America's Great Outdoors

Located in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, it is home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world’s most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.Pictured above is Old Faithful erupting, which is from Ansel Adams series of photos of National Parks and Monuments taken from 1933-1942. Photo: Ansel Adams, U.S. National Archives
