Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is one of the national parks in the United States with a relatively diverse combination of landscapes. The park's terrain encompasses snow-capped mountains, forests, canyons, lakes, and rivers, with geothermal features being a particularly special landscape—the colorfulGrand Prismatic Springis the iconic symbol of Yellowstone. The park is divided into five major areas by the figure-eight Grand Loop Road: the northwest is Mammoth Hot Springs, where the layered carbonate terraces are spectacular, making it one of the largest known carbonate-depositing hot springs in the world; the northeast is the Roosevelt area, which preserves the old western style; the central part is the Canyon area, where the Brink of Lower Falls and the upper and lower waterfalls are magnificent; the southeast is the Yellowstone Lake area, where hot springs and lake water blend to form a unique landscape; and the southwest is the Geyser Basin, whereOld Faithfulis famous for its predictable eruption cycle. In addition, Norris Geyser Basin is located on the north side of the Grand Loop Road between Mammoth Hot Springs and the Canyon area, and it is the hottest geothermal area in the Yellowstone region. The park is home to American bison, elk, moose, black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, pronghorn, and various bird species, with herds of bison often leisurely crossing the road. Viewing geothermal landscapes, wildlife observation, and hiking are long-standing popular experiences here, and the vast wilderness and varied terrain also provide rich material for photography.

Big Sky Resort

Big Sky Resort is located in southwestern Montana, USA, spanning multiple peaks centered around Lone Mountain, with nearly 2,400 hectares of skiable terrain, making it one of the larger ski resorts in North America. The summit sits at an elevation of approximately 3,400 m, with a vertical drop exceeding 1,300 m, over 300 trails, and dozens of lifts, offering terrain that ranges from gentle beginner slopes to steep expert areas. The resort's core landmark is Lone Mountain; after taking a lift directly to the summit, visitors can, on clear days, take in sweeping panoramas of three states and two national parks at once. The trails on the north and south sides of the mountain each have their own focus: the north side is dominated by beginner and intermediate trails with gentle gradients, suitable for families and progressing learners; the south side concentrates more advanced and expert trails and powder snow areas, with complex and varied terrain that is favored by advanced skiers as a challenge. Overall, the resort's trails are primarily intermediate and advanced terrain, with beginner trails accounting for about 20%, making it suitable for visitors with some skiing foundation.

Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Parkis located in northwestern Wyoming, United States. The park covers an area of over 1,000 sq km and is famous for its rugged snow-capped peaks, clear lakes, dense forests, and abundant wildlife. Ancient glaciers moved through the mountains, carving out deep canyons and leaving behind numerous lakes, streams, and waterfalls. Jenny Lake, at the foot of the mountains, is an alpine lake formed by glacial erosion. Its water is clear and transparent, surrounded by forests and snow-capped peaks. Many visitors take a shuttle boat across the lake and then follow the trail to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. Standing on the lakeshore and looking out, you can see the entire Teton Range reflected in the water. The park features diverse ecosystems, including prairies, wetlands, and coniferous forests, providing a habitat for a large number of animals.
