8Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone should be on everyone’s list. However, visiting during the months of April and May has its advantages. For it is at this time of the year that the snowmelt begins, beautiful wildflowers grow again, and baby bison are born.
You will also find it easier to locate a parking space and it’s too early for the summer crowds! Mind you, during the month of April, some of the roads and even accommodations are not open. So enter the park via the north/northeast entrance and book a hotel room nearby.
In May, all the roads are open. All lodgings are available as well. You can use any entrance you choose. You can stay inside the park too. Your choices here include the Old Faithful Inn, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Canyon Village. The restaurants are also open.
