Yellowstone, the world’s first national park in U.S., which is located in the state of Wyoming, extending to Montana, and Idaho, is a beautiful tourist object in the United States of America. Yellowstone is known for its “supervolcano” and geysers. The most famous geyser in Yellowstone National Park is the Old Faithful Geyser. It is the most predictable geographical feature that erupts almost every 91 minutes. The other popular feature in this park is the wildlife. There are various kinds of wild animals living freely in Yellowstone, such as bear, bison, fox, and elk. No wonder, this place becomes one of the best vacation destinations in the world. So, if you are now searching for a cheap vacation for the upcoming summertime, visiting Yellowstone could be the best cheap summer vacation for your family.

There are 5 entrances to Yellowstone, each of them is located in the nearest city. All vehicles are allowed to enter the park. The entrance fee varies depending on the vehicle type. The fees are $25 for all non-commercial vehicles, $20 for motorcycles and snowmobiles, and $12 for hikers and cyclists. All kinds of entrance fee are valid for 7 days. Besides that, to alternate the 7-day pass, you can take the one year pass. This annual entrance fee is $50, while the interagency annual entrance fee is $80. All entrance passes provide access to all recreation sites in the park.

You can get around the park by your own vehicle during the vacation. There are plenty of hotels and inns dispersed throughout inside and outside the park you can stay at. If you choose to get around by private vehicle, it is recommended to see the famous Old Faithful Geyser in the southwest part of the park. Not far from the geyser, you can find a lodge named Old Faithful Inn where you can stay at. However, this lodge is always full during the summertime, so it is recommended to reserve before visiting Yellowstone. If you expect a simpler vacation trip, you can take a summer vacation package from Xanterra Parks & Resorts. It offers 2 types of summer packages, which are Adventure Package and Lodging & Learning Package. If you are planning an adventurous vacation with your family, you can take the first package. This package includes 5 nights lodging, meal, welcome gift, in-park transportation, cruising on Yellowstone Lake, horseback ride, stagecoach ride, CD of photographs, and baggage handling. If you prefer a more educative vacation in Yellowstone, you can take the second package with all attractive amenities included in it.

However, if you are expecting a much cheaper vacation, you can try backpacking or cycling. By backpacking or cycling, you will not need to pay a vacation package or lodging fee. As an alternative, you can stay at any campsite scattered throughout the park. There are about 12 campgrounds in Yellowstone Park with hundreds of campsites. Campfire at each site is allowed only in established locations to prevent fire danger. Before camping, you need to make a reservation to avoid unavailability, especially during the summertime. This one will surely be the best cheap summer vacation.
