“I am researching partnerships with other organizations that will get our content out to more people, such as campers, history buffs, and last-minute travelers,” Beth said. She also plans to create more short-form publications, on the model of Visiting Geyserland, the 48-page booklet of ten maps and hydrothermal area descriptions GPP published from 2008 to 2010. As Victor Hugo wrote, “There is nothing like a dream to create the future.” Granite Peak Publications has published revised editions of the guidebook every three to five years since 2002, when Yellowstone Treasures won the Gold for Travel–Guides in ForeWord Magazine‘s Book of the Year Awards.
