Yellowstone National Park







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!

Emma showed us around the park and told us about the Jr. Ranger Program! WOW! There is no way that you can cover this park in an hour! Click here to take the quiz that Emma gave us this afternoon about Yellowstone!

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.
