  • The Main Plan for This Day Was to Check out the Grand Canyon of The
    ! NORTHEAST YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK The main plan for this day was to check out the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone area, including the Brink of the Upper Falls Trail, Uncle Tom's Trail, Artist's Point, the Brink of the Lower Falls Trail, and Inspiration Point. We also checked out Tower Falls on the way to the canyon area, before it got too crowded later in the day. Unfortunately, however, as it got too crowded in the canyon area quickly, we had some time in the afternoon to check out other areas. Therefore, we also stopped at a turnout near Dunraven Pass to photograph the spectacular wildflowers on the slopes of Observation Peak, as well as at the Petrified Tree (which was jammed with tourists) near Tower-Roosevelt and the "Forces of the Northern !Range" boardwalk. Buffalo rubbing his face on a tree on the side of the road; luckily it was early in the morning, as otherwise there would have been more vehicles than just the one in front us stopped in the middle of the road blocking traffic: ! !

  • Our Cross Country Ski Brochure
    Yellowstone Expeditions Back-Country Ski Tours and the Canyon Skier's Yurt Camp in Yellowstone National Park Imagine the sensation of cross-country skiing the Yellowstone back-country, your only neighbors the bison and elk herds dotting the landscape, and the trumpeter swans and Canada geese floating on the Yellowstone River. Explore the majesty of winter in Yellowstone Park, after the summer tourists have departed and the Park has been transformed into a frozen landscape of serene beauty and mystery. This remarkable land awaits your discovery, and there is no better way to experience the wonder of Yellowstone in winter than skiing with Yellowstone Expeditions. This is What We Offer Yellowstone Expeditions has offered naturalist guided XC ski and snowshoe excursions from the Canyon Skiers Yurt Camp since 1983. Located near the Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, the Canyon Skiers Yurt Camp is designed so that our group of adventurers can explore Yellowstone's back-country, during the winter season, in relative comfort and with personal guides. Tour packages range in length from four to eight days to provide plenty of time to relax and explore the wonders of Yellowstone. Our Philosophy At Yellowstone Expeditions we believe that a large part of enjoying the outdoors is to be inquisitive about our natural surroundings. With this in mind, we strive to make each of our ski trips a relaxed and enjoyable learning experience. All of our guides are trained and knowledgeable about Yellowstone's natural and human history. We try to incorporate many learning experiences into our day to day life at camp, whether it is learning to ski better, stopping along the trail to listen to wolves or coyotes howl, digging a snow-pit to look at snow crystals on the slopes of Mt.

  • TRAILSIDE NOTES for the MOTORIST and HIKER
    DON'T HURRY THROUGH THE PARK TRAILSIDE NOTES FOR THE MOTORIST and HIKER Number Two OLD FAITHFUL TO YELLOWSTONE LAKE AND FISHING BRIDGE MUSEUM; AND FROM FISHING BRIDGE MUSEUM TO MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK THE YELLOWSTONE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM ASSOCIATION 1939 For the profitable enjoyment of Yellowstone the visitor should note the following: 1. Many times this part of the continent has been submerged. 2. During submergence layers of sediment gathered on the floor of the ocean—certain of these layers became hardened into rock. 3. After long ages these rocks slowly emerged and finally rose high above the sea level. Their folded layers we call the Rocky Mountain System. 4. During and since their period of elevation, vol­ canic activity and erosion have taken turns in modeling the landscape as we see it about us. 5. Terrific explosions have thrown out great quanti­ ties of volcanic material, (Tuff, Agglomerate, Breccia, etc.) and out of cracks and fissures molten rock has repeatedly flowed over the surface and even penetrated between the layers above mentioned and hardened into solid rock (Basalt, Rhyolite, Dacite, etc.) 6. The deeper masses of rock are still hot. 7. More recently, ice—in places several hundred feet in thickness—covered the entire area. Glaciers moved down the valleys, widened the walls and on melting left many evidences of their craftsmanship. 8. Hot water and gases rising from the—at first molten and then cooling—material on reaching the surface, gave up and are still giving up the substances held in solution, depositing them around their respective vents and thus forming terraces, cones, etc.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures, assists the NPS in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2006), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management.
