The first thing to do is to identify the clauses, both independent and dependent. Remember that a clause has a subject and a verb.
The first recorded trip to the Yellowstone geysers was made in 1807 by John Colter.
In this sentence, there is one subject and one verb; therefore, it's a simple sentence.
one independent clause = simple
two independent clauses joined correctly = compound
one independent and one dependent clause = complex
two independent clauses joined correctly plus one dependent clause = compound-complex
