Yellowstone National Park — 

The place to visit if you can get there!  The sights are like nothing else.  The geysers and mud pots are great.  While the smells can be a little off-putting, it just goes with the rest of the scenery.  It gets packed during the summer, and I hate crowds, so it can be a little too full at times.  Check out the tours with guides.  On one tour we got to go off the beaten path and see a giant mud pot that was off limits to anyone without a guide.  Definitely an awesome sight!  We stayed in tents the whole time we were there, and I would do it that way again.  Showers can be pricy, but the money you save sleeping in a tent is worth the slight annoyance.  The animals are everywhere, and the speed limit is slow, but don't speed!  We saw rangers pulling over people all over the place.  I hope to go back again soon!  You can't see everything in one trip, and there's more than just Old Faithful.
