    Yellowstone, the first national park in the world, indeed has some unique geological and ecological features.  Though Taiwan also has some volcano activities like hot springs, here has geysers, very colorful hot springs, and other geothermal features. Comparing to other national parks I have visited, the "road/area" ratio (too engineering, huh?) is very low, which really helps to preserve the nature environments and to leave enough spaces for big mammals.  We saw lots of buffalos, elks, deer, coyotes,..., even grizzly bears twice and black bear once (with a baby bear).
