We drove under the Montana big sky back down to Yellowstone for more wildlife & geological wonders. Aven’s wearing his snake around his neck in the pic below as we heard two rattlesnakes in the grass nearby!
It’s hard to describe Yellowstone due to its amazing size and diversity! We did our best to see as much as we could today, and included our favorite pics here.
Family shot at the Grand Prismatic Spring -we called it rainbow lake- although it looks like fiery lava behind us!
Buffalo, Bison, Tatonka – call it whatever you want, just don’t get too close.
These Geysers were screaming at us the whole time and Aniya couldn’t stand the sulfur smell!
Yellowstone’s Clepsydra Geyser- the most active one we got to see.
An aerial view of Yellowstone’s Painted Pots- we hiked way up above them.
Saw plenty of Elk! Especially on our way out of the north entrance to Yellowstone.
Here’s a shot of Yellowstone falls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone – the picture hardly shows the real depth and magnificence! It was HUGE!
Finally got a great shot of a Pronghorn Antelope – we saw many antelope but this gorgeous guy was brave enough to let us get closer.
We also got to meet the world-renowned nature photographer/videographer Tom Murphy in one of the visitor centers. He was doing book-signings so we got to chat, ask questions and share stories for a while- that was neat!
We had a wonderful exhausting day and got to Butte Montana near midnight- stay tuned for a cave adventure tomorrow!!
