Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park has a wide variety of biodiversity and geological features. This park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Most of Yellowstone resides in Wyoming, but somewhat spreads into Idaho and Montana as well. I visited Yellowstone a few years ago and was blown away. We were there for a couple days, and were still unable to see half of the amazing features the park has to offer. I found this park to be absolutely beautiful and so unique, which is why I'm choosing it for this project. I want to learn more about Yellowstone because I plan to revisit there one day. This park offers a variety of activities and site-seeing opportunities: waterfalls, dramatic canyons, rivers, forests, hot springs, and a variety of wildlife (bison, elk, bears, antelope, etc.).  

My goal is to visit as many National Parks as possible. So far, Yellowstone has been my favorite, which is why I am choosing this park for the project. Hopefully, by learning more about the park before revisiting, when I return I will be much more knowledgeable of the area and able to thoroughly absorb all the amazing sites.

Web Soil Survey

I have attached three photos below. The photos from the WSS are where I live. I live in Washington County in Abingdon, VA. I have provided a variety of information and I have created an area of interest by drawing a rectangle around my land (represented in the second photo), which provides a view of the slopes on the land. The data in last photo is from the area of land known as "16C." The data provides information about frequency of flooding, clay and slit percentages, elevation, annual precipitation, etc.  I found the provided YouTube video to be very helpful; however,  I struggled attempting to upload an AOI from the file and zip imports. This is my first time using WSS so it took me awhile to get the hang of how the site worked and what tools did what. This assignment was useful and I am now aware of how to locate property and asses soil data. I definitely still need more practice with this system, but I now understand the basics and how to operate the site.
