So what is the number one vacation destination that the rest of the U.S. searches for? That would be Yellowstone National Park. According to the data gathered, over 10 million folks searched for information about Yellowstone National Park.

Long considered America's favorite park, Yellowstone is a popular destination for not only Americans, but for folks from around the world. However, Montanans aren't quite as interested in Yellowstone. Instead, the most searched tourist destination for us is Montana's other National Park; Glacier.
