Prologue

On one of my many cross-country trips in the early 1980s, I took a considerable detour off of Interstate 80 and spent a few hours touring around Grand Teton National Park, just south of Yellowstone National Park. I knew that I didn’t have time to do Yellowstone justice, so I skipped it and vowed I would return at some point in the future.

Now, about 35 years later, I’ve made good on that promise. (Better late than never!)

Going into the trip, I was both excited and a little apprehensive. Excited because it was someplace new for me; apprehensive because I wasn’t sure that it was going to offer the sort of things that really appeal to me.
