Unforgettable Yellowstone


Unforgettable Yellowstone
by Josha Brown, Asst. ODR Director

Have you had a chance to experience the beauty and grandeur of Yellowstone National Park? Mountain Home Air Force Base is fortunate to be so close to one of our nation’s most recognized parks. Yellowstone has uniqueness unparalleled to other places in the world. It’s thermal features of geysers, mud pots, hot springs, and fumaroles are amazing and are rarely found elsewhere in the world let alone all in one relative location. The park is home to all types of wildlife from big game like elk, bison, and bears, to a wide variety of bird species. Personally, I believe Yellowstone should be on your must-see list, whether now while you are here in Idaho, or long after you retire.

With Outdoor Recreation, you can easily plan your own Yellowstone vacation. We have 11 travel trailers housed at Flagg Ranch Campground just one mile away from the south entrance of the park. These trailers sleep up to six people and run just $80 a night—an unbeatable and affordable option for your next vacation. The trailers are available from Memorial Day through mid September.
