World's Largest Collection of Geysers
It's wonderland. Old Faithful and the majority of the world's geysers are preserved here. They are the main reason the park was established in 1872 as America's first national park—an idea that spread worldwide. A mountain wildland, home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearly intact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone.

The abandoned Gold Rush town in Montana that once bustled with 100,000 prospectors now lies empty in all its ghostly glory
Once home to 10,000 hungry prospectors, each with a golden glint in their eye, these are the ruins of the town of Bannack - now a ghostly shell of its gilded past.
Founded in 1862 as the first territorial capital of Montana, the abandoned and silent town still boasts 60 structures - all of which can be explored by history lovers of the Old West.
Built along the banks of Grasshopper Creek, at its peak Bannack's Main Street had three hotels, three bakeries, three blacksmith shops, two stables, a grocery store, a restaurant, a billiard hall and of course,four saloons.

There is constant movement of pink as birds move about the lake in search of food or disturbance by predators.
