Most Americans dream of visiting Yellowstone Park at least once in a lifetime. The park is famous for its numerous geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles.
Old Faithful is Yellowstone's best know geyser. Seeing Old Faithful erupt and shoot million of gallons of steaming hot water hundreds of feet high is an experience long remembered.
Tourists come to see the animals. And they aren't often disappointed. Elk, buffalo, bighorn sheep, gray wolves, and grizzly bears call the Park home.
Coyotes, mountain lions and many species of birds are abundant, too.
Yellowstone Lake, in the southeastern part of the park, is a favorite of fishermen.
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is one of the most beautiful sights in the Park. The river flows through a deep gorge, cut into layers of yellow-colored rocks.
Near Canyon Village, the river cascades over the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone. The Lower Falls is a special place to stop on every Yellowstone vacation. Osprey nest in the conifers high above the river's gorge. Travel tip: Shoot lots of film here.
