Brooding Skies over Yellowstone
My final day in Yellowstone NP found the weather moody and shifting.
I visited in mid-June, and was blessed with several 75°F days, but on this day, as I began my journey north toward Glacier NP, the skies were heavily overcast with intermittent rains. This typically makes a good scene for waterfall images, so I stopped by Artist Point a second time to capture the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River.
One of the downsides of visiting a place like Yellowstone National Park after Memorial Day, is the heavy volume of tourists - school's out, the weather is nicer, etc. Some of the international tourists can be extremely rude, with little regard for anyone else, especially in the confines of this viewpoint. However, on this day, I was relatively uninterrupted, as people caught their selfies and rushed back to their cars/buses to get out of the rain.
What do you think? Do you prefer bright, sunny days, sunrises, sunsets, or cloudy skies?
