Yellowstone, America’s first national park, was established in 1872.
The Park’s mountains, canyons, grasslands, rivers and lakes cover an area of 3,468 square miles in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. There are five entrances to Yellowstone. The PSA conference hotel is located only four blocks from the West Entrance of the park in Montana. The East Entrance is 56 miles west of Cody, Wyoming. The South Entrance is in Wyoming and is 2 miles from the picturesque Grand Teton 26 mile long National Park. The North Entrance, in Gardiner can be accessed via Highway 89. The Northeast Entrance can be accessed from Highways 212 or 291 near Cooke City, Montana.
 Yellowstone Park offers limitless photo opportunities – phenomenal vistas, such as the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone River; thermal areas, geysers and hot springs, such as Old Faithful, Midway Geyser Basin, and West Thumb Geyser Basin; and a full range of North American wildlife, such as elk, bison, wolves, coyotes, bears, deer, moose, bighorn sheep, trumpeter swans and eagles. Yellowstone has over 300 geysers and about 10,000 hydrothermal features, or approximately one-half of such features in the world. |
