Yellowstone 🌏 🌱

#earthdayjourney 🌋 Old Faithful & The Yellowstone Sustainability Initiative We visited the iconic Old Faithful, one of the park’s most famous geysers, and learned about Yellowstone’s sustainability initiatives. The park runs on a mission to reduce waste, conserve energy, and protect wildlife. Even the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center is a model of sustainability, built with energy-efficient materials and powered by renewable energy. Watching the geyser erupt reminded us of the raw power of nature and the importance of protecting these geothermal wonders. 📍 Address: Old Faithful Visitor Center, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190 🦌 Lamar Valley – A Wildlife Haven Protected by Conservation Efforts We explored Lamar Valley, often called the “Serengeti of North America,” where we saw bison, wolves, and elk roaming freely. The park’s commitment to reintroducing species, like the gray wolf, has restored balance to the ecosystem. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was a powerful reminder of how conservation efforts can revive entire landscapes. If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, this is the place to be! 📍 Address: Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190 🍽️ Mammoth Hot Springs Dining – Sustainable Eating in the Wild We enjoyed a meal at the Mammoth Hot Springs Dining Room, where sustainability is at the heart of their menu. They focus on locally sourced ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and minimizing food waste. Even the building itself follows green design principles, reducing its environmental impact. Eating here was a great way to fuel up while supporting Yellowstone’s commitment to responsible tourism. 📍 Address: 305B Albright Ave, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190 Visiting Yellowstone wasn’t just about witnessing its natural beauty—it was about experiencing a place that leads the way in conservation and sustainability 🌏
