About Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park, across Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is widely seen as the first national park, a plateau of geysers, canyons and wildlife.
Yellowstone, established in 1872 and widely regarded as the first national park in the world, covers a high volcanic plateau mostly in north-western Wyoming. Beneath it lies a vast volcanic caldera that heats the ground and feeds more than ten thousand hot springs, geysers and steam vents. Old Faithful, which erupts about every ninety minutes, is the best-known geyser, and Grand Prismatic Spring is ringed with bands of orange, yellow and blue-green colour.
Top-ranked sights in Yellowstone National Park: Hayden Valley , Old Faithful Geyser, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
