Yellowstone National Park, primarily located in Wyoming with sections extending into Montana and Idaho, holds the distinction of being the first national park in the United States and is widely considered the first in the world, established on March 1, 1872. This vast wilderness, spanning 3,472 square miles, is renowned for its diverse wildlife, including bison and grizzly bears, and its remarkable geothermal features, such as the iconic Old Faithful geyser. Yellowstone's unique landscape, shaped by a dormant supervolcano, and its rich human history, spanning over 11,000 years with numerous Native American tribes, have cemented its place in American culture and continue to inspire.
