Catchup - Yellowstone


After we left Glacier National Park, we travelled into the northwest corner of Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park. We spent two nights there and got rained on a bit. This was a bit of a pain in regards to the tent, but it was better than some of the extreme heat that the rest of the country was experiencing.

Yellowstone is probably best known for the Old Faithful geyser, but we also enjoyed some of the hikes and seeing the wildlife. In the photo at the top of the page, you can see a bison moving through traffic behind our car. Click on the image to see the enlarged version - notice that the bison is larger than the cars.


We did get to see Old Faithful, and in the sequence of photos below you can see it starting to erupt. According to the guides, it erupts every 93 minutes or so.

Dang. Those bison are big suckers. Yet all they do is mill around and eat grass. Are baby bison considered 'cute'?
