Destination
Yellowstone boasts one of the largest ecosystems in the world, and is known for its diverse geothermal features, of which the Old Faithful geyser and the colorful Grand Prismatic Spring are key examples. For over 10,000 years, prior to Yellowstone’s designation as a national park, many Indigenous groups hunted, fished, gathered plants, quarried obsidian, and used the thermal waters for religious and medicinal purposes. Twenty-seven Native American tribes have historic and present day connections to the land and resources found within the park.
As a national park, Yellowstone is a destination for spotting wildlife, hiking, and outdoor exploration.
Bozeman is a small but lively western town of about 45,000 people. With an elevation of almost 5,000 feet and surrounded by several mountain ranges, Bozeman is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and home to Montana’s largest university, Montana State University.
