Yellowstone National Park attractions

In 1870, when members of the Washburn Expedition happened upon this Yellowstone geyser, they noted that the shape and structure of the crater resembled a castle’s tower. Since then, much of that stoic tower has gradually dissolved and eroded, although a 90‐foot-high (27-meter-high) column of boiling water still erupts with regular frequency.

If there’s one Yellowstone scene that defines the park, it’s the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone—where the Yellowstone River tumbles so mightily and so wondrously down its course, and overlooks have names like Inspiration Point, Artist Point, and Point Sublime. Commemorated in postcards, posters, and paintings, it’s an absolutely must-see for first-time visitors and Yellowstone veterans alike.
