As the only entrance in the park with a formal gate structure, the archway is topped with the famous cross from the Congressional Act—"For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People"—symbolizing the core principles and mission of Yellowstone National Park.

West Thumb Geyser Basin, located on the shore of Yellowstone Lake, was formed 150,000 years ago by a tectonic subsidence. The combination of hot geysers and lake water creates a unique, misty landscape: the steam rising from the hot springs rises amidst the shimmering green waters of Yellowstone Lake, reflecting against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, creating a scene unlike any other hot spring area in Yellowstone. This area is essentially a bay of Yellowstone Lake, where many geysers converge. The vents display a variety of colors, some transparent green, others a dark, cement-like black. The numerous vents create a beautiful, fantastical scene.

The park isn't large, but it features giant arches made of deer antlers in the four cardinal directions. The antlers are all hard and durable, making it a shame they aren't used to make deer antler tonics. These antlers aren't from hunting; they're from the large numbers of elk that migrate from the mountains to Jackson's National Elk Sanctuary every winter. In the spring, the antlers naturally shed and are replaced, leaving behind countless treasures after the elk leave.

Established on February 26, 1929, and named after the highest peak in the Teton Mountains, Grand Teton National Park boasts a near-pristine ecosystem.
