Yellowstone Park is a paradise for wildlife. This is the most animal-intensive trip I have seen. Every day, there are surprises everywhere. Especially in the north, lamar valley driving by car is basically a few kilometers away. There will be opportunities for long guns and short guns to capture wonderful moments.
Yellowstone National Park is the largest and earliest national park in the United States and the first national park in the world. The park covers an area of 9,000 square kilometers, mostly open igneous plateau terrain. The park is one of the largest craters in the world and it has one of the largest forests in the world. There are more than 10,000 hot springs and more than 300 geysers. It has more than 290 waterfalls. The park has Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone River, Canyon, Waterfalls and Hot Springs, and is a famous tourist attraction. Colorful pool, also known as the Great Prism Hot Spring, is the first and third largest hot spring in the United States, with a width of 75-91 meters and a depth of 49 meters, and about 2,000 liters of 71 degrees of hot water per minute. The amazing thing about the Great Prism Hot Spring is that the color of the lake will change with the season. In spring, the lake changed from emerald green to golden orange red, which is due to microorganisms such as algae and pigment-containing bacteria living in mineral-rich water bodies. The proportion of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies will change with the season. The water also shows different colors.
Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park, 67,000 square kilometers, the diversity of climate, flora and fauna, topography and landscape, are unique in the world. According to my observation, Europe and the United States are generally like this, the heritage relics of the natural country belong to all nationals, no charge or less, private attractions, according to market operation, such as Japan Fuji Mountain does not charge, the Statue of Liberty does not charge. Niagara Falls, you can hear it all the way, there is no blockage, just go down to the bottom of the waterfall, take a sightseeing boat charge, you have to make an appointment in advance!
Yellowstone National Park in the United States was established earlier as a national protected area, and now is the world's most famous national park, and in Grand Teton County, we also see traces of forest fires years ago on the way to the park.
