How far from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone?
Jackson Wyoming
Jackson Hole WY is nestled between the magnificent Grand Teton Range on the west and sublime Gros Ventre Mountains to the east, the Wyoming Range on the south eastern flank, the Snake River Range on the southwestern flank and the Absaroka Mountains touching base on the north eastern corner. The Grand Tetons on the west side of the valley isn't the only breath taking geologic feature, upheavals and erosion in the Gros Ventre range on the east side of the valley have produced an interesting formation. These works of nature have created what appears to be a "Sleeping Indian," complete with mouth, nose, flowing headdress, and folded arms across the chest. With a sharp eye and a little imagination you can see the Indian on the horizon. This Valley is also home of Grand Teton National Park and is the southern gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Jackson Hole is known world-wide as the best of the old west.
What is under Yellowstone Park?
A few miles under Yellowstone is an enormous magma chamber associated with a supervolcano.
Yellowstone was established as a national park on March 1, 1872, to protect its unique wilderness features from industrial development. Isolated from most of the early settlement of the West, it is a microcosm of the Northern Rockies as they existed before the westward expansion of the US.
Yellowstone and the surrounding areas were primarily formed by volcanic events over the last million years, although glaciation during the Ice Ages also changed the landscape there. More recently it has been more shaped by geothermal activity, and by extensive water erosion of the lava flows.
Can you swim in the hot springs at Yellowstone National Park?
Many people have been killed by jumping into hot springs that are superheated above the normal boiling point of water.

Ok, generally speaking no, but there is at least one exception to the rule that we enjoyed. It was heavenly!!! "45th Parallel Bridge and Boiling River A sign north of where the road crosses the Gardner River marks the 45th parallel of latitude. It is, here in Yellowstone, roughly aligned with the Montana-Wyoming border. A little distance south of the sign, a parking area on the east side of the road is used by bathers in the "Boiling River." Bathers must walk upstream about a half mile from the parking area to the place where the footpath reaches the river. This spot is also marked by large clouds of steam, especially in cold weather. Here, a large hot spring, known as Boiling River, enters the Gardner River. The hot and the cold water mix in pools along the river's edge. Bathers are allowed in the river during daylight hours only. Bathing suits are required, and no alcoholic beverages are allowed. Boiling River is closed in the springtime due to hazardous high water and often does not reopen until mid-summer. " from nps.gov. We were there in late June and it was open.

There main source of food either dies out as well of decreased in size.
Wolves were common in the entire American West at the time Yellowstone National Park was founded. Government agencies actually paid hunters to kill wolves (and other "bad" animals) until wolves became almost extinct in the Lower 48.
The re-introduction of wild wolves into the Yellowstone Eco-system has been a total success in that humans PARTIALLY undid the destruction they unleashed on creation. The boost to winter tourism in the region, in order to see wolves in the wild, has been a HUGE economic benefit to the region -- FAR exceeding any losses due to predation by wolves.
