On March 2, 1872 the Congress of the United States set aside Yellowstone as the first national park in the world. For visitors who pass beneath the Park’s stone archway at Gardiner, Montana, the motto of Yellowstone says it all: FOR THE ENJOYMENT AND BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE. Old Faithful Geyser and the Lower Falls of Yellowstone may be the magnets that draw people here, but the remaining geysers, bubbling pools, and steam percolating from the hot earth below are fascinating in their own right. Animal lovers from around the world visit the greater Yellowstone region each year for the opportunity to see North American wildlife. Here they find the largest free-roaming herds of bison and elk in the United States, and habitat that supports over 60 species of mammals and 260 species of birds. Yellowstone Park’s land area is 2.2 million acres of forests, meadows, and water. The lowest and highest elevations range from 5,282 ft. at Reese Creek to 11,358 ft. at Eagle Peak’s Summit. Although Yellowstone is claimed by Wyoming, small portions of the park also lie in Montana and Idaho.
