First Trip To Yellowstone - 10/2008



Some found pictures of our first trip to Yellowstone National Park.


The landscape is absolutely incredible and almost impossible to describe.



We had pulled off the road to watch this bison grazing in the field across the road.  It was the first time I'd been that close to one and it was massive.

Then, he looked up and saw us sitting there and the next thing I know he's running towards our car.  Just after I snapped this picture, I throw the camera to Joe and we got out of there.




No, the picture is not sideways.  That's Joe lying prone on the ground taking a sip of clear mountain stream water.




All the white is not snow - it's the salt that has bubbled up from ground and solidified.



This is some of the tree stand which was hit by the big Yellowstone fire of 1988.
