Earthquake Lake (aka Quake Lake) is a fascinating and unique nature formation. The area was formed due to a massive earthquake in 1959. As a result of the quake, an 80-million-ton landslide was created that dammed the Madison River, creating Earthquake Lake.
Just outside Yellowstone is a fantastic shooting range called Yellowstone Big Gun Fun. It’s an outdoor shooting range with a variety of firearms to choose from that range from modern rifles to American Civil War-era weapons. This is also a friendly environment for either newbies or seasoned hobbyists.
Those who can’t wait to see some Yellowstone wildlife should consider visiting the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.
