"World's First ..." a Yellowstone National Park Travel Page by Shihar

We did not have a whole lot of time at Yellowstone and the weather was not the most cooperative. But.. we made the most of our time and still saw some great sites.

In 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first National Park. This goes to show that people back then had a great desire to preserve the tranquility and beauty of wild natural places.

The world's best known geyser. It's eruptions can vary from 40 minutes to 126 minutes. You can determine the eruption times at the Visitor Center.

Geysers are formed by surface water seeping down into porous rock layers to be heated under pressure and then rise back up to the surface as a geyser or hot spring.

There are many geysers and hot springs to view throughout the Park. Visit Norris Basin and West Thumb if time permits.
