“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” - Thoreau
Called the “American Serengeti” for its abundant and iconic wildlife, Yellowstone is a frequent destination for me. Of all the places I've visited in the Lower 48, to me Yellowstone most represents what American wilderness once was. It's here that I see abundant wildlife in its most natural state.
