Yellowstone National Park: Joining The Lewis And Clark Expedition

The Yellowstone volcano is very active volcanic system which requires much observation. The geysers, mudd pots, hotsprings and steam vents are all examples of the heat from molten rock of a volcano. For many years the Yellowstone volcano could not be located. There is not obvious signs of a volcano, but scientists looked for other clues. Rhyolite is present in a location that has pinetress and many mosquitoes can be found due to the lakes that have formed. Rhyolite is a very violent eruption, due to the high silica content,  it flows slowly, like honey, and tends to pile up and form lava

Yellowstone National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in American history. Yellowstone was the first park to be protected by private investment on March 1, 1872, and the first to be put under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service in 1918, no doubt due to its unique and inspiring landscape and geothermal features. In fact, Yellowstone National Park is home to half of the world’s total hydrothermal features. These awesome attractions draw an incredible amount of visitors, an average of two to three million each year, to Yellowstone’s immense landscape. The park has a total size of 28,125 square miles, is found in three distinct states, and is considered to be one of the largest

One summer my parents informed my brother Ben and I we were going on a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I had never been so excited for anything in my life. I had a passion and love for nature, and being that Yellowstone had some of the most beautiful and interesting geological features on Earth, I knew I would have a blast. They said we would be going in a few weeks, and I literally couldn’t wait. I kept asking questions upon questions, and finally, my dad just got annoyed. “Go research it, Juliette.” He said. “The internet will know more than I do.” I took his advice and went to research Yellowstone.

Albert Bierstadt was one of the greatest landscape artists in history (Albert Bierstadt). His naturalistic landscape scenes of the unsettled American West brought about the need to preserve the land; in 1872, the United States Congress passed the Yellowstone Park Bill therefore creating the first national park in the world (Sierra Nevada). One of Albert Bierstadt more iconic paintings is titled the Sierra Nevada; it was painted in the year 1872. He uses different lines, shows incredible texture, impeccable depth, stunning colors and design in his painting the Sierra Nevada.

Daniel Boone in 1755, left his home on a military expedition, that was a part of the French and Indian War. Daniel Boone

They left from St. Charles, Missouri and began the expedition on May 21, 1804. They were called The Corps of Discovery. It took them two years, four months, and ten days to travel from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back home again. This was one of the biggest discoveries that has ever happened.

John Colter is a very special man because not much is known about him. What I do know is that in 1801 he traveled all by himself. In 1806, when the returning expedition reached what is now North Dakota, Colter parted ways with Lewis and Clark, joining up with two fur trappers from Illinois, Forrest Hancock and Joseph Dickson, on their way to the Yellowstone River.

The Lewis and Clark expedition, or Corps of Discovery, began with the Louisiana Purchase. After the Louisiana Territory was in the possession of the United States, President Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark on a trip west to learn more about the new area. The goals of the expedition were to study the Native Americans living in the area as well as the plants, animals, and land of the region. Most importantly, Jefferson wanted the expedition to find out if there was a river that connected the Pacific Ocean to the eastern states. The Corps of Discovery set out on their mission in May 1804 and traveled up the Missouri River.

John Colter's mid-life was adventurous. John Colter joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He began to trap in Tree Forks with John Potts. Potts was a trapping crew. John Colter was wounded. He was wounded when fighting with the Blackfoot. Then they led a party with the Crow

1825 in the Salt Lake Valley. John had become an American fur trader and also an explorer.

The 19th century was filled with ideas of exploration that would soon change America forever. It was a time for discovering our America, to further understand the country we knew so little about. It would take the curiosity about the unknown of a few men to change America forever. These men, Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, and William Clark, paved the way for discovery, especially in education. The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804 was a strong incentive for furthering education by constructing an establishment in botanical science and geography in northwestern America.

Lava flows of rhyolite and basalt have flowed through parts of Yellowstone as recently as 70,000 years ago. These lava flows destroyed everything in their paths while moving slowly at a rate of a few hundred feet per day, flowing months, or sometimes even several years. They are thick and cover as much as 130 square miles. They have nearly filled the Yellowstone Caldera, and spilled beyond the caldera’s border. These lava flows are responsible for forming four of the nine named plateaus in

Tom Murphy would start his day by packing up his stuff and start hiking. He would wander around until he got Hungary. Then he would eat lunch and be on his way. As he travels Yellowstone he gets to see many wonderful sights seen and praised by many. When

Yellowstone is breathtaking. The main topics are history, plants and animals,natural features, visiting and attraction, climate. Why Yellowstone is interesting is it is a supervolcano in it. Why you may want to go , and fun facts.there is that it has lots of hiking trails. It has roads in Yellowstone. There is a lot of fun things to do in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and Idaho and Montana. Wyoming has 96% of all of Yellowstone in it but Montana and Idaho share it and 3% in Montana and 1% in Idaho. Also it is bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined. Also it is the first national park in the U.S.A. and also the world.

It is amazing how some experiences stay so crisp in my memory, that if I were to close my eyes, I could almost swear that I was there right at that moment. It's as if my body can almost taste the sweet air, feel the cold, wet breeze on my skin, and recall the scent of the pine trees towering above our heads. Hiking in Payson, Arizona, after a snow storm is one of the best places I have ever visited in order to collect one of these memories. Payson is a great place to take the family dog hiking, but also you will be able to appreciate the beautiful landscape Payson has to offer, with it being conveniently located just a brief drive from the sweltering heat of the Desert Valley.
