Yellowstone, Wyoming, US
Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.

The canyon is 20 miles long, depth 1000ft, width 1500-4000 ft.
Primary rock type is Rhyolite. And the lava flow is 484,000 yrs ago. And it is an AWESOME view!!!!
A view looking west after topping Dunraven Pass with some of the Absaroka mountains in the distance.
There are 46 peaks over 12,000 feet in the Absaroka Range.
The Absaroka range forms most of the eastern border of Yellowstone Park.
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
The Yellowstone River curls around Bumpus Butte and Calcite Springs on it's way north into Montana.
For me it is typical of the beautiful landscapes one finds in the wonderfully varied ecosystem that is Yellowstone.
Enjoy your Sunday!
I was shooting some of these big horns in a clearing when this male came out of seemingly no where. I heard something grunt and looked being me and there it was. if felt entirely too close but quite the thrill.
Spring has not "arrived" yet, I am still waiting ... for now I am trying to choose anything from my old photos ...
haPPy almost weekend :)
I'm not sure of the name of this geyser, but it's along the bike trail on the way out to Morning Glory pool. It's many colors caught my eye enough to stop and snap a quick shot.
If you haven't been to Yellowstone it's definitely a sight to see, plus it's close to the Grand Tetons.
Yellowstone is an Amazing Place, and a Bucket-list Adventure for this Old Guy. The Snow is Fun... the -20 degrees Fahrenheit is a bit less fun 😅

A rainbow appeared adding to the beauty of driving Yellowstone's Blacktail Deer Plateau road.
"This drive is a 6 mile one-way dirt road that takes you back into the woods and meadows of Blacktail Deer Plateau. Retreat from the paved road and experience the solitude of the Yellowstone wilderness. Driving on this road is slower going than taking the main road, slowing down the pace which will make it easier to spot wildlife and enjoy the views. Watch for the elk, bison, and bears that frequent the area. After many curves and bends, this road will begin to descend as you get closer to Tower Junction where it meets back up with the Grand Loop Road near Petrified Tree."
