Since we have traveled though out United States, and lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in my early twenties, we have been blessed with the beauty of Yellowstone and beyond. We feel that keeping our national treasures for our future generations is of great importance.
Sincerely,
Yellowstone National Park
America's first national park is named after the river that runs through it. Within the park's massive boundaries, visitors can find mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and some of the most concentrated geothermal activity in the world. The park has 60% of the world’s geysers, as well as hot springs and mud pots. It is also home to diverse wildlife with the largest concentration of mammals in the Lower 48 states, including grizzly bears, wolves, bison and elk.
State(s): Idaho Montana, Wyoming,
Established: 1872
“We have been blessed with all the natural beauty our country has to offer, and we need to do our best to preserve that beauty for future generations.”
