Yellowstone
导读：黄石国家公园是世界上第一个国家公园。你了解它吗？相信读完下面的短文，你会喜欢上这座漂亮的公园。
Yellowstone is a huge park. People can reach there by air. The town is 50 miles from the entrances. There is no train nearby. There is limited bus service from some of the towns near it. The park has five entrances, and the opening time is different.

The best time to visit the park is from May to October, so it is a good idea to plan a trip during the good weather. Parts of the park are open in the winter for snow sports.
Be sure to come prepared for different weather at any time of the year. Take enough clothing, so you will be prepared for unexpected changes in temperature. Take good walking shoes and thick socks if you are going to do any hiking. You can also see the park on horseback. If you want to learn about Yellowstone, the National Park Service has many talks, films and tours to help you to understand it.
