Yellowstone National Park is an amenity and favorite for millions of visitors each year. The park is an important stop for a good holiday. Driving we were able to see the park from the comfort of our vehicle and also rest at one of the many picnic areas along the way. The park has thousands of miles of trails. Lewis and Clark were the first white people to explore the Yellowstone region, among them was one of the most famous hunters and woodsmen of that period, John Colter. The expedition took place in 1908, Colter returned to Yellowstone and trapped this region and in doing so became the first white visitor to what is now Yellowstone National Park. His return, his "tales" were so incredible that no author or cartographer would publish them out of fear among their friends. By the latter part of the 1840s the fur trade was coming to an end. The hunters who remained in the region adapted and among them was the hunter, Jim Bridger. Bridger, as soon as the fur trade was over, became a guide, a scout and a legendary storyteller. Because of his knowledge of what is now Yellowstone National Park, he became the first "geographer" of the region and was the person who led Captain W. F. Reynolds, including Dr. Ferdinand Hayden and the Reynolds expedition of 1859. Between the 1850s and the 1870s, the Yellowstone miners helped publicize the region with not much more credibility than their fur trapping ancestors. In 1863, Walter and his group set out to explore the Yellowstone until... middle of paper... where we are there is an ancient Jackson Lake whose gray-green waters are dotted with icebergs born from the valley's glaciers that pour from the Teton. At about 9,000 feet elevation, bare ice gives way to slush, then old dry snow. Getting to the edge of Yellowstone would be amazing. Behind are the peaks of the Teton. The summit of Mount Sheridan sits a few hundred feet below the ice. A chain of dark protuberances barely piercing an expanse of white marks the crest line of the Absaroka Range. These are some facts, as we approach the vicinity of present-day Yellowstone Lake, the ice underfoot is about 4,000 feet thick. In every direction, all the way to the horizon, a boundless, unbroken plain of snow-covered ice lies silent and lifeless under a dazzling sun. We reached the summit of the Yellowstone Ice Field. This is a place everyone would like to visit in their lifetime.
