Experience the Magic of
Yellowstone

Yellowstone Country has rebranded to Plan Yellowstone to better reflect our mission: to create unforgettable experiences in Yellowstone and its gateway communities through trip planning advice for those ready to explore this extraordinary region.

The wide open spaces of the American West meet the wildlife hotspot that tells a complex story of an ecosystem. You can sense the heat just beneath the earth’s surface, the power behind geothermal features that defy imagination. The country’s first national park doesn’t hold back.

And park boundaries can’t even contain all that the region has to offer. Lively gateway communities add splashes of color to these spaces of natural and cultural significance. Whether you’re hunting for a place to stay, searching for an adventure, or looking for the best burgers west of the Mississippi, we can help you find it here.
