Spectacular Yellowstone
and Grand Teton National
Parks captures the breathtaking
landscape and wildlife of
one of America’s most
renowned regions. More than
275 photographs—from
some of the country's best
nature photographers—recreate
the adventure and grandeur
of this area that combines
the world's greatest collection
of geothermal features, some
of the West's most spectacular
mountains and its best wildlife
viewing areas.
This unique
large-format book offers
guided tours—in words
and pictures—of Yellowstone
and Grand Teton, with thirty-six
pages of foldouts, each more
than three feet wide, designed
to illustrate the wide-open
expanse of these national
park gems. Yellowstone was
set aside as America's first
national park in 1872. Since
then, interest in the park
has grown dramatically and
today, more than 3 million
people visit the two parks
annually. Grand Teton National
Park, home of the majestic
mountain range, was preserved
as a national park in 1929.
This book offers stunning
photographs of every corner
of the 2.2 million acres
that make up these parks,
including such treasures
as Lake Yellowstone, the
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
River, and the world's most
famous geyser, Old Faithful,
as well as rainbow-colored
geyser basins of the north
Mammoth country, and herds
of buffalo and elk on the
wide plains of the Lamar
Valley. Sit back and behold
the beauty of the Grand Tetons
at sunset, the breathtaking
vistas over the Snake River,
or the refreshing waterfalls
off the Bechler River trail.
Whether it’s boating
on Jackson Lake or a hike
around Grand Prismatic Spring
that you desire, this book
takes you
deep into the parks' many
gorgeous landscapes in every
season of the year.
