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.
