Yellowstone

There are many parks more beautiful than Yellowstone, but perhaps none as unique. Animals and geysers are everywhere! And what trip through Yellowstone would be complete without a bison traffic jam! This little baby stole the show the day we were there....



While this coyote was more interested in scouting out some dinner...



Up at Mammoth Hot Springs, a herd of Elk live on a patch of lush green grass in the middle of town all summer long. Their only job appears to be posing for the tourists!



The hot spring terraces near Mammoth are a very unique and amazing landscape..



And what trip to Yellowstone would be complete without a visit to Old Faithful (seen here through the window of the historic Old Faithful Lodge).



Another Yellowstone "must see" are the falls of the Yellowstone river. Of course, this is the one time Mom decided to just stay in the car!



Finally, one more on the Yellowstone hit list... the West Thumb Geyser Basin...



But still, I'm drawn to Yellowstone most for the animals.






Of course, on the other hand, Millie is drawn to Yellowstone for the swimming! This time she enjoyed a dip in one of the creek rapids.
