3,000 Earthquakes Every Year

Yellowstone National Park is one of the last, nearly intact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone. In this designated World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve, approximately 1,000 - 3,000 earthquakes occur annually.

The beauty of Yellowstone will offer any tourist a dramatic and exciting trip. Visitors to the park can enjoy cycling, boating, camping, day hikes, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding and llama packing. Bear in mind, though, that you have to keep 100 yards away from wolves and bears, and 25 yards from other animals.

For the best outdoor experience in this staggering environment you can also book a guided tour and make sure you don’t miss anything: from wildlife-watching safaris to kayaking on Lake Yellowstone, winter wolf watching or a tour to discover the lesser known geysers – see what this breathtaking natural park has on the menu for you.
