I love the outdoors, watching animals, looking at the flowers in bloom and trying to remember their names. I love listening to the sounds of nature, and breathing the fresh clean scents nature provides.
Yellowstone is my favorite because of the added animals there that are not as easy to see in other parks. I love to visit and try to do so many times a year. I am also part of a school group that try to take a group of students to Yellowstone each year. Our goals include trying to instill a love for the land, that they will want to take care of what is available to us so it may last for many generations to come.
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.
