Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park, situated in the northwest corner of Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho, is a renowned national park of the United States. Established in 1872, it was the first national park in the U.S. and is recognized as one of the world's first national parks. The park boasts diverse wildlife and numerous geothermal features, including the famous Old Faithful geyser.

Within its vast 3,468.4 square miles, visitors can explore lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges, with Yellowstone Lake resting above the Yellowstone Caldera, the continent's largest super volcano. The park's geothermal features are fueled by ongoing volcanism, making it home to over half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features.

Yellowstone National Park offers a plethora of recreational activities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing, and sightseeing. Winter visitors can access the park through guided tours via snow coaches or snowmobiles. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978, the park is a sanctuary for hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians, making it a must-visit location for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
