In northwestern Wyoming lies Yellowstone National Park. It is the oldest national park on Earth. It was designated as a protected area as early as 1872. With an area of 8,987 km², it is also one of the largest national parks. It got its name from the yellow rock found in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Since 1978, it has also been part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage. The image shows a view over the eponymous Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone towards the Lower Falls. The photo was taken on July 18, 2006, during our tour through the USA.
