Yellowstone - not just another park!

This photo was our coup de gras, we saw quite a few bears but only in the distance but when we were leaving the park by the North East Entrance, this Grizzly decided to try and cross the road - he came really close and didn't look a bit scary until you remember that a grizzly killed a bloke 2 weeks ago!!!


We hunted the park for Moose but his is the only one we found!
This picture is for Fi Leonard who didn't see Moose either! Are there any there?





We visited Mammoth Springs and thought we could only have a look then we discovered we could swim in Boiling River, just where the hot springs come in at just under 100 degrees! This was about 7pm and the steam can be clearly seen rising from the water fall in the back.











We saw lots of Bison but this old fella caught our imagination as he was laying at the side of the road making the cars wait and pull out around him - without a care in the world!









The antlers on this Elk looked too big to hold up!




We were blown away by the colours in the Yellowstone River Canyon.






















The Yellowstone River is very fast, with two huge falls.













We also swam in the Firehole river but someone turned the fire off, they didn't turn off the current though which was really fast and fun.
























Old Faithful

Of course you can't miss the geysers, which are all over park area inside the caldura.



























What a great experience.
