Harbor Light Adventures Hosted Tour - Yellowstone NP 9/2012

September, 2012, Harbor Light Adventures is hosting a nature & photography trip to Yellowstone National Park. To get a sense and flavor for what you will enjoy when you join us – keep reading!

Imagine a waterfall twice as high as Niagara Falls, a park that’s larger than two entire states, more than a thousand miles of trails, and historic hotels built for the wealthy a century ago – including the largest log structure in the world, Old Faithful Inn. Welcome to Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone is nature at its most grand. It has ten thousand geothermal wonders — half of all that exist on the planet. The area is populated by two thousand buffalo, twenty thousand elk, moose, wolves, bighorn sheep, antelope, cougars, coyote, mule deer, grizzly bears and black bears…and those are just the larger animals. Yellowstone is known to America’s 46 million birders for its trumpeter swans, osprey, bald eagles, golden eagles, white pelicans, sandhill cranes, great blue herons, Canada geese, ravens, magpies, killdeer, yellow-headed blackbirds, dippers, and more.  

Undoubtedly, much of the reason Yellowstone is a favorite destination is all the wondrous sights, but it’s also the sounds of the place — the whoosh and gurgle of exploding geysers, the bubbling, plopping sound of mud pots, the giggle of kids when seeing these things for the very first time. There’s always something happening in the park that will inevitably provide unforgettable memories.

And then there are the stories. Dinnertime for our group travelers is when we hear what everyone has seen, photographed and experienced during the day. That would be true even if you only drove through the park and took the boardwalk strolls around the hissing pools and geysers. But the road system covers only two percent of what there is to see. Specially arranged tours take people off the roads and into the backcountry by seldom-used trails, and just north of the park boundary (still in the Yellowstone Ecosystem) by horse into the high country guided by fourth-generation Montana cowboys. You can also raft the Yellowstone River, racing through its Class Two and Class Three rapids. You can imagine the stories that spill out at dinner after these activities!

Pay a visit to a remarkable park that’s a World Heritage site; a designated Biosphere Reserve; a “supervolcano” hundreds of times bigger than Mount St. Helens; is headwaters of the longest undammed river in the nation (the Yellowstone); has 290 waterfalls of fifteen feet or higher; and is home to a thousand archeological sites. Did you know that there is a Grand Canyon of Yellowstone some 800 t0 1200 ft deep and 1500 to 4000 foot wide?

But a final reason to travel to this amazing place — how better to unwind than to vacation somewhere so beautiful and unique!
