Description

It’s Yellowstone, the arena’s first national park. Forged by fire and ice, this is a land of contradictions, of exquisite attractiveness and stark extremes: geysers spew and hot springs boil – bearing witness to the molten lava an insignificant two miles under the skin – in a land of year-round frost; refined flowers bloom perilously with regards to pools belching clouds of sulfur and steam; dense forests, lush meadows, vaulted canyons, and plentiful lakes, rivers, and creeks are alive with moose, elk, deer, buffalo, ravens, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, river otters, and local trout.
Essayist and naturalist Gretel Ehrlich traverses Yellowstone on foot and on horseback. In vividly eloquent prose, she shares her experiences in Yellowstone’s wildest country, explores its diverse, seemingly incongruous attractions, and chronicles its violent, volcanic birth and dramatic, continuing transformation.
