Funding is needed to update and reprint two high-priority publications: Yellowstone Quest and the Ski Trail Guide series. Yellowstone Quest is a popular educational resource for Kâ4 classrooms and families, designed to engage young learners with Yellowstoneâs natural and cultural resources while supporting curriculum standards and programs like Junior Ranger and Young Scientist. Over 100,000 students, parents, and teachers have used this publication, and demand continues to grow. Only a few copies remain, making reprinting and minor content updates essential to maintain this valuable educational tool.
The Ski Trail Guide series serves winter recreationists and complements the parkâs summer hiking guides. Cross-country skiing has grown significantly in Yellowstone, especially in the northern region, yet the existing guides are outdatedâsome have not been updated for 20 years.
This project will restore the full series of seven guides with accurate trail information, updated safety messaging, and resource preservation content. Printed publications remain critical in Yellowstone, where connectivity is limited, and they provide visitors with reliable information and a tangible connection to the park. These publications will ensure visitors and educators have access to accurate, engaging, and essential resources.
