In northwestern Wyoming lies Yellowstone National Park.

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 a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. The photo shows the travertine terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, where the water accumulated in the terraces glows in various colors. The photo was taken on July 18, 2006, during our visit to Yellowstone.
