Walks in Wild Yellowstone: A Summer of Solo Backpacking in Yellowstone National Park

Walks in Wild Yellowstone is the story of four solo backpacking trips across some of the remote areas in Yellowstone National Park: Sky Rim; Hoodoo Basin; Thorofare; and Bechler. This book takes you on treks to these areas in the course of a single summer. As a vicarious traveler in the Yellowstone backcountry, you'll walk trails marked only with tracks of bears and wolves, cross mountain ranges and ford mighty rivers-the Yellowstone, Snake, and the Bechler-and experience the beauty of wild Yellowstone. Along the way, you'll explore the history, geology, and ecology of the park. When the journey is complete, you'll have a better feel for these remote areas of Yellowstone and how they are all interconnected.

About the Author
Cliff Murray has been backpacking in the Northern Rockies for over twenty years, making hasty trips to the mountains in and around Yellowstone whenever his job as a corporate attorney would allow. It was never often enough. During the times he was stuck in a big city far away, he searched for books that could transport him to the Yellowstone backcountry. Unable to find what he was looking for, he vowed to write his own book, if he could ever find time to get away and complete the backcountry treks. That time finally came in 2012, and Cliff spent the summer making four extensive backpacking treks across the Yellowstone wilderness. His experiences are in this book, a book addressed to his former office-bound self and to others who wish they could be in Yellowstone but find themselves somewhere too far way.
