Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the world. It covers almost 3,500-sq.-mile of wilderness and is a recreation area on a volcanic hot spot. The park spreads between Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. There are spectacular canyons, wild alpine rivers, lush ancient forests, hot springs, and gushing geysers – who has not heard of Old Faithful?
Yellowstone National Park is a paradise for both wild animals and animal watchers – you can see bison, bears, wolves, elk, antelope, and much more. The best way to see the park is on foot, so put on a good pair of hiking boots and enjoy more than 1000 miles of trails, with twelve campgrounds to rest in. You can also bike, boat, and ski, depending on the season.
