Yellowstone National Park, located primarily in Wyoming but extending into Montana and Idaho, is one of the most iconic wilderness areas in the United States. Within this vast 2.2 million-acre preserve lies unparalleled geological wonders such as Old Faithful geyser, the Grand Prismatic Spring, and Yellowstone Lake.
