CONGRESSIONAL
FINDINGS.—The
Congress finds as follows:
(i) The core of the greater Yellow-
stone region is Yellowstone, the Nation’s
first national park.
(ii) This world-famous region of gey-
ser basins, towering mountains, abundant
wildlife, and vast forests contains the head-
waters for many of the Nation’s most fa-
mous blue-ribbon trout streams.
(iii) Small glaciers and permanent
snowfields cloak the rugged Teton and
Beartooth mountains, which contain sev-
eral peaks greater than 12,000 feet.
(iv) Diverse habitat in the region
ranges from cactus desert lowlands to arc-
tic tundra.
(v) Wildlife in the region includes the
threatened grizzly bear, the Nation’s last
wild bison herd, trumpeter swans, and
nearly 35,000 elk.
(B) DESIGNATION.—(i) In order to protect
the unique ecosystem of the greater Yellowstone
region, the areas named in the table in clause

acres as generally depicted on the maps with ti-
tles corresponding to each such area and dated
