The new "Yellowstone and Beyond" mapguide from National Geographic features an introduction by Cheyenne author C.J. Box, nominated this year for an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America. The intro mixes a bit of first-person narrative with history and local color.
Read the intro --and download (or order) a copy of the mapguide -- at http://www.yellowstonegeotourism.org/. The site also features an interactive map of the region.
National Geographic's Center for Sustainable Destinations has published an entire series of these publications devoted to Geotourism: "The kind of travel that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place — its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents."
