About this word search
Yellowstone was established in 1872 as the first national park in the United States, and it is often called the first in the world. Old Faithful, the geyser that erupts there on a fairly regular schedule, is one of the best known sights in the park system.
The search covers rows, columns and diagonals, and no word is reversed. Junior ranger and Visitor center are long, run together without spaces, and easy to spot once the first few letters appear. Yosemite and Yellowstone both begin with Y, an uncommon starting letter.
On a road trip, the puzzle is good company in the back seat. Afterward, ask which park everyone would most like to visit next.
