Photo Flashback: Yellowstone National Park

on July 15, 2009 12:30 PM | Comments (1)

There is perhaps nothing I love more than poking through the National Geographic photo archives. Which is why I adore the two galleries we currently have on our website, featuring classic images from Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks. The shot above, which has never before been published, depicts the snowmobile vehicle tours available in Yellowstone park in 1967. The caption reads:

"Along the Lower Geyser Basin we waved at sightseers standing beside the tanklike snowmobiles that had brought them over the snowbound road from West Yellowstone. The day is perhaps not far off when large number of visitors, bundled up in snowmobiles, will see much more of the park's winter beauty. When that day comes, fleets of steel-treaded half-tracks will rumble across a land that once knew only the snowshoes of Indians and trappers."

For more on the parks, and to see other classic photo galleries, visit our National Parks guide. Want more images from the National Geographic vault? Let us know what you'd like to see and we'll dig through the archives to find them.

Our May/June issue is on its way to your mailbox this week, and will be on newsstands shortly. Inside is a bevy of treasures, including one of my favorite roundups of the year (perfect for those IWTGTT moments), our 50 Tours of a Lifetime.

Senior Editor Norie Quintos and contributing writer Meg Loftus scoured the globe for some of the most interesting and far-flung excursions around, and then helpfully diced them up into three categories: Active, Classic, and Cultural.

What's on our wish list? Sailing a gulet between the Greek and Turkish Dodecanese islands. Snorkeling with humpbacks off the island of Tonga. Following the route of the Crusaders through the Euphrates Valley in Syria. The options go on and on, and thankfully, in these tough economic times, many of these tour operators are offering add-ons and extras to convince travelers to get going.

We've also highlighted three tours in detail: A ramble through the Bavarian highlands; the moutaintop route to Macchu Piccu, and a self-guided tour along the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland. You can find slideshows of images from the stories online, pick up the issue for the full scoop - plus more on Baltimore, Kyoto, and Krakow.
