Book: Seeing Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

You can scroll through a hundred photos of Yellowstone online and still miss what makes the place feel alive. But flip open Seeing Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks (Sweetgrass Books, $22) with photography by David William Peterson, and you’ll witness the amazing scenery come to life. This isn’t just a highlight reel of geysers and bison. Peterson captures the whole mood of the parks—from wide-open valley light to sudden storms rolling off the mountains. It’s not a technical guide or history lesson, it’s visual storytelling, pure and simple. With a clean layout and crisp printing, this book deserves a spot in any nature lover’s living room, as a coffee-table staple you’ll open over and over again. For those who’ve visited Yellowstone or the Tetons, this book will pull you right back. And if you haven’t, it might just give you the nudge to finally plan a trip.
