Yellowstone National Park
America's first, and perhaps, greatest National Park. This is the park that set the global standard for what a National Park should be. After a lot of exploration, President Ulysses S. Grant signed into law the first National Park of any nation on March 1, 1872. While President Grant's administration may be marred by corruption and scandal, Grant gains little noteriety or credit for his role in this historic occassion, which is well deserved.
Norris Geyser Basin Museum
The emphasis of this location is on geysers and how they work. Many displays in the area show how pressure builds causing the erruption of the geysers from underground.

Closed during winter months.
