Introductory Page

Hello fellow readers and bloggers, I am Page Carpenter! Throughout the semester I will be analyzing Yellowstone National Park as a physical geographer. Yellowstone National Park covers more than two million acres! With such a vast terrain I will be focusing on Yellowstone's Caldera as my chosen site.

There are two main reasons why I chose Yellowstone: the unique geological and zoological aspect of Yellowstone and it is the first national park in the world. By choosing an icon of treasured landscapes I will research the fine details about Yellowstone's forms and processes to expand the existing knowledge of the park. My family and I explored the wonders of Yellowstone for the first time last summer. With the aid of this blog my next adventure in Yellowstone will be more insightful and enriching!
