Quote
"The Yellowstone Park is something absolutely unique in the world, so far as I know. The lakes, the mountains, the canyons, and cataracts unite to make this region something not wholly to be paralleled elsewhere on the globe. Here all the wild creatures of the old days are being preserved."
- Theodore Roosevelt
