It’s inscribed with the words "For the benefit and enjoyment of the people," which came from the original legislation that brought Yellowstone to fruition. [top]

Yellowstone National Park

The world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for its incredible wildlife and such amazing geothermal landmarks like Old Faithful Geyser.

Old Faithful Geyser
