NationaL parks in Southwest, Wy

Getting to Yellowstone and Grand Teton is half the fun

Seeing the national parks of Wyoming is an essential part of the American West experience. With erupting geysers, massive waterfalls, soaring peaks and abundant wildlife, Yellowstone and Grand Teton represent the wildest attributes of the entire region.

But often, the best experiences occur along the way. Sweetwater County, Wyoming is not only located on one of the main thoroughfares to the national parks, but it’s located in between them and the majestic national parks of Utah — Canyonlands, Arches and Capitol Reef.
