Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park: Autumn is forever a peculiar time in Yellowstone National Park as the trees begin to show their brilliant fall colors earlier they shed their leaves altogether. The cooler temperatures put the wildlife on the move once again and the crisp air makes it a complete time to research the mountain trails. It does not hurt that the crowds drop off dramatically as well, providing a true sense of solitude throughout the park. In September, the Yellowstone Association Institute will host one of their more democratic events, the Roosevelt Rendezvous, which is a part of their Lodging and Learning plans. These special plans allow visitors to spend their days touring Yellowstone with an experienced guide, who often provide access to lesser known, off the beaten path, areas. Those guides also share singular perspectives and insights into the natural history and ecosystem of the park that the average visitor would not get on their own. The Roosevelt Rendezvous is affectionately seen as "summer camp for adults," offering a dash of adventure during the day, mixed with big food and lodging at night. The 4 day program admits wildlife viewing and visits to Yellowstone's famous thermal and geological features, led by the YAI's trained naturalist guides. Day hikes of varying levels of difficulty allow travelers to get an up close and personal look at the park's natural wonders, while mini-workshops in photography will help them capture the complete image along the way. At the finish of the day, visitors will come back to the Roosevelt Lodge, where they will have a chance to share their adventures with the other travelers over a fine meal. The Roosevelt is one of the most popular lodges in any of the national parks, and it is typically closed in September, but it will continues open for the exclusive use of YAI during this program. Located near the Lamar Valley region, the Roosevelt is in close proximity to one of the biggest concentrations of wildlife in all of North United States. Reservations for the Roosevelt Rendezvous are available on September ninth, thirteenth, and seventeenth for $729 double occupancy. That price admits all accommodations, in-park transportation, meals, guides, and daily activities.Yellowstone National Park
