GRC Workshop/Fieldtrip to Yellowstone National Park:

Yellowstone - North America’s Cauldron - A Photography Guide (Geographical)

When it comes to geological features and ecosystems, it’s hard to imagine anywhere else in the world more comparable to Yellowstone National Park


Even without the wildlife attractions, the winter landscape of Yellowstone is extraordinarily beautiful and unique. Popular locations include Mammoth Hot Springs for its steaming geothermal terraces, and the Upper Geyser Basin, famous for Old Faithful and other geysers. 

There is hardly a visitor who doesn’t want to come home with an image of Old Faithful erupting. Fortunately, the regularity of its eruptions and the duration of its spouts make it a relatively easy subject for the camera.

The GRC is hosting a Workshop/Fieldtrip to Yellowstone National Park, June 22-26. The workshop will include a tour of the major geologic features of the Park, the site of the greatest concentration of geothermal features in the world, and discussions of its volcanic history, geochemistry, and hydrology.
