Established in 1872, Yellowstone is known for its wildlife, geysers, hot springs and volcano. The park is located mostly in the northwest corner of Wyoming, but portions of it extend into parts of Idaho and Montana. In total, the park spans nearly 3,500 miles – making it the largest national park in the United States. Hundreds of animal species have been documented within the park, including some species that are considered endangered or threatened. And approximately half of the world’s hydrothermal features are in the park. This national park is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts because it offers numerous opportunities for recreation. There are more than 1,000 trails for hiking. Boating is allowed on most of Yellowstone Lake and Lewis Lake.
For those who want to go fishing, you can cast your line for more than a dozen species of fish. There are also guided tours, ranger-led activities and more. To get to the park’s South Entrance, you will have to go through Grand Teton National Park, which is a 26-mile long national park known for the breathtaking Grand Teton Mountain Range.
