Story
Yellowstone is a land of extreme diversity. Nowhere else will you find wolves, bison, and grizzlies living among the largest concentration of hot springs and geysers in the world. The park’s 2.2 million acres is an incongruous landscape of bubbling hot, lunar-like geothermal features, lush green rolling meadowlands, snow covered mountain peaks, colorful canyons, waterfalls, lakes and untamed rivers. It is a park so large, so complex and so fascinating it seems fitting that it owns the title as our world’s first national park! Travel Audios’ park approved audio tour will help you understand what you are seeing and smelling! It is not a mile-by-mile guide; it can be listened to anywhere. It features an impressive group of knowledgeable Park Ranger geologists, biologists and naturalists who explain the geological processes that created the landscape and why this area in Wyoming is such a geothermal hot spot. They’ll tell you about their studies and observations of the park’s wildlife and their experience with massive forest fires.

The United States is full of natural wonders, but few rival Yellowstone National Park, which is full of features that led Native Americans to believe the land was possessed by spirits and compelled people who heard accounts from white explorers to assume the explorers had suffered hallucinations. Today, of course, all Americans are instantly familiar with the name Old Faithful, and even among those who have never visited the park, Yellowstone is practically synonymous with its geysers.

Our understanding of the American West has moved far beyond pop culture in recent years. The legendary people and events we associate with the Wild West - the last stand at the Alamo, the Battle of Little Bighorn, the exploits of Calamity Jane, the hardships of the Oregon Trail - are even more fascinating once the historical realities have been separated from the myths.

An old hermit has been killed in Utah's wildlands, and Sheriff Bud Shumway knows it's murder, even though some say it was a cougar kill. Others think it was done by a Bigfoot who has roamed the area for years, killing cattle and leaving people so traumatized that they never want to go into the wilderness again. But Sheriff Shumway can't afford to believe in Bigfoot, given the huge area he's responsible for, most of it wildlands.

The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

Publisher's Summary
Ever wish you had a local who could show you around? Someone who would steer you in the right direction without boring you to tears about how wonderful it's going to be? Someone who sees the value in letting you discover and experience things for yourself?
Welcome to the Yellow Cat Explore Series. We believe that half the fun of seeing a new place is discovering things for yourself. We’ll tell you the basics, but we won't bore you with how great our own experiences were or how amazing you're going to feel. We get you there, then let you truly discover and explore for yourself.
In this guide to Yellowstone National Park, we’ll give you the basics, but after making sure you can find your way around the park, have a place to stay, as well as food and gas (and bear spray), we’ll help you truly explore the park’s geology, history, prehistory, wildlife, plants, and people.
For example, did you know that there was a major earthquake (7.5 magnitude) near the park in 1959 and afterwards a dozen or so bears came into the Old Faithful Lodge for refuge? Servers had to walk around them to serve meals. (See the section on the Hebgen Quake.) Our guide has lots of interesting facts you won’t find elsewhere. And who else has an in-the-field expert (Bison Walker) who’s spent their entire life in the park?
Our writers, who we prefer to call guides, are people who know each national park intimately. Some are ex-rangers, some grew up in the area, and some simply fell in love with a particular park and decided to spend as much time there as possible. Our guides are exactly that, guides, people who help you see what's there through your own eyes, not theirs. In addition, they often share stories and facts that are known only by insiders.
Join us in exploring legendary Yellowstone!
