Yellowstone Park, established in 1872, is the world's first national park, located primarily in Wyoming. Its creation was driven by explorers such as John Colter and the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition, who noted its unique geography and diverse wildlife. The park was protected to prevent commercial exploitation. It is famous for the Old Faithful geyser and its volcanic activity. Despite conservation challenges, it remains a global symbol of environmental preservation.
