New Yellowstone Map!!

National Geographic (along with tourism partners in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming) just announced today their newest geo-tourism map guide for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks (and surrounding eco-system).





From the press release, ';The wonders of Yellowstone National Park and neighboring Grand Teton are only the starting point of National Geographic’s newest Geotourism MapGuide. The map moves well beyond the parks’ borders to highlight the region’s unsung treasures, celebrating the world-class natural and cultural heritage of the entire area.





Much more than a road map, the new Geotourism MapGuide to the Greater Yellowstone Region and its companion Web site, www.yellowstonegeotourism.org, share locals’ knowledge on everything from where to find the best huckleberry milkshake and great community events to where to watch rescued grizzlies and wolves in their daily activities. Nearly 1,000 map point nominations were received from the region’s residents, making the MapGuide a unique resource for the millions of annual visitors as well as locals seeking unspoiled outdoor places and authentic cultural experiences.





The large-format, two-sided map straddles the states of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and includes 20 million acres of rugged mountains, picturesque river valleys, high desert plains and distinctive small towns and historic districts. The lands and waters in this region of Greater Yellowstone are a refuge for hundreds of wildlife species, including rare trumpeter swans, bighorn sheep, herds of elk, roaming bison, wolves, grizzly bears and native fish.';





MapGuides can be ordered free on the Greater Yellowstone Region Geotourism Web site, www.yellowstonegeotourism.org or you can download a .pdf if you don%26#39;t want to wait. Maps will also be available for pick-up at tourism partner locations including Montana visitor centers at West Yellowstone, Big Sky, Bozeman.

Thanks Yellowstone fan! We are from Britain and are going to Yellowstone in July. I was amazed at the ';Free'; map'; as we are new to ';National Parks'; in America having already done all the usual tourist places over the past years first, we thought we would be brave and wander further into the real America! Looking forward to it so much.
