Did You Know?
World's First National Park
Yellowstone was established on March 1, 1872, by President Ulysses S. Grant, making it the first national park in the United States and widely considered the first in the world.
Home to Half the World's Geysers
The park boasts over 10,000 geothermal features, including more than 500 active geysers, which is roughly half of all the geysers on Earth.
Sitting on a Supervolcano
Yellowstone is located atop one of the world's largest active supervolcanoes. Its massive magma chamber fuels the park's famous geysers and hot springs.
Iconic Geyser
Old Faithful is one of Yellowstone's most famous geysers, erupting approximately every 60-110 minutes, consistently shooting water and steam up to 185 feet (56 meters) into the air.
