Yellow Stone Park

yYellowstone Park.
World's Largest Collection of Geysers
It's wonderland. Old Faithful and the majority of the world's geysers are preserved here. They are the main reason the park was establishedin 1872 as America's first national park—an idea that spread worldwide. A mountain wildland, home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearlyintact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone.
Things to Do
Biking, camping, fishing, enjoying exhibits and films, and attending ranger-led programs are among the many ways to experienceYellowstone.
Stay Aware in Bear Country
* Safe travels in bear country begin before you get on the trail.
* Learning about bears before you come to the park can help you avoid aconfrontation.

Did You Know?
Even though the animals of Yellowstone seem tame they are still wild. Feeding the animals is not permitted in any way, and all visitors must keep 100 yards away from wolves andbears, and 25 yards from other animals.

Be prepared for bear country
Wildlife scientists note that there is an average of one bear attack in the park each year. In 2011, in separate incidents, twovisitors were mauled and killed by bears inside the park.
Hiking in bear country takes appropriate preparation. Before you set out, be sure to learn and think through fully what you need to do if youever encounter a bear unexpectedly. While some insights and advice are offered here, deeper and more detailed resources are available at visitor centers-where public bear spray demonstrations will beoffered in summer ranger programs-and on the park website.
