Yellowstone's Geysers: The Story Behind the Scenery

Yellowstone National Park, located in the northwestern corner of Wyoming, is the world s first National Park. Established in 1872, it preserves unparalleled Hydrothermal features. When fur trappers in the early 1800s told tales of water rushing up from the earth, they were not believed. Today Yellowstone s geysers attract visitors from all over the world. Indeed, the existence of geysers is one of the primary reasons this area was originally set aside as our first National Park.
