Alaska is often called the last frontier: vast mountain ranges, grizzly bears hunting salmon, and mighty moose roaming through an endless wilderness.

Few places are as special as Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park, the world's first National Park, a wilderness jewel of vast forests and wide open valleys, home to large bison herds, wolf packs and grizzly bears.
