Description
Millions of years ago, the North American continent was dragged over
the world's largest continental hotspot, a huge column of hot and molten
rock rising from the Earth's interior that traced a 50-mile wide, 500-mile-long
path northeastward across Idaho. Generating cataclysmic volcanic eruptions
and large earthquakes, the hotspot helped lift the Yellowstone Plateau
to more than 7,000 feet and pushed the northern Rockies to new heights,
creating the jewel of the U.S. national park system: Yellowstone. Meanwhile,
forces stretching apart the western U.S. created the mountainous glory
of Grand Teton National Park. Smith and Siegel offer expert guidance
through this awe-inspiring terrain, bringing to life the grandeur of
these geologic phenomena as they reveal the forces that have shapedand
continue to shapethe greater Yellowstone-Teton region. Over seventy illustrations,
including fifty-two in full color, illuminate the beauty of the landscape,
while two final chapters provide driving tours of the parks to help visitors
enjoy and understand the region's wonders..

Book Review
This was the text for part of our Field Camp. I was fortunate enough to
have the Dr. Fritz as my personal guide to Yellowstone National Park. I
still use the book as a reference in my personal studies of U.S. Geology.
It is must for anyone traveling to Yellowstone with even the most remote
interest in Geology.

Book Review
The Geysers of Yellowstone is best guide to Yellowstones thermal features
I know of, but I wish it would include some of the non-eruptive hot spring
and mud pots. Never the less, the book is packed with in-depth information
on everything the ever erupted in Yellowstone at time. I am a Yellowstone
visitor for 8 years running, and more than half this book, I still don't
know! A MUST for any geyser lover.
