With worldwide concerns over finances, violence, and swine flu outbreaks many are choosing to stay close to home this year. This has led to an increase in domestic tourism in the United States, Europe and Japan.

They keep it alive in the Yellowstone, and they want to share it with you.

Have you ever seen a pow wow? Some of the pow wows in Yellowstone attract members from tribes all across the country. You can watch their unique forms of traditional and fancy dancing, drumming and singing – and in the intertribal dances, everyone can participate, including you!

Exciting Yellowstone Tours Highlights – Mammoth Hot Springs

Posted on

If you’re going on one of our Yellowstone tours, be sure to visit Mammoth Hot Springs. Unlike many other hot springs locations in the U.S., Mammoth is a site you absolutely don’t want to miss!

The main attractions at Mammoth are the terraces. They’ve been there for thousands of years but, like glaciers, they’re constantly changing. They consist of Travertine – formed by a combination of heat, water, limestone and joints or veins in rock – which is constantly being created to form new shapes that force the water to go in different directions.
