After a couple of days acclimating to the altitude here, we finally took on Yellowstone. I'm so glad we waited because if 5,000 feet of elevation gave me trouble, I know 8,000 would have been awful without the wait. Anyways, I've talked enough. Here are a few snapshots of the most beautiful day I've had in a long time:

| We drove many miles without seeing any wildlife, just enormous ravens. I began to despair there were no Bison. Just then, one appeared so close to the road, I could have stuck out my arm and touched him. Still no bear or elk sitings. Maybe we'll get lucky on our next trip in on Saturday. |

That's all for now. You can thank me later because between 3 cameras, I snapped about 200 photos. Hope you're all well. I'm off to soak in the hot tub.
P.S. Seeing Old Faithful in person, well, it's nothing like it is on a National Geographic documentary. Take my word for it and pencil this park into your agenda.

It's on the agenda! It is. Enjoy the soak :) and thanks for the update and photos. Sounds like a great trip so far.
Drive carefully, I got my last ticket there.
Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. Enjoy the rest of it
I have always wanted to go to Wyoming and Montana. Must be my ancestors calling.
Have a wonderful trip.
Gorgeousness!
My widowed S-I-L and I had plans to go on a road trip there in 2010, plans changed and I ended up here for 2 years instead.
Maybe another time!
