Book Excerpt : From the East Entrance to Fishing Bridge Junction

Sylvan Lake
Sylvan Lake in summer
The East Entrance Road is most noted for passing among high mountains and over Sylvan Pass as well as for spectacular views of Yellowstone Lake and of nearby mountain ranges. Sparkling Eleanor and Sylvan lakes catch your eye at the top of the pass, and farther along are viewpoints from which you can often see all the way to the Tetons. Before reaching Fishing Bridge, the road closely follows the lakeshore. It's 26 miles (42 km) from the East Entrance to Fishing Bridge Junction.

Special Caution: Much of the area accessible from the East Entrance Road, especially around the Pelican Creek drainage, is prime grizzly bear territory . . . Read the full nugget and see the pictures

For instance, on page 82 you'll learn that a bison fell into Blue Star Spring, located near the Old Faithful Geyser, in 1997 and that afterward the thermal feature "began a hitherto unseen boiling and doming up activity." On page 172 you'll read that Black Dragon's Caldron was formed during the winter of 1947-48, most likely by an explosion "because trees were blown out by their roots, but no one happened to be here to see it." On page 257-258 you learn about stained glass images from Yellowstone that are located within the Yellowstone National Park Chapel, a non-denominational facility still used for weddings and services."
