Walks in Wild Yellowstone: A Summer of Solo Backpacking in Yellowstone National Park

Walks in Wild Yellowstone is the story of four solo backpacking trips across some of the remote areas in Yellowstone National Park: Sky Rim; Hoodoo Basin; Thorofare; and Bechler. This book takes you on treks to these areas in the course of a single summer. As a vicarious traveler in the Yellowstone backcountry, you'll walk trails marked only with tracks of bears and wolves, cross mountain ranges and ford mighty rivers—the Yellowstone, Snake, and the Bechler—and experience the beauty of wild Yellowstone. Along the way, you'll explore the history, geology, and ecology of the park. When the journey is complete, you’ll have a better feel for these remote areas of Yellowstone and how they are all interconnected.
