Yellowstone refers to Yellowstone National Park, a protected area located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. Established in 1872, it is widely recognized as the first national park in the United States, and often considered the first national park in the world. The park is renowned for its geothermal features, including the famous Old Faithful geyser, as well as diverse wildlife and stunning natural landscapes, such as canyons, rivers, and hot springs. Yellowstone sits atop a large volcanic system, and its geothermal activity attracts millions of visitors each year. The park’s unique ecosystems are home to various species, making it a vital area for conservation and research.
