Yellowstone was the world’s first national park, and is home to the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states. RealClearLife has selected its favorite images from this month’s issue of National Geographic, which focuses on all aspects of Yellowstone—from its geysers and extreme seasonal conditions to its ever-present, up-close-and-personal wildlife. Be sure to check our Nat Geo’s Yellowstone interactives, including this multimedia feature from a bear’s perspective.
