2010 Yellowstone National Park Commemorative
This is the 2nd coin of the America the Beautiful - 5oz
Silver Bullion Program, and is nearly an exact replica of the Yellowstone
National Park Quarter Dollar newly released in 2010! |
Wyoming is bordered on the north by Montana, on the
east by South Dakota and Nebraska, on the south by Colorado, and on the west by
Utah and Idaho. Wyoming sports the lowest population of any state and the
lowest population density of the continental 48 states.
As consistent as
the eruptions of Old Faithful, tourists from around the world have come to
Yellowstone National Park since it was established in 1872. They come during
every season to experience the natural and wild beauty of this almost
3,500-square-mile treasure.
A diverse ecosystem located primarily in
Wyoming, Yellowstone literally bubbles with excitement, showing off its
collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs. With
high-altitude lakes, rivers and waterfalls, soaring peaks and peaceful valleys,
it’s no wonder the park is one of the most popular in the United States,
drawing more than three million visitors every year.
People come to
hike, fish, camp and observe the large variety of wildlife, some endangered,
including grizzly bears and wolves and free-ranging herds of bison and
elk. |
