Yellowstone is yet another amazing National Park. Each park we have seen has its' own unique qualities. Yellowstone has many different features as you drive the two main loops. Thermals, geysers, hot springs, mud pots, travertine terraces, rugged mountains, expansive valleys, lakes, waterfalls and SNOW anytime of the year...be ready for the pass you might want to see to be closed on any particular day. By the way, it also has many varieties of wildlife...some you see and some you don't....watch out for that sneaky bear.
Here's a sample of what we saw. What we found in Yellowstone and other parks is that some vistas we were not able to capture....you had to be there.
