The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the first large canyon on the Yellowstone River downstream from Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The canyon is approximately 24 miles long, between 800 and 1,200 ft deep. Spectacular views of the canyon, the falls and the cascade below the falls are easily observed from park overlooks.
Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. It was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to receive a name. It is a highly predictable geyser and erupts within a 90 minute to two hour period regularly. The geyser and the nearby Old Faithful Inn are part of the Old Faithful Historic District.
Always very crowded with the parking lot filling up fast.
The Old Faithful Inn is one of the grand National Park hotels built at the dawn of the NPS.
The Inn barely escaped the Great Yellowstone Fires of 1988.
Earthquake Lake is a lake in southwestern Montana. It was created after an earthquake struck on August 17, 1959, killing 28 people. US Route 287 follows the lake and offers glimpses of the effects of the earthquake and landslide, and a visitor center is just off the road. The lake is mostly within Gallatin National Forest.
Big Hole National Battlefield in Wisdom, Montana preserves a battlefield fought between the US Army and the Nez Perce Indian tribe. The Nez Perce fought a delaying action against the 7th Infantry Regiment here on August 9 and 10, 1877 as they were trying to escape to Canada. In 1992 the park was made a part of Nez Perce National Historical Park, which consists of 38 separate locations in five different states, following the flight of the Nez Perce tribe from the U.S. Cavalry.
Big Hole National Battlefield is located on 1,010.61 acres with a year-round visitor center in the park.
Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt more popularly known as Chief Joseph was the leader of the Wal-lam-wat-kain (Wallowa) band of Nez Perce in the early 1870s when they were forcibly removed by the United States federal government from their ancestral lands in the Wallowa Valley of northeastern Oregon onto a significantly reduced reservation in the Idaho Territory. Conflicts with white settlers in 1877 led to the Nez Perce War culminating in this final battle at the Big Hole.
Trails lead off from the visitor center,
leading to markers denoting sites where Joseph and others were captured or killed.
