Yellowstone is the first national park in the world, as well as the largest of all national parks in North America. For almost 150 years of its existence, it has been visited by millions of people. The park is known all over the world for its geysers — there are about three thousand of them, or two-thirds of the total number of all geysers on the planet. Yellowstone is the owner of a unique flora and fauna. Numerous tourists are attracted to the park by hundreds of thousands of species of wild animals, waterfalls, lakes, hot springs and incredibly beautiful views.
