Yellowstone National Park 1 Yellowstone National Park is a favorite to millions of visitors each year, the flagship of the National Park Service in the world. Since the first explorers began documenting their discoveries to modern day, the features of Yellowstone National Park have in fact remained the same. 2 Yellowstone was the first National Park created by the US government in 1876 to preserve the natural beauty of this strange and beautiful place. In addition to preserving its various geothermal attractions, Yellowstone National Park serves as a good place for a wide variety of American native wildlife. The last remaining herd of wild buffalo in the USA still peacefully wanders on the meadows of Yellowstone. You can easily spot many of these wild animals such as deer, eagles, bears and wolves from your car as you drive through the magnificent scenery of Yellowstone. 3 The features that at first attracted interest, and led to the preservation of Yellowstone as a national park, were geological: the geothermal phenomena (there are more geysers and hot springs here than in the rest of the world combined), the colorful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, fossil forests, and the Yellowstone Lake. The human history of the park is evidenced by cultural sites dating back 12,000 years. More recent history can be seen in the historic structures and sites that represent the various periods of park4. Old Faithful, the famous geyser, is the most popular attraction of Yellowstone National Park. It erupts more frequently than other large geysers. Contrary to popular belief Old Faithful is not the largest geyser in the park. Eruptions at Old Faithful last from 1 to 5 minutes, and spray water and steam up to 184 feet, at intervals of every 80 minutes. 5. The interest in seeing a wolf has become one of the main wildlife attractions for visitors coming to Yellowstone from both around the country and the world. Its not unusual most days in the park to see a crowd gather along roadsides in hopes of glimpsing one of the rare wild animals. Visitors planning to visit the park to see wolves or Yellowstones other typical wildlife are reminded to be very careful and remember that the animals are wild.6. Yellowstone National Park forms the core of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) one of the largest untouched temperate zone ecosystems on the earth today. This 28,000-square-mile region preserves and feeds a variety of wildlife species and the natural processes that keep them alive.7. Each of Yellowstone National Parks separate partsthe hydrothermal features, the wildlife, the lakes, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, and the petrified treescould easily stand alone as aprinciple element of a national park. They are all at one place, which is evidence to Greater Yellowstones variety and natural wealth.IV.
