More Information about Yellowstone
Yellowstone National Park is a United States National Park that is located primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It is the oldest and arguably the most famous national park in the country, known for its geothermal features such as geysers and hot springs, as well as its abundant wildlife, including bears, wolves, bison, and elk.
The area now known as Yellowstone was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Crow, the Shoshone, and the Bannock. These tribes used the park’s geothermal features for medicinal and spiritual purposes, and they also hunted and fished in the area. In the early 19th century, Europeans began to explore the region, and the park’s first western visitors were members of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1806.
The geology of Yellowstone is unique, with a high concentration of geothermal features that are the result of the park being located on top of a supervolcano. This supervolcano has erupted three times in the past 2.1 million years, with the most recent eruption occurring approximately 630,000 years ago. Despite the potential for future eruptions, the geothermal activity in Yellowstone is what attracts so many visitors to the park. In 1872, Yellowstone was established as the first national park in the world, setting a precedent for the preservation of natural areas for the enjoyment of future generations.
Some of the most iconic features of Yellowstone National Park include Old Faithful, a geyser that erupts every 35-120 minutes and reaches heights of up to 184 feet, the Grand Prismatic Spring, which is the largest hot spring in the United States and has vibrant colors due to the presence of thermophilic bacteria, and the Mammoth Hot Springs, which are a series of hot springs and terraces that have formed over thousands of years. The park is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, bison, elk, and moose, which can be viewed by visitors who take part in activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
Yellowstone also has a rich history, with over 1,000 archaeological sites and historic buildings scattered throughout the park. These sites provide insight into the lives of the Native American tribes who inhabited the area, as well as early European explorers and settlers.
At Mountain Based, our Yellowstone hiking tours offer an unforgettable and immersive experience in this incredible national park. With our knowledgeable guides, quality accommodations, and award-winning adventures, you can fully appreciate the beauty and wonder of Yellowstone while creating lasting memories.
