Listen Later

Yellowstone National Park isn’t just America’s first national park — it’s the birthplace of the entire national park idea. In this episode, we’ll explore the expeditions that revealed Yellowstone’s wonders, the process that led to its protection in 1872, and the breathtaking landscapes that make it unique.

We’ll also look at how Yellowstone inspired the creation of national parks across the U.S. and around the world, shaping global conservation. From geysers and wildlife to Hollywood appearances, Yellowstone’s story is about much more than nature — it’s about preserving heritage for future generations.
