Best Answer

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.
