Web Work #3 Yellowstone


The pictures that I did find were remarkable and beautiful of Yellowstone! Such "loud" colors and details in them. I also found it very interesting to learn that Yellowstone is the first national park in the world. Seems to me there would be so many others that would likely fit in that spot. And then to top it off it's also the largest national park witch includes more then 200 million acres! Wow, I didn't realize that Yellowstone National Park was so intersting to read about. Finding out that there is over 300 geyers there, and the park is considered to be an active volcano ! Scary especially if your someone whos camping around those parts! There are so many animals there as well and some of them are even threatened or endangered. Suck as the lynx, it's threated! I would of never thought a lynx was an animal that was even in the united states. ( which obviously means I don't get out enough) In addition there are numerous activities to do there, such as looking for bears, wolves, and many other animals. Why in the world would you want to search for those scary animals while your at such a great place. I would be in fact figuring out how to stay away from them ! It's also nice to to know that since most of the park is above 7,5oo feet the weather is unpredictable. If your in the area the prices aren't too exspensive. You can park your car for around $20.00 and it gives you a 7 day pass. If you go to this website:
