Yellowstone

We had a great trip to Yellowstone. Here are some of the pictures I took. Feel free to click on any of the pictures to open it up in a separate window. Camille also has some of her pictures posted on her blog go there and see.

First, everyone hopes to see a bear while at Yellowstone. We saw 15 different bears. Some of them might have been the same because they were in the same area on different days, but we can't be sure. Here is the picture of a bear I like most.


We also saw several coyote. Here is one of them.


There were a lot of elk. Most of them were cows, but here are a couple bulls that we saw.


As we were entering the park we saw this moose. There was a baby close by behind some trees, but I couldn't get it in my picture.


There were buffalo (bison) all over the place. Here is one of them.


We also saw a wolf, bald eagle, mountain goats, pelicans, and various other animals. Isn't this chipmunk cute?


Of course Yellowstone is very popular for its geysers and other natural features. We were able to see a lot of great things like Old Faithful.


The geyser in this picture goes off once every 2.5 to 5 hours and we happened to be on the trail right next to it when it went off.


I just love the colors that are in most of the hot springs

What would a trip to Yellowstone be like without seeing bubbling mud.


Of course there are waterfalls too. This view was quite the hike to get to. The trail has over 300 stairs to get you down to the bottom. Then you have to come back up.

See those stairs in the air? That is the trail to get to the bottom of the waterfall.

If you look closely between the white shirt and orange shirt up the stairs you can see Camille with her black shirt in the background. CJ is in the white. I'm taking this picture from the spot you can see in the picture above.


In some places there was still quite a bit of snow as you can see in this picture.


I hope everyone enjoys these pictures. If you want to see more pictures, let me know. I'll post again when I get a chance.
