Postcards. They’re more than a souvenir. More than a way to say Thinking of you! or Wish you were here! They’re a way of seeing and sharing. Small by design, a postcard from Yellowstone can capture a moment.

In that spirit, for you: A postcard from Yellowstone

Postcard from Yellowstone: Mallard Lake

Hi there! Sitting on the shore of Mallard Lake, I realized we hadn’t seen another soul for hours. Solitude may be hiking’s greatest gift. With only our conversation and the quiet lapping of the water on the beach to break the profound backcountry silence, it was water therapy at its finest. Whether in Yellowstone, your own favorite wild place, or even through the pages of a book, I hope you experience this for yourself.
