***Newly Updated in 2025*** In 1872, Yellowstone National Park became the world’s first national park. Since then, the sights of Yellowstone have awed and inspired generations. From Old Faithful to its renowned wildlife, nowhere else in the world equals Yellowstone for natural marvels. But it is not just nature that makes Yellowstone a special place. The park has a fascinating history from ancient times until the modern-day. Let this edition of 101 Travel Bits™ be your guide to the unparalleled wonders of Yellowstone National Park. 101 Travel Bits are not your typical guidebooks. In fact, they aren’t guidebooks at all! Each collection of 101 Travel Bits consists of 101 “bits” of information about one of the great places to visit in the world. This could be a “bit” of history, a “bit” of information on a tourist attraction, or a “bit” of something else interesting about the location. A 101 Travel Bits collection is not intended to be a guidebook to any particular location. You will not find the maps or pictures you would expect in a guidebook in any 101 Travel Bits collection. No 101 Travel Bits collection contains photographs. Instead, each book gives you information a typical guidebook ignores: history, fun facts, and interesting sights along the way. Thank you, and please enjoy this entry in the 101 Travel Bits series!
