GIacial times never seem far away in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. If you were to walk the streets of Chicago on a hot August day, you would have a rough time believing that 150 centuries ago the land beneath the sidewalk was covered by ice thousands of feet thick. In Grand Teton National Park, on the same August day, you can view a glacier. From the valley floor, the Teton Glacier is only 4.5 miles to the west and 7,000...

SwissEduc: Stromboli Online - Yellowstone Caldera
Yellowstone caldera is best known for its geothermal features, in particular the geysers and hot springs with an abundance colourful of heat-loving bacteria and algae. Yellowstone's volcanism is probably caused by a powerful, stationary hotspot over which the North American plate is drifting. All video footage was collected in July 2002, the photos in 1989 and 2002 by J. & P. Alean.

Ranger's Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes, A

(9 votes)Customer Review - The Bible of Yellowstone Hiking Books
We have been hiking the National Parks in the West for almost 20 years and this is the most valuable trail book I own. The information on each trail is completely accurate with respect to distances, maps, directions, etc., and the naturalist notes are very informational. We have completed 75% of the hikes in this book and have enjoyed every single one - some have even been done two or more times. The book is small enough to carry in a fanny pack. I have thrown away all of my other Yellowstone hiking books as this has become affectionately known as "The Bible".

Scenic Driving Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, 2nd (Scenic Driving Series)
Customer Rating:
(8 votes)Customer Review - Steer away
After reading the reviews for this book, I purchased it as I went on a quick tour through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I was very disappointed. The trips are listed from point-to-point around the Grand Loop. However, if you are driving the loop in the opposite direction, the book is very difficult to follow. It doesn't give driving distances for the points of interest. The book gives an estimated driving time from one (i.e. Mammoth to Old Faithful) to another, and mentions some points of interest along the way, but the reader is left to guess where along the drive it might be.
Be aware that the park access fees have changed since the book was printed. Other than that, I did not... -
