Best Answer

It all began in the summer of 1806, when a valued member of the Lewis & Clark team broke away from the esteemed explorers to become a fur trapper. John Colter came to be known as the prototypical mountain man and is thought to be the first white explorer to set foot in what is now Yellowstone National Park. He left Lewis and Clark on good terms, which was fortunate because otherwise few would have believed Colter's descriptions of geyser eruptions, sulfurous air and hot bubbling pools of water and mud.
