Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. Approximately 96 percent of the land area of Yellowstone National Park is located within the state of Wyoming. Another three percent is within Montana, with the remaining one percent in Idaho. The park is (63 mi; 101 km) north to south, and (54 mi; 87 km) west to east by air. Yellowstone is 2,219,789 acres (898,317 ha; 3,468 sq mi; 8,983 km²), comprising canyons, lakes, rivers and mountain ranges. Forests comprise 80 percent of the land area of the park; most of the rest is grassland. Lakes rivers cover five percent of the land area, with the largest water body being Yellowstone Lake at 87,040 acres (35,224 ha; 136 sq mi; 352 km²). Yellowstone Lake is up to (400 ft; 120 m) deep and has (110 mi; 180 km) of shoreline. At an elevation of (7,733 ft; 2,357 m) above sea level, Yellowstone Lake is the largest high elevation lake in North America.
The park sits on the Yellowstone Plateau, at an average elevation of (8,000 ft; 2,400 m) above sea level. The plateau is bounded on nearly all sides by mountain ranges of the Middle Rocky Mountains, which range from (9,000 to 11,000 ft; 2,700 to 3,400 m) in elevation. The highest point in the park is atop Eagle Peak (11,358 ft; 3,462 m) and the lowest is along Reese Creek (5,282 ft; 1,610 m). The most prominent summit on the Yellowstone Plateau is Mount Washburn at (10,243 ft; 3,122 m). The park contains 290 waterfalls of at least (15 ft; 4.6 m), the highest being the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River at (308 ft; 94 m).
Yellowstone National Park is the centerpiece of the 20 million acres (8,093,712 ha; 31,250 sq mi; 80,937 km²) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a region that includes Grand Teton National Park, adjacent National Forests and expansive wilderness areas in those forests. The ecosystem is the largest remaining continuous stretch of mostly undeveloped pristine land in the contiguous United States, considered the world's largest intact ecosystem in the northern temperate zone.
Over 1,700 species of trees and other vascular plants are native to the park. Another 170 species are considered to be exotic species and are non-native. Of the eight conifer tree species documented, Lodgepole Pine forests cover 80 percent of the total forested areas. Other conifers, such as Subalpine Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir and Whitebark Pine, are found in scattered groves throughout the park.
Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles have been documented. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most finest megafauna wildlife habitat. There are almost 60 species of mammals in the park, including the timber wolf, coyote, lynx, and grizzly bears. Other large mammals include the bison, black bear, elk, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and cougar live in this park.
Hundreds of species of birds have been reported, almost half of which nest in Yellowstone. In 1999, twenty-six pairs of nesting bald eagle were documented. Extremely rare sightings of whooping cranes have been recorded, however only three examples of this species are known to live in the Rocky Mountains, out of 385 known worldwide. Other birds, considered to be species of special concern because of their rarity in Yellowstone, include the common loon, harlequin duck, osprey, peregrine falcon and the trumpeter swan.
Yellowstone ranks among the most popular national parks in the United States. The National Park Service maintains 9 visitor centers and museums and is responsible for maintenance of historical structures and many of the other 2,000 buildings. An historical and educational tour is available at Fort Yellowstone which details the history of the National Park Service and the development of the park. Campfire programs, guided walks and other interpretive presentations are available at numerous locations. The park has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. Camping is available at a dozen campgrounds with more than 2,000 campsites. Camping is also available in surrounding National Forests, as well as in Grand Teton National Park to the south. Backcountry campsites are accessible only by foot or by horseback and require a permit. There are (1,100 mi; 1,800 km) of hiking trails available.

Fort Laramie National Historic Site, Wyoming (4K/UHD)
#fortlaramie #wyoming #historicsite
Fort Laramie ist ein ehemaliger Handelsposten und späteres Armeefort am Zusammenfluss des Laramie River und des North Platte River im Südosten des US-Bundesstaates Wyoming nahe der Stadt Fort Laramie. Am 26. Juni 1849 wurde das Fort von der amerikanischen Regierung für 4000 US-Dollar erworben und als Posten der United States Army umgewandelt. Hauptaufgabe des Armeeposten war es nun, Immigranten und Siedler, die hier auf dem Oregon Trail oder California Trail unterwegs waren, vor Übergriffen der Indianer zu schützen. Fort Laramie wurde erheblich erweitert, es entstanden mehrere große Gebäude, die rund um einen großen Appellplatz angeordnet wurden. Heute gehört Fort Laramie zum 1916 gegründeten National Park Service der Vereinigten Staaten. Viele Gebäude wurden wieder hergestellt, aufwendig rekonstruiert und bis ins Detail mit Gegenständen aus der damaligen Zeit ausgestattet.
Fort Laramie is a former trading post and later army fort at the confluence of the Laramie River and the North Platte River in southeastern Wyoming near the town of Fort Laramie. On June 26, 1849, the fort was purchased by the US government for $ 4,000 and converted into a United States Army post. Main task of the army post was to protect immigrants and settlers, who were traveling here on the Oregon Trail or California Trail, from encroachments of the Indians. Fort Laramie was significantly expanded, it created several large buildings, which were arranged around a large mustering area. Today, Fort Laramie belongs to the 1916 founded National Park Service of the United States. Many buildings were restored, elaborately reconstructed and furnished in detail with objects from the time.
Buffalo Bill Comes Home
To learn more visit
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West opened in its current location in 1968. At that time it was called the Buffalo Bill Museum and was right next to the current Whitney Western Art Museum. The Center was large back then, but it still didn't have the Draper Natural History Museum, the Plains Indians Museum, or Cody Firearms Museum.
This film shows an excerpt from a film made at the opening of the new Buffalo Bill back in 1968. We found it inside of the Center's Vaults, and it's been some time since it was last seen. It will likely be brand new to most of you! The hair and dress styles alone make for a wonderful time capsule; the same goes for the timbre and tone of the omniscient Buffalo Bill narrator voice.
Did you know that there used to be a serious conflict over where William F. Cody was buried? Do you remember when it was put to rest in 1968? Was it actually put to rest? Does anyone in Wyoming still harbor resentment over the burial of Buffalo Bill in COLORADO, on Lookout Mountain? Do you have a theory that he's actually not buried there? Feel free to share.
The new Buffalo Bill Museum opened in time for the 2012 summer season. It has been fully re-imagined and re-designed. The re-installed Buffalo Bill Museum respects the traditions of the past while utilizing new interactive and multimedia exhibits with some of the latest technology. The new Buffalo Bill section will wow you, as former Senator Al Simpson said.
It has attractions that will grip and engage every member of your family, and when viewed alongside the 4 other incredible wings of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the answer is clear: this place is worth a visit. The Yellowstone Natural History wing covers all of the science and ecology that anybody ask for, to supplement a trip to Yellowstone National Park. The Plains Indian Cultures wing offers a broad and inside look at the cultures that occupied the West before White Settlers came, and it continues to the current Plains Indian Cultures that are still alive in the West. The Cody Firearms wing has a gigantic collection of firearms that will blow you away, including the impressive Winchester Arms Collection, and more. The Whitney Gallery of Western Art features the artwork of the American West from Master artists such as Remington and Russell.
Cody, WY is located just outside the East Gate to Yellowstone National Park, and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is worth the trip.

Draper Natural History Museum in the Greater Yellowstone Region
Draper Natural History Museum is one of the five museums within the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, just an hour from Yellowstone National Park. For more information about the Center, feel free to visit our website
Drawn to Yellowstone
In association with Wyoming PBS, Raechel Donahue of Wild West Productions has produced, written and directed a documentary loosely based on the Peter Hassrick book Drawn to Yellowstone, the story of how the art of Thomas Moran and the photography of William H. Jackson were used to persuade Congress to make Yellowstone into the world's first national park. Beginning with the native Americans who frequented the area, through the early expeditions in the 1800s and eventually traveling up to the present day, scholars and artists tell the story of this amazing 2.5 million acre wilderness and the incredible pull it has always held for artists of every kind.

ABOUT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK’S MADISON AND NORRIS GEYSER BASIN
Whether you are planning your visit or browsing, here are some of our favorite things to do in the Madison and Norris Geyser Basin
Visit the Madison Information Station: The Madison Information Station dates from 1929-30 and is a National Historic Landmark. Located at Madison Junction in the Madison Picnic Area, it is built from wood and stone materials. In previous years, this building has been used as a museum, has housed the Arts Yellowstone program, and has sat empty and abandoned. It began its new life as an information station and Yellowstone Association bookstore during the summer of 1995.
Explore Artists Paintpots: Artists Paintpots is a small but lovely thermal area just south of Norris Junction. A one-mile round trip trail takes visitors to colorful hot springs, two large mudpots, and through a section of forest burned in 1988. Adjacent to this area are three other off-trail, backcountry thermal areas: Sylvan Springs, Gibbon Hill Geyser Basin, and Geyser Creek Thermal area.
Visit Gibbon Falls: This 84-foot (26-meter) waterfall tumbles over remnants of the Yellowstone Caldera rim. The rock wall on the opposite side of the road from the waterfall is the inner rim of the caldera.
Hike to Monument Geyser Basin: This small, nearly dormant basin lies at the top of a very steep one-mile trail. Thermos-bottle shaped geyser cones are remnants of a much more active time.
Take a Boardwalk Tour of Terrace Springs: The small thermal area just north of Madison Junction. This area provides the visitor with a short boardwalk tour of hot springs.
Fish the Firehole River: The Firehole River starts south of Old Faithful, runs through the thermal areas northward to join the Gibbon and form the Madison River. The Firehole is world famous among anglers for its pristine beauty and healthy brown, brook, and rainbow trout.
Take a Driving Tour of Firehole Canyon and Swim in Firehole Falls: Firehole Canyon Drive, a side road, follows the Firehole River upstream from Madison Junction to just above Firehole Falls. The drive takes sightseers past 800-foot thick lava flows. Firehole Falls is a 40-foot waterfall. A swimming area is very popular in the warmest of the summer season.
Stroll on the Boardwalks at Norris Geyser Basin: Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest, oldest, and most dynamic of Yellowstone's thermal areas. The highest temperature yet recorded in any geothermal area in Yellowstone was measured in a scientific drill hole at Norris: 459°F (237°C) just 1,087 feet (326 meters) below the surface! Norris shows evidence of having had thermal features for at least 115,000 years. Steamboat Geyser, the tallest geyser in the world (300 to 400 feet) and Echinus Geyser (pH 3.5 or so) are the most popular features.
Listen to the Hissing of Roaring Mountain: Located just north of Norris on the Norris-Mammoth section of the Grand Loop Road, Roaring Mountain is a large, acidic thermal area (solfatara) that contains many steam vents (fumaroles). In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the number, size, and power of the fumaroles was much greater than today

Yellowstone Norris Geyser Basin
The Norris Geyser Basin Area has much to boast about: it is the park’s hottest and most dynamic geyser basin; the earliest recorded geyser activity is here; and it hosts 550 geothermal features including Yellowstone's tallest active geyser, Steamboat Geyser, which spouts water more than 300 feet in the air but whose eruptions may be years apart. The last eruption of this magnificent geyser took place on July 31st, 2013. You will also find the Museum of the National Park Ranger, housed in the Norris Soldier Station, one of the few remaining soldiers stations in the park, and the Norris Geyser Basin Museum.

Yellowstone Art Museum
Yellowstone Art Museum:
You may see a Claude Monet or a Frederic Remington, but the Yellowstone Art Museum's emphasis is on the art of its own time and place. With its emphasis on the art of Montana and the surrounding regions, the Yellowstone Art Museum (YAM) has become one of the country's premier regional art museums. Montana's art reflects the unique characteristics of a particular place, yet the universality of human experience gives it relevance to all. The sparsely populated, sometimes harsh environment has left its mark on the regional creative spirit. Montana's artists are independent, straightforward, and close to the land. The YAM is proud to place the spotlight on visual art in the northern Rockies region, as well as the ideas and influences that have given it distinction.
