Covering some 2.2 milion acres and located in the states of
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, Yellowstone was America's first
national park. The park is home to a large variety of wildlife
including grizzly bears, wolves, coyotes, bison, and elk.
Preserved within park is Old Faithful and a collection of the
world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. During the summer months the
park is very crowded. However, in winter Yellowstone experiences
heavy snows and extremely low temperatures. No doubt this is the
primary reason for it being relatively deserted during winter.
Nevertheless, it is probably at it's most beautiful during this
period.
