Yellowstone, America’s first national park, is also one of its largest, the most extensive in the 48 contiguous states and the only one that extends over three states. Although parts of the park are in Montana and Idaho, most of the park’s area and all of its major attractions are in Wyoming. Yellowstone Park is a broad volcanic plateau that generally lies between 7,000 and 8,500 feet above sea level, with peaks that rise 2,000-4,000 feet above the plateau. That dry geologic description hardly begins to do the park justice, but no words really can.
Yosemite is one of America’s most famous, most popular, most scenic parks. It is spectacular, to be sure, with a staggering array of sights – majestic peaks, sheer granite walls, the well-known domes and pinnacles, waterfalls of immense height, rushing rivers, huge trees, forests and more. Only Yellowstone and possibly Olympic National Park have a diversity of sights comparable to what you will discover at Yosemite.
