Congress passed legislation in 1872, making Yellowstone the world's first national park. It consists of 2.2 million acres; 80% forests, 15% grassland, and 5% water. 96% of the park is in Wyoming, but Montana claims 3% and Idaho 1%. The lowest elevation is 5,282 feet at Reese Creek and the highest 11,358 at Eagle Peak summit.
It is true that Bison are everywhere. Whether the herd is crossing the road, walking in the middle or the side of the road, you know by the slow pace that this is their park and we definitely are visitors!
