The Yellowstone landscape embodies a harmony of contrasts.



Yellowstone is a unique landscape, making it difficult to put the spirit of the place into words.  The geysers, hot springs, mudpots and fumeroles give a sense that the Earth is completely and exuberantly alive and active.  By contrast, the rivers and meadows offer a feeling of contemplative rest.  The wide-open sky and vast lake surfaces embody a sense of spaciousness, while the abundant wildlife leaves us feeling that we are intimate with the rest of creation. What a harmony of opposites Yellowstone is!
