KEY ATTRACTIONS
Yellowstone Park
Whitefish Lake
Missouri Headwaters State Park
An hour’s drive north from Jackson will take you to
the world’s first national park. Established in 1872,
this mountain wilderness is home to grizzly bears,
wolves and herds of bison, but the most intriguing
aspect of this location is that the entire park is in fact
an active supervolcano! Though it hasn’t erupted for
thousands of years, the geysers that cover the park
give an indication as to the volcanic activity going
on below the surface, making it an exceptional and
unique destination to camp overnight.
Located at the end of the journey in Montana,
Whitefish Lake is a stunning park with plenty of
activities for you to try your hand at. Visitors are able
to take to the waters and go boating, swimming
or even water-skiing. The park also contains some
awe-inspiring views of its crystal clear lake, making
it perfect for any aspiring photographers. The
woodland area is beautifully secluded from the rest
of the world, meaning that anyone hoping to get
some peace and quiet at the end of their long trip
can easily do so.
Heading into Missouri, this beautiful site is the
point where several smaller rivers merge together
to form the 2,300 mile Missouri River. The area
was traditionally an important setting for Native
Americans who were able to take advantage of its
bountiful resources. It also was where the legendary
Native American explorer, Sacajawea, was originally
captured and later returned years later. Today, this
historical park provides 17 campsites and a myriad of
nature trails to various points of interest.
