Things to do in Wyoming

• Old Faithful
  Old Faithful, this marvelous cone geyser was named in 1870, in the magnificent Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, and has lived up to that name ever since. It was the first geyser to get a name in the park, and is part of the Old Faithful Historic District, along with the Old Faithful Inn that sits nearby. It was over 139 years ago that a group was traveling on the Firehole River, coming from the Kepler Cascades, and just getting into the Upper Geyser Basin; this group was called the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition. It was Nathaniel P. Langford that first wrote about this geyser they came upon in September of 1870. In his account, Langford wrote that the geyser "spouted at regular intervals nine times during our stay, the columns of boiling water being thrown from ninety to one hundred and twenty-five feet at each discharge, which lasted from fifteen to twenty minutes. We gave it the name of "Old Faithful"." During the late 1800s, the geyser was used by General Sheridan's men as a laundry, putting their garments in the crater when not spouting, and when they were shot up into the air, they were completely washed. Linen and cotton materials were cleaned okay by the action, but wool was torn apart. The ejections can release from 3700 to 8400 gallons of extremely hot water up to 106 to 185 feet into the sky, and can last from 1.5 to 5 minutes every time it spurts. The average is 145 feet, and the highest recorded ejection was 185 feet. The eruptions are anywhere from 45 minutes to 125 minutes each time she blows, and over 137,000 of these have been recorded. Harry M. Woodward was the first person to tell of a mathematical relationship between the intervals and duration of these ejections, and it is neither the tallest or biggest in the beautiful park. That distinction belongs to the Steamboat Geyser.  During the ensuing years, the length of these intervals have grown, many surmising that the effects have come from the many earthquakes that have occurred. They actually made the geyser more predictable, although completely messing up the earlier mathematical equations. Today, the geyser will eject 65 minutes after an eruption that lasts 2.5 minutes, or will be 91 minutes after eruptions that were 2.5 minutes or longer. This fact may be because it is associated with no other thermal features in the basin. During the period from 1983 until 1994, there were four probes sent down into the geyser's hole to measure temperature and pressure; as well as video devices. They went down 72 feet, and the temperature was 244 degrees Fahrenheit, and the same as that measured in 1942. The video equipment was lowered to 42 feet to watch the conduit formation and the processes that occurred.

• Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
  This grand canyon is the first big canyon that you will come upon on the Yellowstone River that is downstream of the Yellowstone Falls in the park. It is 900 feet deep, and half a mile wide, and certainly not the Grand Canyon of Arizona fame. This beautiful canyon was known to the prospectors and trappers that traveled the region, but there weren't any descriptions until the expedition of 1869 of Cook-Folsom-Peterson, and also the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition of 1870, that also noted and named "Old Faithful". Bozeman resident H.F. Richardson, also called Uncle Tom, was given a permit to run a ferry across the Yellowstone River, where today the Chittenton Bridge is located, and he could take tourists into the canyon after the lower falls, and called this Uncle Tom's Trail, in 1890. This trail is gone, but the steep stairway going down to the base of the lower falls is called Uncle Tom's Trail. The geological information is not known about the canyon, except that it was the results of erosion, rather than glaciations. Over 600,000 years ago, the Yellowstone Caldera erupted and caused a series of lava flows to cover over the region. Scientists theorize that the canyon, as well as any others in the area beforehand were the results of the caldera uplifting and faulting, which in turn let the erosion process speed up and occur. It was covered by glaciers during the following years, but no evidence has been found or seen. The canyon below the lower falls had been the site of geysers, but no one is really certain of what has happened in the region and most of it is conjecture. They are aware of the reactions of the rhyolite rocks that can be heated with hydrothermal actions, kind of like a potato baking. The inside would become soft, while the outside remained brittle or hard, but easy enough to erode, once the outer skin was punctured. This kind of activity still is happening in the basin today, with the many geysers and hot springs that are still local and active. Ken Pierce, U.S. Geological Survey geologist, believes that the last ice age, sometime around 14,000 to 18,000 years ago, the canyon became iced over and a dam was formed at the mouth. When the dams began to melt, great volumes of water were released with such force that they flooded the downstream areas with the kind of fast erosion that would occur and cause the landscape to alter. Even now, the Yellowstone River is eroding the canyon, and other areas of the park, as it meanders its way through. Because of the hydrothermal activity, the colors of the rock formations and the canyon are quite beautiful, and the rhyolite rocks in the canyon have various iron compounds in them, that will cause the rocks to change colors. Much of the canyon is oxidizing, and rusting away the walls, and the many yellows that are seen here are the results of that iron compound and not as many believe, the sulphur composition.

• Yellowstone Lake
  The Yellowstone Lake is the biggest body of water in the park, and it is also the biggest body of water in all of North America that sits above the 7000 feet mark. During the winter months, this lake can freeze up to a depth of 3 feet, except in those areas that are shallow and sit over the hot springs. The entire park and landscapes surrounding it has been home to many Native American groups since prehistoric times, and the first white man believed to have seen it was John Colter in the early 1800s, while he was trapping. In the hey day of the fur trapping years, the 1820s to 1840s, it is believed that many men came here to trap, hunt and fish. Trapper Osborne Russell wrote in his diary about his visit to the lake in 1836; "16th August- Mr. Bridger came up with the remainder of the party. 18th- The whole camp moved down the east shore of the lake through thick pines and fallen timber about eighteen miles and encamped in a small prairie. 19th- continued down the shore to the outlet about twenty miles, and encamped in a beautiful plain which extended along the northern extremity of the lake. This valley was interspersed with scattering groves of tall pines, forming shady retreats for the numerous elk and deer during the heat of the day. The lake is about 100 miles in circumference." Certainly makes you rethink about the early fur trappers and traders in this country doesn't it? Very eloquent and distinctive for a fur trapper. The lake had been known by many names, as witnessed in the journals and maps from those early times, but fur trader David Thompson and explorer William Clark called it Yellow Stone. Osborne Russell had called the lake the Yellow Stone Lake in his journal from 1834. In some of his maps, William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, called the lake Eustis and also Sublette's during those early years, but it was the 1839 map of U.S. Army topographical engineer, Washington Hood, who formally named it Yellowstone Lake.

• Upper Geyser Basin
  The upper geyser basin in the Yellowstone National Park is found some 40 miles north of the park's south entrance, and contains many geysers, including the most famous, Old Faithful. The entire region is a wealth of hydrothermal activity, and at least another 12 geysers are located here; as well as hot pools and springs. When traveling in this area, be sure to stay on the walkways that have been built for your safety and protection. Many areas may look safe, but are really only a thin layer of crust above a boiling pot of water and other minerals that will cause severe pain and damage. Throwing anything into the pools or puddles can upset the geothermal processes and stop the water from flowing naturally and cause a blockage. The geyser known as Old Faithful has become the most famous and popular, so much so that a platform was constructed to hold the crowds a safe distance from the geyser, with others in the proximity. The best route to travel is the path going from Old Faithful towards Geyser Hill, and then across the Firehole River. Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin is along the trail here, going north towards Madison, or another trail goes along the trailhead and is about a mile plus. You can visit the visitor center to find out which geysers erupt when and then plan your trek around those that you want to see. Walking along the trail that winds around Geyser Hill, you will encounter 6 geysers, a spring and a pool, with boiling hot water, and shouldn't take too long since it is only a half a mile. At the Anemone Geyser, you can watch an eruption every 7 to 15 minutes, with the pool hole slowly fill up and then overflowing with big bubbles coming to the top just before it explodes upwards to 10 feet or more. The Beehive doesn't have much action, but when it does explode upwards, it can reach heights of 180 feet or more. The Giantess Geyser goes in cycles, which can cause an eruption every half hour going up to 200 feet into the sky. Between Geyser Hill and Biscuit Basin, the trail follows along some great geysers making the journey so much more interesting and exciting. The Castle Geyser has a big cone shape that sits on old platforms, with one of the world's biggest sinter formations. The Grand Geyser will erupt up to 200 feet in the air, and is the world's tallest predictable geyser. The Giant has one of the biggest cones in the world, growing at an inch per century, making this one of the oldest known geysers in the world. One of the most enjoyable and beautiful is the Riverside Geyser shooting a gusher out and arching over the river every 6 hours. In Biscuit Basin, lying 3 miles north of Old Faithful, it got its name from the numerous biscuit shaped deposits that were encompassing the Sapphire Pool. This pool is one of the most magnificent in the park, with a bright blue color contrasting the brown and gold of the hills around, however, it did erupt in 1959, and demolished the biscuit formations that were around it. The Black Sand Basin is just a mile north of Old Faithful, and you can walk there from Daisy Geyser; with the Sunset Lake, Emerald Pool and Daisy Pool. After starting your trek at Old Faithful, the best bet is to follow the Geyser Trail which will be a 3 mile hike looping on a boardwalk that leads into Geyser Hill, past the Giantess, Grand, Grotto, Giant and Riverside arriving at the Morning Glory Pool. Then you will go back passing by the Daisy and Castle geysers; with shorter trails available. At Geyser Hill, the geysers' underground water supply comes from the same source, and when the Giantess erupts, the surrounding geysers don't erupt as often or as forceful. The Valt Geyser had been dormant until 1998, from 1988, but an earthquake caused it to become more active. This whole area is drained by the Firehole River, flat and between two lava flows that never came together. These geysers and hot springs will reach the surface because the land wasn't covered by the lava flows that occurred here many years ago, allowing water to seep into the ground from the massive amounts of snow that melts here. The area gets a lot of snow each year, and as the water percolates down into the ground, so that it is superheated, and then sometime later will erupt. These geysers spew their hot steam and water into the air because the shallow chambers cause the water pressure to increase until it gets too big and then erupts into the air through narrow pipes in the geyser's plumbing system. Much the same as a pressure cooker operates, and some geysers can explode many times up to a few hundred feet into the sky. The temperatures of the water can reach up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and is cooled off some 200 degrees when it erupts.

•  Mammoth Hot Springs
  Mammoth Hot Springs is found in the northwest corner of the park, close to Fort Yellowstone, and is on a hill that has taken many millennia to grow. As the hot water comes to the surface, with its minerals, it cools and leaves a calcium carbonate deposit that forms along the land alongside the springs. It has been estimated that over 4000 pounds of this mixture flows out of the springs every day, and it is a marvelous process to watch. The hot water comes from the Norris Geyser Basin following a fault line going through the limestone, which supplies the calcium carbonate. As the superheated water flows along the fault line, it cools just a bit before rising into the springs at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit. What has created such a beautiful sight here is the algae that grows in the warm water, and then tints the travertine rock into shades of green, orange, brown and red. The thermal processes that continue here, have made Terrace Mountain at the springs, the biggest known carbonate-deposit spring in the entire world. The most well known features here is the terraced travertine, called Minerva Terrace, that has grown over the centuries, but lately various seismic activities have caused the spring hole to move ever so slightly causing the terraces to become dry. These terraces go all the way down the hill and across what is called the Parade Ground and then down into the Boiling River. Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hotel sit on an ancient terrace foundation, that was called the Hotel Terrace, and when construction started on the fort in 1891, there was some trepidation about building here, not knowing if the ground was thick enough to support all the structures. Some big sink holes have grown nearby and are partitioned off on the Parade Ground. The area shows some glacial remains from the Pinedale Glaciation, much of Terrace Mountain being covered by glacial till, which helps scientists date the rock formation to before the end of the Pinedale Glaciation.

• National Museum of Wildlife Art
  The Wildlife Museum is found in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and is devoted to the presentation of wildlife art. It is built on the bluff known as East Gros Ventre Butte and sits in the middle of a natural wildlife refuge. This sandstone complex is 51,000 square feet, and looks out over the National Elk Refuge, with magnificent galleries that include the Carl Rungius, John Clymer and Bison galleries. It began in 1987, in the town square, and was first called the Wildlife of the American West Museum, opening the huge complex in 1994. It dedicated a new huge sculpture called the Wapita Trail, with 5 elk and created by Bart Walker in 2007. In 2008, it was officially named the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States, by then President George W. Bush. There are 14 galleries all told in the museum, with 6 showcasing the many topics that relate to the permanent collection. Many temporaries have come here and will continue that focus on the American West, nature and the wildlife. The Wapiti Gallery showcases the Power of this Place, with many beautiful works of art that exhibit the wildlife and landscapes that can be found in the region. The Greene Pathways Gallery gives a wonderful outline of the wildlife that has been shown in European and American art and includes such works as the Peaceable Kingdom by Edward Hicks, Tiger Observing Cranes by Jean-Leon Gerome, the Deer Pass by Edwin Landseer, and other notable artists like Carl Rungius, Richard Friese, Wilhem Kuhnert and Bruno Liljefors. In the JKM gallery, works are grouped thematically, with works by Charles Russell, Antoine-Louis Barye, Edward Kemeys, George Catlin, Georgia O'Keefe, Rosa Bonheur, Ken Carlson, Bob Kuhn and Albert Bierstadt. The Rungius gallery contains the biggest collection of art by Carl Rungius, presumed to be the best painter of North American wildlife. Carl started painting in Wyoming, and later was in Alberta, Canada, painting the Rockies and the incredible moose, bighorn sheep, grizzly bears and mountain goats. In the American Bison Gallery, shows the many changes that have happened to the bison since the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries; rotating throughout the year so that new pieces are always on view. The John Clymer studio was given in 1991, that is a copy of his Jackson Hole studio, and includes his costumes, reference books, studio props and 200 artifacts that he collected during his lifetime.

• Lower Yellowstone River Falls
  The Yellowstone Falls includes two huge waterfalls on the Yellowstone River, in the Yellowstone National Park, of Wyoming. The river goes north from Yellowstone Lake into Hayden Valley, where it explodes out over the Upper Yellowstone Falls, and then a quarter mile further down, it goes over the lower falls, into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, some 1000 feet down. The lower falls are over 300 feet from top to bottom, and twice as high as the Niagara Falls, but only 70 feet across. These falls descend from the Canyon Rhyolite lava flow that is over 590,000 years old, and they are the biggest volume of waterfalls in the Rocky Mountains. Many believe that Jim Bridger was the first white man to view the falls, in 1846, with the Folsom Party explorers. This group was sanctioned by the US government and named the falls in 1869. Earliest images of the falls was a drawing by Private Charles Moore, who was part of the escort by the US army for the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition that was exploring the area in 1870. In the Hayden Expedition of 1871, Frank J. Haynes and William Henry Jackson photographed the falls, and Thomas Moran painted them later on. The Canyon loop road goes along the west side of the canyon, with many parking areas, and one trail will take you down to the brink of the falls, and a third of a mile steep decline. You can see them also by going down some attached stairs on the east side.

• Steamboat Geyser
  This magnificent geyser is located in Norris Geyser Basin, Wyoming, and is the biggest active geyser in the world. In main eruptions, the geyser will send water up to 300 feet into the sky. These eruptions can last anywhere from 3 to 40 minutes, that are followed up by huge jets of steam. It isn't predictable like so many other geysers, and has been erupting anywhere from 4 days to fifty years. It was dormant like that from 1911 until 1961, with small eruptions occurring and spewing upwards of 10 to 15 feet. Sometimes, the geyser sends up steam for as much as 48 hours after a main eruption, causing the nearby Cistern Spring to dry up for a few days. Since May of 2005, the past eight eruptions have happened on October 12, 1991, May 2, 2000, April 2, 2002, September 13, 2002, March 26, 2003, April 27, 2003, October 22, 2003, and May 23, 2005. There are two vents, about 7 feet apart, and it is 7598 feet above sea level.

There are numerous businesses located in the park, and these are the Hot Springs County Memorial Hospital, Wyoming Pioneer Home which is a state-run assisted living complex, the Plaza Hotel, the Tepee Pools, a private water park, the Gottsche Rehabilitation Center, Holiday Inn and Star Plunge, another private water park. A managed herd of buffalo is housed here, with a foot suspension bridge going across the Big Horn River, a petroglyph area called Legend Rock and 25 miles from the park, the State Bath House, a primitive boat ramp, flower gardens and picnic shelter. Over 8000 gallons of hot water, 135 degrees Fahrenheit, go over the terraces each day, and there is a free bath house where you can sit in relatively warm water, 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and 6.2 miles of gorgeous trails. There you can find comfort stations, a few boat docks, Volksmarch trails and fishing. The bath house rents towels and bathing suits, but otherwise doesn't cost anything. The buffalo herd is the central one for the state, and in late fall or early winter, you can watch as the herd is given a daily vitamin supplement to make sure they are in good health. The foot bridge that goes across the Big Horn River is often called the swinging bridge, and you will get some awesome views of the area from right here.

• Wyoming Sports
  All the sports teams at the University of Wyoming receive the Cowboys name for men and the Cowgirls name for women. It is a member of the Mountain West Conference, and plays in the NCAA division 1 league. This conference is the youngest of the college athletic conferences, that play in the division 1 league, starting in 1999. The Cowboys have yet to win a division championship, but have played in a few conference bowl games, including this year's conference game in . The team had two leaders in the defensive side of the game, Brian Hendricks and Chris Prosinski. The team has tied for the most field goals, with TCU, with 14 out of 17 attempted being completed, was second in the most punts, with 78 tries and punting for the highest number of yardage with 3387. They were second for the biggest turnovers, with 7 altogether. In on-side kicks, they were successful with the only try at this they did.
