Yellowstone and the Gravelly Range

Our route takes us along the top of the Gravelly Range northwest of Yellowstone into the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. This remote part of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem remains much like it was long before it was established as our country's first national park. After a few days of incredible views, we descend to the banks of the Madison River on our way into the park. This is one of the only places in the world where one can actually witness dynamic geologic forces at work. Unlike most geologic wonders where change happens over millions of years, in Yellowstone things change from week to week. You will understand why when you witness the active geysers, hot springs and fumaroles! In addition to the geology, the abundant wildlife flourishing in the greater Yellowstone area will astound you.
