Loved it.
Does for Yellowstone what Desert Solitaire does for Arches National Money-Mint.
This is a great picture of the Wilderness of Yellowstone. The middle section, However wasn't so good.

OK read, but spent too much time talking about mammoth area and all the general issues with the Nat'l Park Service. To read this book makes you think he did not travel the park all that much beyond Mammoth and Old Faithful
the chapters on animals and mountains are ravishing. up close and personal with elk, geysers, etc. all in all, magnificent prose and an intimate view of wild landscape. his sentences are a thrill in themselves, crafted with dry wit and brilliant vocabulary. the chapters on rivers, fishing, and wilderness management politics (basically the middle third of the book) i skipped over.
I read this book before going to Yellowstone back in high school. Schullery's vivid memoir places you in the park; re-reading it only makes me long to return to Wyoming and roam wild and free as a Park Service Ranger.
