It is home to about 330 geysers (about 53% of the world's total) and thousands of other thermal features. With the reintroduction of the wolf in 1995, it has all of the wildlife historically found in the west, often in great numbers, including the largest wild bison herd in the world. It is part of the 18-million acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest intact temperate ecosystem in the world. It is one of largest, most active, and potentially one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. It includes the most remote location in the lower 48 states. It is the world's first national park, and the catalyst for the modern conservation movement. And it is strikingly beautiful.
