HONORING 150 YEARS
Americans had been inspired by The Hayden Geological Survey, that featured a team of scientists, and included painter Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson. The ambitious expedition mapped the Yellowstone area, confirmed the tall tales of thermal activity and geysers and thrilled the scientific community.
Moran’s paintings and Jackson’s photographs brought the unimaginably wild wonders of Yellowstone to life, and impressed the need to protect and preserve this most unique place.
Haynes’s photography, which lives on as iconic postcards of America’s first National Park, is the inspiration behind our fourth installment of the wide-open spaces series in partnership with Yellowstone Forever.
