Before exploring
the Rockies, fuel up
in Boulder, a city
making the most of its
mountainside environment
in its off-time and its
mealtimes (p42).2
Colorado’s
Rocky
Mountain
National Park is
decked out in its winter
finest, when the forest takes
on a secretive allure (p43).3
Elk herds and hardy
souls forge tracks
through the snow in
Wyoming’s Jackson
Hole, in the shadow of
Grand Teton (p46).4
Bison graze as
boiling fountains
erupt in an ever-changing
landscape that few
experience in the cold –
there’s nowhere quite like
Yellowstone (p48).
