YELLOWSTONE is without a doubt the best-known of our 21 National Parks. It is at the same time the largest, with an area of over 3,400 square miles, extending into three states-Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. But size is not Yellowstone's only claim to fame. Far from it. Within this huge area are more geysers than in all the rest of the world put together; 100 of them, large and small. Here also are more than 4,000 hot springs, mud volcanoes, bubbling pools and similar fantastic phenomena of Nature. It is this feature of Yellowstone that excites the imagination and curiosity, that makes it known and talked about the world over.
At the same time, if all these curiosities were removed from Yellowstone, it still would be worthy of being reserved as a National Park, because of its scenic beauty, and its wealth of wild-animal life. Within its area is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, famed the world over for its wild welter of nearly every conceivable shade of color. Throughout its wooded wilderness are many beautiful waterfalls, rushing rivers and majestic lakes.
Nowhere else in America is there so large an area in which wild animal and bird life are protected, and its great variety of these "native" inhabitants bears witness to its success in this respect.
Millions of dollars have been spent to build roads through Yellowstone Park, and to provide comfortable hotels and lodges, in order that the thousands of people who visit it every year may do so in comfort.
Add to all this, an ideal climate with warm sunny days and cool nights, and it is easy to understand the lure of this increasingly popular vacation land.
