Gibbon River

I was inspired by all the winter photos to retrieve a few photos from Yellowstone taken in January, 2005 where we were cross-country skiing. Luckily, enough snow had fallen to make that possible, and it was only about 16 F, rather that the -40 F it sometimes is at that time of year.

This was taken a short way from Old Faithful on a ski jaunt. There is a small geyser next to the river on the left. The geyser activity on the river keeps it from freezing
