Yellowstone - Day 3

Wildlife and Waterfall day! We started the day off with spotting a hawk while on Six Mile Road... Continued to the highest point in the park for a picnic lunch.... (The air was really thin up there... :-( had a hard time breathing...) And then went to check out some of the waterfalls around the park. Absolutely beautiful!

















Important lesson of the day: If it ain't a bear, don't stop and stare!
We about caused multiple traffic accidents because we stopped to take photos of this heard of elk!

Yellowstone - Day 2

Today we visited Mammoth Spring, spotted what we think is a coyote (and not a wolf), stalked more Bison, and saw our first bears... and got pretty darn close to a Grizzly!!!

Yellowstone - Day 1

Our first day in Montana and Yellowstone. We watched the moon set behind a mountain across the valley, stopped at Old Faithful, saw our first Buffalo herd, and drove down to the Tetons Mountain Range... Beautiful Country!!!

Yellowstone - The First Night


After a few hours on a plane and a 3 hour car ride through Montana, we arrived at the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park! After dinner, this was the view from our balcony!!!
