Yellowstone's Natural Wonders

Yellowstone National Park preserves a unique collection of hydrothermal and geological features. This selection highlights the park's diverse landscape, from the predictable eruptions of Old Faithful and the fountain-type Great Fountain Geyser to the tiered travertine terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. The list includes massive cascades like Tower Fall and Upper Yellowstone Falls, alongside the park's highest point, Eagle Peak. Visitors can also explore the bubbling mud pots of Fountain Paint Pot and the high-altitude vistas from the summit of Mount Washburn.
