Yellowstone National Park

After Glacier National Park, I drove about 450 miles south to Yellowstone National Park. There was still some haze in the air, preventing a lot of far-away scenic shots, but Yellowstone had so much variety other than the scenery to look at. There were many areas of burnt forest (from a huge fire in 1988), waterfalls, wildlife, geysers, hot springs, rivers, and lakes to see. I'd highly recommend making a trip here.




















A Prong-horn antelope checking me out




















Gibbon Falls...really beautiful




















One of many hot springs




















Some funny-looking waterfowl




















The colors from the hot springs were incredible

























Old Faithful




















More beautiful colors from a scalding-hot spring




















A bull elk standing peacfully in the water




















In the town of Mammoth Hot Springs




















A Bison, or American Buffalo



Some beautiful geologic features



End of a perfect day
