These columns of boiling water thrown at a height of almost three hundred meters will leave you speechless. At night, head to another amazing place, the Yellowstone Caldera. It is a supervolcano and its magma pit remains a cause for confusion and wonder.

Dag 3 Yellowstone National Park

Take the opportunity to explore part of the beginning of the world's first national park. With wildlife on site, you get a whole new experience of walking around a well-built fort with animals inside. Visit thegiant hot springsafter. Mammoth Hot Springs is a must see in Yellowstone. They are unique because of the composition of limestone, which is a relatively soft type of rock, which makes the springs look like an inverted cave. End your first half of 6 days in Yellowstone National Park with a visit to the Roger National Park Museum.

Dag 4 Yellowstone National Park

Start your day with a hike to Uncle Tom's Trail. This trail takes you to the top of the Grand Canyon from the base of the falls which are less than 300 feet high. You can even see Rainbow cutting through the splash of those falls. After your hike, head to Canyon Village for a nice lunch and take some time to shop for souvenirs for your friends and loved ones. Then go to theValle de Hayden, a beautiful valley with breathtaking views of the Canyon and herds of bison, grizzly bears, geese, pelicans and abundant wildlife.

Dag 5 Yellowstone National Park

Start your morning with a visit to the Morning Glory Pool, a hot spring located in the upper geyser basin. Originally known as Convolutus, this pool's signature color is a star attraction and is due to the bacteria that live in it. After heading south on the Grand Loop, you will come to the Firehole River. Take a detour to experience the outstanding scenic beauty of the gorge and falls. You can then visit Tower Falls at sunset when it is not so busy.

Dag 6 Yellowstone National Park

Spend your last day of 6 days in Yellowstone National Park hiking Mount Washburn. The hike is scenic with refreshing wildflower views and if you're lucky you might even see bears and deer at the top. The mountain looks even more impressive when the top is covered in snow. Rest somewhere on the benches, enjoy a leisurely lunch and then take a circular walk through a narrow ravine to experience some spectacular waterfalls and some hidden hot springs.
