Highlights from Yellowstone Park

Last week, we spent 3 days camping and hiking up in Yellowstone Park. :)

The weather was gorgeous, and I took over 160 incredibly nice photos while we were there!! I wasn't sure where to start as far as posting them here, so I am organizing them into several posts which will go up over the next few weeks.

In the meantime, I thought that I would give a preview with some highlights of the trip, using some of my favorite pictures that I took. I hope you enjoy, and please do come back over the next few weeks as I add more posts with more details from my awesome trip to Yellowstone!

For starters, of course a trip to Yellowstone means seeing many buffalo, and the ones we saw were very healthy, like this big boy:

I'll be doing a post just on the buffalo of Yellowstone soon, so stay tuned!!

These trees really caught my eye. You can see where the buffalo (and perhaps moose and elk?) rub on them:

I'll also be doing a post with some great photos of the trees and mountains. :)

One of my favorite places in the park is Yellowstone Lake, it is absolutely beautiful:

So are the numerous waterfalls:

A post on the lovely water features of Yellowstone is sure to come as well, including some from the Fishing Bridge, where there were quite a few pelicans gathered:

I also took some great pictures and video of the various mineral pools and geysers (including Old Faithful, of course!!), which also deserve their own post:

But the best treat of all was seeing this big, beautiful grizzly bear, he was about 150 yards away and we followed him for over an hour:

Needless to say, he deserves an entire post dedicated to him, as well.

Anyway, I hope this whetted your appetite for more, so please check back here at Tetons and Beyond over the next few weeks for more in-depth coverage of our trip!!

I know you will enjoy!! ;)
