If there were one place that beckons return visits, it is Yellowstone National Park.

I have been there three times, most recently in 2019. I wasn't planning on going there but we ended up going in after touring nearby Grand Teton National Park.

We didn't stay long as it was in the middle of the vacation season. We just went to the Old Faithful Geyser area and later, headed back out as it was very overrun with people. The best Yellowstone vacation we've taken was in 2015 in mid-June before the summer vacation season kicked into gear and schools haven't closed for the summer. The crowds weren't too bad and we took a couple of tours with a tour company.
