Cody Wy to Madison Idaho

This is bison that reside in Yellowstone. There are thousands in the park and they cross the road anywhere and anytime they like. They even walk right down the center of the road. Of course traffic stops and everyone takes pictures.

Here is one of the many rapids on the Yellowstone River. This river and many streams flow through Yellowstone. There must be a lot of trout in these waters, because we saw quite a few fishermen with their waders on in the middle of the streams.

Here are some elk that were grazing in the yard at a lodge in Mammoth, Wyoming. They don't pay any attention to all the cars or tourists.

Sulpher hot springs are found near Mammoth at the north end of the park. Here is just one of them showing the white residue left behind.

Of course, a visit to Yellowstone is not complet without viewing Old Faithful. There were hundreds of people there waiting to see this.

Yellowstone had forest fires some years ago and we could still see the burnt trees and other scars from the fire, but we also saw the new growth that resulted after these fires. It will take many years for the park to come back to prefire standards.

Yellowstone is huge and has many types of topography from mountains, to valleys, to thick forests. And, of course, the areas that have the gysers. It took us all day to go through the park. If we would have taken all of the little side roads or if we were hikers, it would take two to three days to see it all.

On to the Grand Tetons tomorrow and then to Jackson Hole. Maybe we will see some movie stars.
