Yellowstone National Park; Old Faithful and the majority of the world's geysers are preserved here. They are the main reason the park was established in 1872 as America's first national park. A mountain wilderness, home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearly intact ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone. Yellowstone is open all year, though some areas of the park are inaccessible by car in the winter.

Warning about GPS Systems! Vehicle Navigation Systems and GPS units may provide inaccurate information, sending drivers the wrong way on one-way roads, leading them to dead ends in remote areas, or sending them on roads which are closed at certain times of year. Make sure to use park road maps available at entrance stations.

Yellowstone National Park covers nearly 3,500 square miles in the northwest corner of Wyoming (3% of the park is in Montana and 1% is in Idaho).
