| Description: | Select Guide Rating Featuring 150 of Mangelsen’s most iconic photos that capture the majesty of all the seasons in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—the most dramatic vistas, and all of the magnificent wildlife. Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s first national park and sits at the heart of the only remaining region in the Lower 48 states that contains all of the free-roaming, iconic mammals on the continent: wolves, elk, bison, grizzlies, and countless species of birds. This is North America’s equivalent of the African Serengeti. For the park’s 150th anniversary, Mangelsen has opened his vault of stunning photographs from every corner of the 2.2 million acres that make up Yellowstone and the adjacent Grand Teton. Visit such awesome national treasures as Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful, the Snake and Yellowstone Rivers, and the wide plains of the Lamar Valley. Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America s first national park and a global destination. To this day, Yellowstone remains one of the world s most popular destinations. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem spans almost 3,500 miles, and extends into parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, also making it one of the largest national parks in the United States. Grand Teton National Park, home of the majestic mountain range, was preserved as a national park in 1929. Since then, interest in the neighbour parks has grown dramatically, and today more than seven million people visit the two parks annually. 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, Old Faithful, and the Snake and Yellowstone Rivers, as well as the wide plains of the Lamar Valley North America s equivalent of the African Serengeti. Yellowstone sits at the heart of the only bioregion in the Lower 48 states that still contains all of the free-roaming mammals that were present before the arrival of Europeans on the North American continent: wolves, elk, bison, grizzlies, and countless species of birds. For years, Thomas D. Mangelsen has been asked why he had never devoted a book singularly to Yellowstone and his reply was always, I am waiting for the right moment, and I want a collection worthy of Yellowstone s celebration. With Seasons of Yellowstone, the moment has arrived. |
