Located between Livingston and Emigrant enroute to Yellowstone National Park, Pray is just a short drive away from one of Montana's biggest attractions. Yellowstone National Park is the world's first National Park, also the largest in the United States. Yellowstone was designated the world's first national park on March 1, 1872, with the area remaining largely in the same natural state as it was then. Yellowstone contains more than 2.2 million acres of steaming geysers, thundering waterfalls, crystalline lakes, and panoramic vistas. It is the world's most extensive area of geyser activity, harboring more than 10,000 thermal features. Yellowstone is also the greatest wildlife sanctuary in the United States, encompassing 3,472 square miles of wondrous beauty.
