Waking Up in the Wilderness: A Yellowstone Journey

Waking up in the Wilderness invites you to embark on a four-decade journey into Yellowstone National Park. Travel with Natalie Ogbourne as she navigates the fine line between isolation and solitude-on the road, on the trail, and in life. Encounter the park's inseparable dangers and delights. Explore Yellowstone through each of its seasons-hiking, canoeing, fly fishing, snowmobiling, and camping along the way. Experience the transformational power of its wilderness.

It's said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Or the rotation of a tire. Or the turn of a page.

Waking Up in the Wilderness offers more than a story of Natalie Ogbourne and her family doing what they love, in a place they love, with people they love. Rather, it's an invitation to head into Yellowstone with a companionable guide who wants readers to experience the park and see all there is to see for themselves.
