Yellowstone national park is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the United States. Beautiful landscape, incredible creatures, and home to amazing geysers. Despite all that beauty, Yellowstone has the potential to be a catastrophic killer. What could make Yellowstone National Park a threat lies beneath the all the beauty on the surface. Yellowstone is home to a massive super volcano. Super volcanos sound frightening but that makes one wonder. What exactly is a super volcano?…

YellowStone wild fire of 1988. These fires were so historical because they burned over 30% of the park 's acreage.

Yosemite National Park is the fourth most visited national park in the United States so camping reservations are a must before setting out on any camping trips! Sometimes, campgrounds can be booked months in advance and some sites are only open during certain seasons so I recommend planning in advance. My ideal place to set up camp is in the Wawona campground, closest to the Merced River and many of the wonders Yosemite National Park has to offer, such as Glacial Point or the Yosemite Valley.…
gradually, and three miles later it crosses an administrative boundary line. The ridge, which divides the Stanislaus River from the Tuolumne River, continues inside the Emigrant Wilderness Area. The roadless area is huge, and it adjoins Yosemite National Park. This is a place where hikers can exhaust themselves, and where they can recover and find peace among roly-poly mounds of granite. One brief trip, a traditional favorite among Pinecrest campers,…
In Yellowstone National Park, there are more than 11 native fish species in the waterways, with the Yellowstone cutthroat trout historically being the most abundant fish in the park (NPS, n.d.).

This fish is an integral part of Yellowstone’s ecosystem because they are relied upon as a keystone food source for birds, bears, river…

There were many though, primarily the cattle ranchers and sheepherders of Wyoming, that feared the return of the wolf and its potential impact on their livelihoods. Yellowstone National Park seemed like the best choice for implementing this experiment, since both the animals, and the human residents of the area, could be offered protection in equal measure. Several decades have passed, and we now know that the reintroduction…
(Blackfeet Nation, n.d.) The historical structure of the Blackfeet Nation was forever altered by the colonization of the European settlers. Thus the modern structure can never emulate what once was. However, the Tribal council does it’s best to preserve and continue the cultural traditions today. It is on the reservation that the preservation of the Blackfeet Nation thrives and flourishes. I anticipate that through this paper one will gain an understanding of the social historical perspective,…
I picked the July 2016 edition of National Geographic because the front cover caught my immediate attention. It has a picture of a fingerprint and it references the CSI. I love anything related to the CSI and FBI so I thought this issue will be a great choice for me. The first article I read was titled “Beyond Reasonable Doubt.” It started off with a cold case in Louisiana about a young woman who was brutally murdered. They were able to gather a DNA sample but found no killer. Years later, they…
