Consider the most compelling characters you know. They all have one thing in common. Something’s going on beneath the surface. That’s Yellowstone. Below ground the temperature rises and reveals itself in spectacular ways. Geysers launch water to incredible heights. Hot springs hiss and display radiant colors. A diversity of animals, such as bison, elk, grizzlies and even gray wolves, are as attracted to this unique place as we are. Yellowstone is the character that draws us all in. And it’s only half of this trip. Imagine what the Tetons are like.
