ReplyDeleteNice sharing friend. These places are the most famous and major tourist attraction in USA. I visit in Yellowstone Natioanl park through the yellowstone bus tour. The Yellowstone National Park was the world’s first national park, set aside in 1872 to preserve the vast number of geysers and hot springs, as well as to protect the incredible wildlife and rugged beauty of the area. The most famous geyser in the park is Old Faithful Geyser which erupts every 91 minutes. Yellowstone is also home to one of the finest wildlife habitats in North America. I like all the enjoyable parts of this place.
