Getting Right Into Things" suggests a visitor's eye for Yellowstone's thermal features, the kind of close approach that was common among early travelers. Yellowstone became the first national park in the United States in 1872, and in its early decades visitors arrived by stagecoach and later by rail, eager to see geysers and hot springs firsthand. Pictures like this one capture that sense of wonder, along with a period when the park's delicate formations were far less protected than they are today. The title hints at a scene where people stand among the landscape rather than viewing it from a distance.
