National Geographic Park Profiles: Yellowstone Country: Over 100 Full-Color Photographs, plus Detailed Maps, and Firsthand Information

by Seymour L. Fishbein

Yellowstone Country tours the stunning region that includes Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, a mosaic of national forests, wilderness areas and wildlife refuges, countless waterfalls and hot springs, and two-thirds of the world’s active geysers. A challenging ascent of 13,770-foot Grand Teton is detailed, as well as encounters with loggers, hunters, miners, and hikers. Yellowstone National Park, the oldest in the world (established in 1872), forms the core of this vast area. The book explores its fabled past, roams its idyllic backcountry, and celebrates its rich, vital and wild ecosystem.

Beautiful photos in this book. Wasn’t wild about the text. First person touring. Too rambling for me. I did like the way it’s split into 4 sections; 1 for each season.

The four-star rating goes to the photographs.
