Yellowstone information

Which was the first park made? All of the accommodations, plants and wildlife are in Yellowstone. Its history is impressive with highlights, weather conditions and natural features. The natural features tell about different things that happen in Yellowstone. There are lots of trees and plants to look at. There is a lot of wildlife that can be seen there, all animals are different shapes and sizes. There is so much to do in Yellowstone. Last but not least, perfect weather makes Yellowstone the "Queen of all parks."

Geysers are hot springs that fling steam and water into the air and Old Faithful is the park's biggest attraction. Steamboat is the tallest geyser and regularly erupts to 500 feet. One eruption can last 8 hours! Mud pots are pools of thick mud that bubble and gurgle. The heat makes them splatter varying colors depending upon which minerals they contain. The natural features show why it has the features it has. Visitors can see tremendous amounts of thermal activity. There are many geysers, hot springs and mud pots that make the park stand out. Another geyser is Old Faithful, Old Faithful erupts approximately every 70 minutes. In the center of the park there are only lakes, deep canyons and vast forests. Yellowstone has over 10,000 thermal features but 250 of them are geysers.

There are many different types of plants in Yellowstone. Most of the park is evergreen forest. The evergreen forests are mostly lodge pole pine. The forests also include Douglas Fir, Quaking Aspen, and Engleman Spruce trees. When you are talking about plants, visitors think you are talking about bushes.

Yellowstone has a vast wildlife. In Yellowstone the black grizzly bear is one of the larger animals but is well known in Yellowstone. Squirrels can easily be spotted because of their size. Ducks can also easily be spotted. Bison, moose and coyotes are all larger animals.

In the Yellowstone area, Paleo man left behind some artifacts such as tools and petroglyphs (rock pictures) which show that they were hunters. Many Indians such as the Crow, Shoshone, Bannock, and Sheapeaters lived in wickiups, loose hollow piles of sticks leaning against each other. Saccagwea was a famous Shoshone Indian who helped Lewis and Clark cross Yellowstone River in 1806. No one believed John Colter's tall tales of natural fountains that spouted a steam jet as high as a tree or of colorful mud that bubbled and boiled like a witch's brew, or thundering herds of bison that shook the ground like an earthquake. After Lewis and Clark, settlers poured in and realized the mountain man John Colter was telling true "tall tales". Congress voted to establish Yellowstone National Park on March 1, 1872 and President U.S. Grant signed a bill making it official. Visitors have been pouring in ever since. Yellowstone was named after America's longest river, the Yellowstone River.
