THIS STOP: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, U.S.A.

Whether you're a photographer, an artist, a writer, or just someone who wants to vacation in a peaceful splendor, Yellowstone National Park is a must-see. Bring the significant other, bring the parents, bring the kids….but above all, bring yourself for picnics, camping, nature watching, hiking, swimming, rock climbing and other extreme sports. You won't want to miss nature's marvels, from the smallest bird to the largest lumbering buffalo.

And while you're at it, don't forget Old Faithful. Did you know, while Old Faithful is the most well-known geyser, it is not the only one in the area?

A LITTLE HISTORY

Yellowstone National Park is located primarily in the State of Wyoming, though parts of this park extend into Montana and Idaho, spanning an area of 3,468.4 sq mi. This was the world's first national park, designated in 1872. Native Americans have lived in that area now known as Yellowstone for greater than 11,000 years.

When I needed a western cattle ranch location for my story Lifeline Echoes, I checked out a few states, but few places captured my imagination as well as the state of Wyoming. So I created a fictional small town in the western part of the state, not too far from Yellowstone Park. Elusive Echoes, the second in that series is due out in June of this year. My current WIP is also set in that fictional small town of Orson's Folly, Wyoming.

For some beautiful pictures of the park, check out the Photography of J.L. Gould in Yellowstone National Park. Ms. Gould is the talented photographer who inspired descriptions of the area and the photographs in Lifeline Echoes, which is set in Western Wyoming, quite close to Yellowstone.
