	Thomas Moran and the American Landscape
		Moran's masterpiece from the Yellowstone expedition is entitled "The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone," which is his rendition of the spectacular view of the Lower Falls through the deep chasm of yellowish-red sulfur-stained rock which earned Yellowstone its name.
		Yellowstone was ideally "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people," but in reality, it was merely the first of many plots of Western land that beckoned industrialists with stores of natural resources and lured tourists with its unparalleled beauty and majesty.
		Yellowstone, like the Grand Canyon and the Yosemite Valley, was first established for the benefit and profit of all men involved in its discovery and assessment; that all Americans could and still can enjoy the splendor of these parks is merely a happy coincidence in the game of supply and demand.

	Final Report, Moran's Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
		Painted from sketches made on his first trip, Moran's magnificent 86" X 141" The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone was purchased by the U.S. government for $10,000 soon after completion in 1872, and established his fame as an artist.

		Normally I'll stay inside the park, but in the case of the Grand Canyon it's popular enough all the cool rooms were taken well in advance, and although the park is large in terms of square miles it's also only about a mile from town to the gate and maybe 7 more to the rim.
		They say Yellowstone is the best place in the lower 48 to see wildlife and I'm not inclined to argue although it's a polite way of saying it's not as good as Alaska.
