While a guide in Yellowstone Park years back, the most common request of many of my guests was for a panoramic picture of the entire area. This way, they could, in effect, “Take the Park home with them." Because the glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere carved the mountains on the shadow-side (North), they are far more dramatic looking if viewed in a Southerly direction from the North. This is why, as everybody asks, I have the viewer facing South. The area shown is approximately equal in size to the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut COMBINED!!!
