Yellowstone’s Geology Explained
In 2014, the Seven Natural Wonders Organization selected Yellowstone National Park as one of North America’s most amazing features. It was an easy decision – of the scientists and leaders polled, Yellowstone received the most nominations and number one votes. “It is well known across the world that Yellowstone is a unique and amazing place,” Yellowstone Spokesman Al Nash said following the announcement.
What makes Yellowstone so special? Besides being America’s first National Park, it’s the site of a massive supervolcano that sits below the earth’s crust. In addition to the famous Old Faithful geyser, Yellowstone is home to a massive canyon, waterfalls, hot springs, and diverse wildlife including black bears, elk, and American bison. Scenic Safaris’ 12-hour Yellowstone Lower Loop Tour hits the park’s major points of interest along a southern route, from Old Faithful and West Thumb’s gushing waters to the Fountain Paint Pots.
