Yellowstone National Park
Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone National Park is one of the most amazing places on the planet, and is indeed one of America's most famous icons. Created in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is the world's first national park. And to put this in perspective, Yellowstone Park was created 4 years before Custer's Last Stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn! This magical wonderland sprawls over 2 million acres in the Great American West, and is one of America's most valued treasures.
