Isolation

Yellowstone is a very diverse eco-system. In the north there is quite a bit of "desert". Many spaces are void of trees and the sagebrush takes over. Some of the sagebrush, as it ages, gets quite tall. The sagebrush shown here is relatively immature. I believe the hill is Garnet Hill just west of Tower-Roosevelt on the Grand Loop Road. The snow was quite deep here in places. Some of the drifts are visible in the image. I felt quite lucky to get an evening sky like this. During much of my stay the sky was overcast.

 

This hill stands alone surrounded by the sagebrush!
