Yellowstone National Park was established on March 1, 1872. It is the world’s first national park.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the U.S., northwest corner of Wyoming, and includes small areas of Montana and Idaho as well.
Yellowstone National Park is about 9,000 square kilometers (3,500 square miles) wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot.
It’s the site of America’s greatest concentration of geysers and hot springs, which form a visible and spectacular link with the primeval forces of the Earth’s creation.
Yellowstone National Park is home to some 10,000 thermal features, over 500 hundred of which are geysers. In fact, Yellowstone contains the majority of the worlds geysers.

Although neither the highest or most regular geyser in the Park, it is spectacular.
Lower Falls and Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone – Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon may not be as big as the Grand
Canyon in Arizona, but it is nonetheless breathtaking. The Lower Falls of the Grand Canyon, at 94 meters (308 feet) high, is one of the most photographed features in all of Yellowstone.
Hayden Valley – This valley, centrally located in Yellowstone National Park, is the first place to go to see wildlife in Yellowstone. As you drive along this beautiful, broad valley you are likely to see herds of bison, scattered elk (and the occasional herd), and the occasional grizzly bear. You are also likely to see waterfowl, including ducks, Canadian geese and pelicans, swimming in or lounging near the Yellowstone River.
Yellowstone National Park have 67 different mammals live here, including many small mammals.There is also 285 species of bird,
16 species of fish, more than 7 aquatic nuisance species, 5 species of amphibians, 6 species of reptiles.
Yellowstone is notable for its predator–prey complex of large mammals, including seven large predators: black bears, Canada lynx, coyotes, grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolverines, and …show more content…
A partially molten magma chamber, remnant of a cataclysmic volcanic explosion 600,000 years ago in central Yellowstone, supplies one of the ingredients, heat.
Grand Prismatic Spring, located in Midway Geyser Basin, has the distinction of being the park’s largest hot spring (3rd largest in the world). It measures approximately 113 meters (370 feet) in diameter and is over 37 meters (121 feet) deep.
Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.
Yellowstone Lake is 7,732 feet (2,357 m) above sea level. It is approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) long and 22.5 kilometers (14 miles) wide. The shoreline is in excess of 160 kilometers (100 miles). Its average depth is 42 meters 137 feet, although it reaches down to 97.5 meters 320
