National Parks are not discovered, they are established after they are known. However, I think you are thinking of John Colter, a member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition (1804-1806) that turned back upstream as the Expedition was returning to St. Louis. Colter "discovered" the area that was set aside as Yellowstone National Park 66 years later.
John Colter was a private in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which took place from 1804 to 1806. He later became known for his explorations in the American West, particularly in the areas that would become Yellowstone National Park. His contributions as a mountain man and fur trapper were significant, but he did not hold a military rank beyond that of private during his time with the expedition.
John Colter (a member of Lewis and Clark expedition), was the first person to describe the region in 1807. He filled in about the Yellowstone area but his reports were labeled as fictional and it was not until 1868 exploration of Jim Bridger, that the area was made known.

Francois and Louis Verendrye are believed to be the first Europeans to explore Wyoming in 1743. John Colter explored Wyoming in 1807, including the area which would become Yellowstone National Park.
John Colter was a member of the famous Lewis & Clark expedition. He left the group in the summer of 1806 to become a fur trapper. He became one of the first (if not THE first) Mountain men, and is widely thought to be the first white explorer to set foot in what has become Yellowstone National Park.
