The geologic story of the Yellowstone Country begins with rocks 2.7 billion years old that are mashed remnants of even older rocks, and continues with processes that shape the land surface today. Striking evidence lies along the park roads and highways leading to the north, south, east, and west entrances to Yellowstone Park.

Great Book, Great Professor,
By kilchurn (Silver Creek, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roadside Geology of the Yellowstone Country (Roadside Geology Series) (Paperback)
This was the text for part of our Field Camp. I was fortunate enough to have the Dr. Fritz as my personal guide to Yellowstone National Park. I still use the book as a reference in my personal studies of U.S. Geology. It is must for anyone traveling to Yellowstone with even the most remote interest in Geology.

By krit y hatton (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roadside Geology of the Yellowstone Country (Roadside Geology Series) (Paperback)
I'm a nerd. I was left with nothing to read in the cold nights. I was also having trouble sleeping. I thought this book would help.Yes it put me to sleep because reading about rock and millenia of dirt moving is tiresome. But what I absorbed made me look at yellowstone in a new way. The book was quite clear-and I could see and easily understand how Americas greatest monument to beauty was madeof millions of years. It's like seeing the Louvre after taking an art class. The paint on canvass comes alive with history and meaning. So too if you read this.

Another Travel Perspective,
By perrymasonary "perrymasonary" (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roadside Geology of the Yellowstone Country (Roadside Geology Series) (Paperback)
We purchased this book while in Wyoming after we came across the Roadside Wyoming book at Devil's Tower. The geology so intrigued us and the kids that finding this book in the National Park Service store made our summer trip even more enjoyable. As you travel through Yellowstone, this book is like a personal guide to the geologic features. It goes beyond the typical travel guide explaining the sites since it is from the geologic perspective. We have purchased other titles in this series after our Wyoming/Yellowstone purchase. Recommended reading as you travel through Yellowstone.
