On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone National Park became the world’s first national park. Today, millions visit Yellowstone to experience what makes the park so unique, from the waterfalls and wildlife, to the geysers and rich history. Yellowstone continues to be an unparalleled place of wonder and discovery. Check out 7 surprising facts about Yellowstone as we celebrate the park’s birthday: http://on.doi.gov/24zbV9d Photo of by Lawrence Rafter (www.sharetheexperience.org)

There are some moments in nature that you just can’t describe. A moment with a wolf during the silence of winter is up there as one of them for us! | Repost @yellowstonenps | It's always a treat to see a wolf in the park. Remember to keep at least 💯 yards away and never approach wildlife for a photo. Use your zoom! Thanks to @taylorthomasalbright for taking the #YellowstonePledge and encouraging others to do the same! 🙌🏻💯🐺#Yellowstone #wolf #black #blackwolf #beautiful #winter #silence #snow #YNP #nationalpark #protected #YellowstoneNationalPark #Wyoming #Montana #USA #wildlifeconservation #wildlife #wildlifephotography #conservation #nature #LamarValley #endextinction #fieldwork #KeyConservation

Lower Yellowstone Falls is a thunderous spectacle, I’d never been to Yellowstone or really knew anything about it so walking around the corner and seeing this was mind blowing. I love the rugged landscape around the river, it’s such visible proof of the amazing power water has on an area. #yellowstone #yellowstonepledge #nationalpark #waterfall #winter #water #anythingfortheshot #goexplore #sony

Standing on a Supervolcano 🌋 ********************************************* The last 'supereruption' was 630,000 years ago but many smaller eruptions have been recorded since. Today, volcanic activity is exhibited via numerous geothermal vents scattered throughout the region, including the famous Old Faithful Geyser -- the geyser in this shot is walking distance from Old Faithful. When I was there it was early October and below freezing for most of my trip. When I took this shot the steam from the surrounding geysers made the park look like a war zone. Water exploded from the land without warning and steam filled the sky -- it was awesome 😎
