2015 Yellowstone National Park Lodges Experience Planner

FIND YOUR PARK
Find Your Park is a public awareness and
education campaign celebrating the milestone
centennial anniversary of the National Park
Service in 2016 and setting the stage for the
next 100 years. Find Your Park invites the public
to see that a national park is more than just a
place -- it can be a feeling, a state of mind, or a
sense of American pride. Beyond vast landscapes,
the campaign highlights historical, urban, and
cultural parks, as well as National Park Service
programs that protect, preserve and share nature,
culture, and history in communities nationwide.
Further, Find Your Park encourages people to
find their own personal connections within the
network of national parks and public lands. For
more information please see the NPS Centennial
supplement found inside the park newspaper.
PRIVATE CUSTOM TOURS
We can build a special touring itinerary to meet
your specific interests. You, your family and/or
group of friends can spend the day or days on
a private tour, going to places you want to go,
based on your timing. You can leave the driving
to us. We’ll pick you up and drop you off at your
in-park hotel/campground or gateway town. The
touring vehicles include 4-passenger autos,
12-passenger vans, 13-passenger historic Yellow
Buses and 36-passenger buses. Stop by the
activities desk or call us at 307-344-5437 for
further information and reservations.
RAINY DAY IDEAS
• Visit a National Park Visitor Center and spend
some quality time enjoying the exhibits and
video programs.
• Pick up your mementos in our hotel gift shops
while it’s wet outside.
• Play a game. Puzzles and playing cards are
available in the gift shops.
• Take a tour. While driving you can play “I Spy”
with the family - how many different animals can
you find? How many different license plates can
you find? See page 32 for an animal checkoff list.
• Select a comfy chair in the lobby of any of our
hotels and curl up with a good book. Forgot your
reading material? Our gift shops can help.
• The animals don’t care if it’s raining, why should
you? Summer showers in Yellowstone are usually
brief and refreshing, and can produce amazing
rainbows. Grab your raincoat and enjoy Mother
Nature at her finest.
