Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone is the first

Forest in the world. It
is home to numerous
geysers and hot
springs, famous for its
grizzly bears, bison
and elk, and has a
large supply of the
mineral obsidian, used
by Native Americans
in making arrowheads.
Old Faithful, a geyser, is an
eruption of hot water and steam
arising from the ground. As water
slowly seeps through cracks in the
ground, it is warmed by rocks
heated from hot magma, then
returns to the surface through the
same cracks.
Old Faithful
Rocky Mountains
The Rocky Mountains were a sacred home to many
Native American tribes, including the Sioux Indians,
where they often lived in the spring and summer.
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

named them after what they perceived to be unfair trading practices.
The Indians call themselves The Discovered People.
