Yellowstone Park is a paradise for wildlife. This is the most animal-intensive trip I have seen. Every day, there are surprises everywhere. Especially in the north, lamar valley driving by car is basically a few kilometers away. There will be opportunities for long guns and short guns to capture wonderful moments.
Yellowstone National Park is the largest and earliest national park in the United States and the first national park in the world. The park covers an area of 9,000 square kilometers, mostly open igneous plateau terrain. The park is one of the largest craters in the world and it has one of the largest forests in the world. There are more than 10,000 hot springs and more than 300 geysers. It has more than 290 waterfalls. The park has Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone River, Canyon, Waterfalls and Hot Springs, and is a famous tourist attraction. Colorful pool, also known as the Great Prism Hot Spring, is the first and third largest hot spring in the United States, with a width of 75-91 meters and a depth of 49 meters, and about 2,000 liters of 71 degrees of hot water per minute. The amazing thing about the Great Prism Hot Spring is that the color of the lake will change with the season. In spring, the lake changed from emerald green to golden orange red, which is due to microorganisms such as algae and pigment-containing bacteria living in mineral-rich water bodies. The proportion of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies will change with the season. The water also shows different colors.
美国黄石国家公园,世界第一个国家公园,六七千平方公里,气候、动植物、地形地貌的多样性,都是全球独一无二。据本人观察,欧美一般是这样,自然的国家的遗产遗迹,属于全体国民,不收费或少收费,私营的景点,按市场化运营,比如日本富士山不收费,自由女神像也不收费。尼亚加拉大瀑布,老远就能听闻到,完全没有阻挡,只是下到瀑布底层水面,坐观光游览船收费,要提前预约!
美国的黄石国家公园是比较早设立的国家级的保护区,现在是世界最著名的国家公园,在大提顿县,我们在去公园的路上还见到年前森林火灾的痕迹。
