Each issue thus tells a visual story that captures the majesty, power, and mystique of a national park. It is hoped that this will afford readers the opportunity to experience national parks in ways they may not have been able to do firsthand.In this issue, the natural history of Yellowstone's bison is explored. Bison have roamed the park's territory since the Pleistocene glaciers retreated some 10,000 years ago. Today, Yellowstone's bison are the only pure breed herd in the United States that has roamed free since prehistoric times. Generation after generation of Yellowstone's bison have traveled the park's terrain, following the migration routes established by their ancestors. Their behaviors, too, have changed little since prehistoric time. They congregate in herds and move from foraging site to foraging site. Bulls compete for cows during the rut, and cows still nurture their calves. These behaviors and others are beautifully illustrated in the photographs shown in this 23-page issue.

I share photographs of the prairie, representing my experiences as far back as my days of service as a seasonal park ranger. I do this to promote an appreciation of the park's prairie ecosystem and to inspire the reader to hike the prairie trails to fully experience this incredible national park. Wind Cave is much more than a cave tour.

The spires, pinnacles, and hoodoos of Bryce Canyon create a unique and spectacular landscape. It is a magnificent display of geological wonder, and it dominates the panoramic views from atop the plateau. The force of flowing water, and freezing and thawing (frost-wedging), has weathered and eroded the land, creating Gothic-like rock formations that stir the imagination and arouse the emotions. The reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, and purples caused by various mineral deposits are stunning. All of this creates a view seen nowhere else in the world. For this issue, I have selected photographs that represent my "snowy" experiences in the park. I hope these photographs provide a new perspective for readers who have never seen Bryce Canyon covered in snow.

Download or read book American Climber written by Luke Mehall and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Climber is a memoir loaded with epic climbing stories and adventures. It contains two underlying themes: a compelling narrative of Mehall's tumultuous journey to climbing that ultimately saved his life, and a detailed look at the American dirtbag climbing culture, which has never truly been examined in a memoir. "I started climbing during a time when people traveled and lived to climb. They scraped together anything they could and lived out of cars, trucks, tents or vans. Climbing was not only a lifestyle for them, but a purpose for life. With the popularity of climbing skyrocketing, a lot of this soul has been diluted or lost. Luke does an incredible job at capturing the essence of why so many of us climb, why so many of us devote our lives to this sport and lifestyle. It's these people that are the lifers, that keep the soul and character alive, and now there is a great memoir documenting one person's journey through it." Beth Rodden, climbing legend, prolific El Capitan first ascentionist "Luke Mehall emerged as a writer just in time to chronicle the dwindling light of the soul-climber: one who climbs for the aesthetics, who adventures for the freedom not the recognition, who's hi-tech gear is merely a tool rather than a totem. Luke and his cohorts embody the dream of the American West with all its promise of freedom and risk and reward. To dive into a Mehall book is to be brought along on a ride that we all wish we had the courage to board, but most of us trade that courage for comfort." Chris Kalous, host of the Enormocast podcast Luke Mehall is one of the few adventure writers out who handle the tricky first person voice as if it were made for him. John Long, climbing legend and Senior Contributing Editor, Rock and Ice Who's more in tune with the ethos of the dirtbag-and more able to write passionately and honestly about it-than Luke Mehall? I think no one. Brendan Leonard of Semi-rad.com, and author of 60 Meters to Nowhere and New American Road Trip Mixtape "American Climber isn't just about climbing; it is a strong and well-told story about climbing out of the gray cave of existential depression that infects so many young people today, an always-honest account of finding meaning in his life not through disposable McJobs or the standard-issue American dream, but through self-medicating on nature and nature's challenges, where the true highs of life and living are hard-earned doing strange things in strange places with a band of brothers and sisters equally disaffected but spirited. I've previously said that Mehall could be the Kerouac of his generation; with American Climber, he's there." George Sibley author of Dragons in Paradise and Water Wranglers, longtime contributor to the Mountain Gazette

Book excerpt: From the cascading waterfalls of Yosemite to the unique geothermal features of Yellowstone, the U.S. national parks are among the most breathtaking destinations in the world. Founded to preserve the nation’s heritage and historic landscapes for posterity, the national parks represent one of America’s crowning achievements and internationally significant treasures. The National Parks: An American Legacy tells the story of the parks through the photography of Ian Shive, today’s leading photographer of our national parks and their surrounding significant landscapes, as well as through poignant essays by conservancy groups from across the country. With more than 200 glorious images of the nation’s parks, this book celebrates everything from the snowy vistas of Denali in Alaska to the lava flows in Hawaii’s Volcano National Park—as well as Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and hundreds more, from sea to shining sea. Comprehensive, stunningly beautiful, and always inspiring, The National Parks: An American Legacy reveals the way humankind interacts with the parks, and how the story of the national parks is also a tribute to the people who visit, explore, and tirelessly work to preserve these cherished American landscapes.
