Most of all, Yochim appreciated entering the roadless Thorofare, one of the most remote places in the Lower 48 and formed by an intersection of national park and forest. This photograph offers a view of the headwaters of the Yellowstone River looking west from the top of Younts Peak in the Teton Wilderness of the Bridger-Teton National Forest south of Yellowstone. The North Fork and the South Fork of the Yellowstone river collect snowmelt from Younts Peak and meet just to the west of the mountain where the famous river begins its journey northward through the park. The area is home to many solitude-needing species free from large numbers of people. Photo courtesy Yellowstone National Park.
