Yellowstone - October 2008

Prior to moving to Idaho Falls, I had the opportunity to spend a few days at Yellowstone and the Grand Teton's. Here's a few sights along the way...

Near Mammoth Hot Springs

The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

Would you like to pet the grizzly?

(Yes, I am close enough to pet him..... in a car.)

Elk (one of many)

Fountain Paint Pots (Colorful, boiling mud)

A Buffalo keeping his eye on me!

Old Faithful

A deer at sunset

The Grand Teton's

Unfortunately, I missed pictures of some other wildlife (moose, fox, coyote attacking an elk, etc.). But it's simply amazing that you can find so much variety in landscape, terrain and wildlife all in one day. From boiling mud caldroons and hot springs to the mountains around, Yellowstone is a must see and a true testament to our Creator who had the imagination to create it all!
