Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is unlike anywhere I have ever been. I think it would be so neat to see bison, elk, bears, and other animals wondering around. It is also famous for the Old Faithful Geyser. I would be nice to visit somewhere that is so natural. The web site says be prepared to emergencies and changing weather. While that sounds a little scary, I like the idea of not being around a lot of people. It would be a great escape from our over populated cities. The picture above of the Grand Prismatic Spring. The water is different colors because as it comes out of the spring it is hot, that is seem in the deeper blue. As the water cools the color goes from green to orange. The water is colored by algae species that are temperature specific.  There is also an active super volcano called Yellowstone Caldera that is still active. Yellowstone seems to have some unbelievable wildlife and scenery that could usually not be found all together. Living in a city sometimes I forget that neat things like this still exist.
