The very first national park (be)also one of the most famous in the world—Yellowstone, in the western USA. Nineteenth-century explorers (amaze) by what they saw in Yellowstone. Apart from the beautiful mountains, (rush) rivers, and tall waterfalls, there were geysers, which sent boiling water as high as 91 meters into the air. Then there were the hot springs, as colourful as rainbows. These explorers wanted to protect the natural (feature) of the area from development so that future generations could enjoy the area. And so, in 1872, Yellowstone was established as national park. Today, around four million people a year visit it. Many come hoping to see wildlife, is no longer as common in the American West as it once was. Everyone comes to see the geysers, (especial) Old Faithful, which sits near the centre of the park, and sends 95. 6 ℃ water up to 56 metres into the air every 44 to 125 minutes.
