A tribute to and a tool for the geyser gazers. . . . Any visitor to Yellowstone for whom geysers carry an appeal at all needs the guide.

“I don't own a single guidebook to the geysers. Ive never even thought about buying one. I've never been tempted to consult one while ambling through Yellowstone National Park. But Scott Bryans field guide-now in its fourth edition- has me wondering if

Review
I don't own a single guidebook to the geysers. Ive never even thought about buying one. I've never been tempted to consult one while ambling through Yellowstone National Park. But Scott Bryans field guide-now in its fourth edition- has me wondering if its not time to reconsider.
Geysers of Yellowstone tells the story of more than 700 springs, geysers, steam vents and fumaroles in the park. And in Bryan's naturalist-former park ranger hands, the stories are fascinating, hitting on the history, geography, and science of Yellowstone's geothermal phenomena. He's done pretty much all the work for us. There are maps, directions, descriptions, cautionary notes, photographs, you name it. All that's left is to grab the guidebook, stuff it in a backpack, and head for hot water.”
