Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Yellowstone: the Premier Park. Yellowstone, the world’s first national park, may be the most famous and the best--it is an incredible wonderland of geology and biology. It is located on the territory of three states: Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. This picture shows Monument Geyser, in the Upper Geyser Basin.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Yellowstone was the world’s first national park, which was established in The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River, shown here, are one of the icons of the national parks.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Yellowstone has more than half of the world’s geysers, including Old Faithful, here.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Many interesting and important things can be found in Yellowstone. These are mats of microbes living in the hot runoff from a spring near Old Faithful. Biological industries are based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is based on a Yellowstone microbe.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Runoff from hot springs often forms terraces. Hot-water-loving microbes colonize the surfaces, with bugs of different colours preferring water of different temperatures. These terraces in Midway Geyser Basin are classic.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Here is the Grand Prismatic Spring. Rainwater and snowmelt moving down through cracks in the rocks are warmed by the volcanic heat of the Yellowstone Hot Spot, and then rise to the surface in springs as well as geysers.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Yellowstone is known for its wildlife. A lot of mountain lions, elks, wolves, coyotes and bison live there. Here, the tracks of a mountain lion show white where the animal broke the bacterial mat. Lions are four-toed, but often put their hind feet where their front feet were, complicating the appearance of the tracks, as seen here.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Yellowstone now has a healthy population of wolves, and many coyotes, including the one that made the track shown here. The national parks were usually established for geological reasons. Now that humans are using so much of the country and the world, the parks are becoming islands of nature in a human-dominated world.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 Bison (or, informally, buffalo) once thundered across the Great Plains of the U.S. in uncounted numbers. Uncontrolled shooting nearly exterminated the bison, but those protected in Yellowstone persisted and helped preserve the species. Here are bison tracks, in the same spring deposit.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 And, here are the bison, just down the road along the river.

Unit 1 - Yellowstone - Our First National Park Geosc. 10 And here is a bison jam. This picture was taken in September, after the crowds had returned home; in midsummer, this really would have been a traffic jam.
