Days 35-38 ~ Day at Yellowstone

Still blog troubles . . . 

Only one day to enjoy Yellowstone ... storm moving into area


What you see on the interstates in Montana!

Beautiful mountains .... but that is snow!


driving int the mountains and clouds!


Our first view of Yellowstone!  Amazing elk just grazing
Whole families, so beautiful


Post Card Shot


These two Bison were on the shoulder of the road, eating the new growth on the pines


First of many Geysers






Really nice elevated boardwalks


We turned into the parking lot of the Visitor's Center and our spot was taken  LOL

He was itching his horns on the snow pole...so funny


Too many tourist watching; time to leave parking lot




We arrived just before Old Faithful was due to erupt

Just the beginning . . .



 
close up view




We toured only 1/4 of the park today ... could've spent a week


Opal pond


Mud pies ... yum








Huge herd of Bison


Doesn't STOP for cars ... walked right in front of the Mini


Guess the Bison aren't afraid of falling through the crust

Water fall of steaming water




pretty blue

Fountain Paint Pots

The only Grizzly we saw ... we looked for real ones all day, but no luck



Look .... I did let him drive the Mini

Beautiful sunset as we left Yellowstone



Looked like the sky was on fire
