The first real national park not only in the United States, but also in the world was Yellowstone in 1872. From that moment on, the governments of other countries followed the example of the Americans. It became the starting point for the creation of 58 national parks and many other conservation areas in the 27 states of the United States. The national park is located on the territory of the three states of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming at once, covering an area of about 9 thousand square meters. km. The main attractions of the park are geysers and hot springs. Under the influence of various mineral salts dissolved in water, bizarre surface shapes have formed over many millions of years: pyramids, terraces and even stalactites.
Salt deposits on the earth’s surface sparkle in the sun, and various metals that make up the salts paint them bright red and yellow. The slopes of the mountains are covered with coniferous forests, in which many rare animals feel great. Many clean picturesque rivers flowing from mountain ranges form numerous cascades of waterfalls. This place is considered a paradise for speleologists, and a large number of canyons attract extreme lovers here. Here, in the center of the dormant volcano Caldera, there is a high-mountainous Yellowstone Lake, the shores of which are frozen lava.
