Yellowstone Part 1
I figure if I break this up, it'll be easier to read (and load pictures). Not going to go to too text heavy, as there's a lot of pics.
Starting out...
We crossed this several times, six if I remember correctly:
Our Lady of the Rockies, outside of Butte (which we referred to as "Butt" the whole trip, Joshua thought that was really funny). You can read about it here: Our Lady Of The Rockies
Some rocks on the Yellowstone River outside of Gardiner (where we stayed). I believe I'll build my castle here:
On the road:
Mammoth Hot Springs:
Different spot. It was REALLY hot this day, and I got to walk up and down and up and down stairs and slopes with Hannah on my front and a (heavy) backpack on my back. I'm glad to note I gained not one pound on this trip, must've been all the walking because we were not eating exactly healthy.
The girls standing by a large crowd of elk. The elk were lolling all over the lawn and the ranger was yelling herself apoplectic to keep people away from them:
Hard to see, but this was a mama black bear with two cubs down in the valley:
Another black bear, grubbing for bugs by the side of the road:
Jay got a picture of a grizzly on a hillside, but it's pretty far away and hard to see. Which is a bummer, because it was really big.
Coyote trotting down the road:
This guy was here two days in a row, right next to the road:
And on a final note for this entry, don't molest the bears. They don't like it.
