Comments

Tyler Montague (18), Lance Buchi (18), and Sara Hulphers (20) had gone swimming in the Firehole River on August 21, 2000.  At about 10 p.m., they decided to walk back to their cars.  They had no flashlights and were holding hands.  They thought they were jumping over a small amount of water, but it turned out to be a bank just above Cavern Spring here.  They all went into the spring.  Hulphers went in below her head while the boys were in up to their necks.  Others helped them out and they were rushed to hospitals.  Hulphers had third-degree burns over 100 percent of her body and died the next day.  Montague and Buchi suffered second- and third-degree burns over 90 percent of their bodies but somehow survived.

Grant on March 1, 1872.[5] Yellowstone, the first National Park in the U.S. and widely held to be the first national park in the world,[6] is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park.[7] It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
