Between the towering horns of the Teton Range and the hot geyser blasts of Yellowstone's Old Faithful there's a lot of superb nature and wildlife to enjoy. While the hordes are lining up for a geyser photo op, you could be watching rare trumpeter swans, bald eagles, a buffalo, a lazy moose or two. Ed Lawrence summarized the best thermal displays (there's more than just Old Faithful), best day hikes, and best backcountry trails, where to camp, see the sunrise, take a drive, and eat. He covers it all, whether you've just a day to see as much as you can, or have a few weeks to hike off into the great beyond. With excellently detailed information on exploring the backcountry, boating and fishing, camping, driving, and avoiding the crowds, Lawrence's guide lets you know what's available, then helps you get what you came for. --Stephanie Gold
