Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872, holds the distinction of being the first national park in the United States and the world.

Located primarily in Wyoming, with small portions extending into Montana and Idaho, it spans over 2.2 million acres.

Famous for its geothermal features, such as the iconic Old Faithful geyser, Yellowstone also boasts diverse ecosystems and wildlife, including bison, bears, and wolves. The creation of the park set a global precedent for land conservation, preserving natural wonders for future generations while establishing the national park model used around the world.
