Editorial Reviews

Yellowstone National Park is a wonderland. Located mostly in the state of Wyoming, it receives millions of travelers every year. This book explores the popular tourist attraction and explains many of its highlights. Foremost is, not surprisingly, Old Faithful Geyser. Every hour to an hour and a half, Old Faithful reliably blasts four to eight thousand gallons of boiling hot water into the air. Yellowstone has many other hot spring pools and scenic wonders such as the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone Lake. The vast area of Yellowstone National Park is also full of history, wildlife, and adventure, each of which is described in this book.
