4 Program (Yellowstonepark-trip.com/history) Today s program was presented by Missy Graves on her trip to Yellowstone National Park. Missy stated that she went to the park with a family group of six people. They went in December of 2015 and used a variety of means of locomotion through the park. She said that they used Bombardier vehicles which will be discontinued soon. Wintertime is when the snowmobilers use the park. Missy also mentioned that the temperature varied between 8 and 12 degrees while they were there. The screen does not allow good photos so I will use park photos from some of the things that Missy mentioned Brief History Yellowstone National Park was the first national park in the United States. It was established as a national park by congress on March 1st, 1872 to help preserve the wildlife and showcase the unique geothermic features throughout the Park. Yellowstone Park is 3,468 square miles and is comprised of lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges. Yellowstone is the perfect vacation for animal lovers with tons of wildlife - 50 mammal species, 311 bird species, 18 fish species, 6 reptile species, 4 amphibian species, and 5 endangered or threatened species to see. Below Yellowstone Lake is a super volcano causing large amounts of geothermic activity. There are more than 300 geysers throughout Yellowstone as well as hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. Some of Yellowstone's most famous and breathtaking geysers include Old Faithful and Steamboat Springs - the tallest geyser in the world. Yellowstone is celebrating its 100 th year this year. Geology Yellowstone is has the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world. The Yellowstone Caldera is the largest volcano in North America. It is classified as a super volcano. The last eruption in Yellowstone 640,000 years ago was 1,000 times larger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens. During the month of October 2009, 218 earthquakes were located in Yellowstone National Park, with the largest one measuring a magnitude of 2.5. Because of the geological activity, Yellowstone has some of the most famous geysers in the world including Old Faithful, Castle Geyser, Lion Geyser, Beehive Geyser, and Steamboat Geyser which is the tallest geyser in the world. Unfortunately, Yellowstone Park's volcano is expected to erupt again sometime in the far future. It is expected that this eruption will be devastating - 1,000 times worse than Mount St. Helens.
