It’s wonderland. Old Faithful and the majority of the world’s geysers are preserved here. They are the main reason that Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 as America’s first national park—an idea that spread worldwide. A mountain wildland, home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearly intact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone.

140 years ago today, Yellowstone National Park became America’s first national park. 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.
