Yellowstone National Park





We met Jacob today and he told us the wonderful story of Yellowstone! It was great! He also showed us around the park... what a place!!

Did you know that this was the first National Park in the world? What an amazing place with so much to see! We could spend a week here!

Yellowstone National Park, set aside as a national park on March 1, 1872, is located mostly in the U.S. state of Wyoming, though it also extends into Montana and Idaho. The park was the first of its kind, and is known for its wildlife and geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular areas in the park.
