Did you know that it gets its name from the Yellowstone River that runs through it? The Minnetaree Tribe called it Mi-Tse-A-Da-Zi which translates to “yellow rock river” This is due to its high concentration of sulfur dioxide from its geothermal activity.

Yellowstone is one of the most awe-inspiring places to experience on earth.
I’m glad I did not know what to expect when we visited the first time in 2005.
We were astonished by the biological diversity. We have visited 3 times now.
In 2021, we saw a gray wolf sauntering along, and experienced 12” of snow in May.
Fox, pronghorn, bison with babies, bear,
And an occasional moose. We stay in the town of West Yellowstone. A quaint place with good restaurants. Visit the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. The entrance to Yellowstone is about a mile from there.
A fascinating place Yellowstone!
