Yellowstone National Park
|
 March 1st 1872 marked the establishment of the world's first National Park. Within this gem are many unique features that attract visitors from all corners of our global village. Hot springs number over 10,000 and scientist believe this represents a majority of the planet's total. Geothermal activity in this region indicates a large active volcano, whose last eruption left a caldera that encompasses half of the park. Yellowstone is home to grizzly bears, bison, elk and the returning wolf. These creatures of wonder have one of the largest intact temperate zone ecosystems to roam and live a free life as nature intended. The return of the wolf to Yellowstone also marks one of the most successful species reintroduction's, and even though there continues to be a small minority of dissenters backed by Oil and Timber giants in the guise as the Farm Bureau, the public has been supportive and remains the key to their future. Yellowstone received World Heritage Site status on September 8th, 1978 and continue to awe all visitors who are drawn to the beauty.
