Virtual Tour of Yellowstone National Park
September 14, 2022, 2:00 PM
Yellowstone National Park is the oldest national park in this country and the world. It is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest caldera in the country. The volcano is considered dormant but it still supplies half the world’s geysers.
The park is the home of hundreds of species of animals. Grizzlies, black bears, wolves, bison and elk being the largest examples. Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, camping, hiking, boating, fishing, and sightseeing.
Issues affecting the park and its guests include global warming, invasive plants and animals, hydrothermal explosions and hot springs, large earthquakes, weather changes, contact with large animals, and fatal falls.
