Day 2 in Yellowstone

June 20, 2014  - Day 2 in Yellowstone

This was a nice day for a pretty drive.  It was very cold in the higher elevation, but the sun came out and it was perfect for sightseeing. 

This picture of the Valley was taken out

my car window

Gibbon Falls, Small but still pretty

  It was a lot busier than when we were here last year, but that’s to be expected since school is out.  Most travelers are very courteous so that makes it still enjoyable.  We drove a 50 mile loop in the North Entrance section of the park. We left home at 8:30a.m. and didn't make it back until 5:15 p.m.

Just some pictures taken on our drive

The scenery changes all the tiime

The beautiful stones colored by the geysers

as we leave a viewing area parking area

Tower Falls

We saw lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife and that was wonderful.  God’s many creations are amazing and we have been blessed to have the ability to see them.   Once again, it’s picture time, so just enjoy:

King of the Mountain

This is a little one way road off the beaten path

and it's called "Black-tail Plateau Drive

The rock formations were awesome

After crossing the bridge and entering some meadows

we found some wildlife.

He doesn't look to friendly

Further down the main road, the bison, and if

you look in the wood triangle up the mountain

a little, you see another bear.

They always seem to know you are watching

This is the Petrified Tree still standing in the park

Our next stop, Ton hiked the 3 mile trail  up the mountain and

took these pictures while on that trail.

He stopped here because he didn't want to go in the deep

snow without proper footwear.

This animal is a 

Yellow-Bellied Marmot

After this beautiful walk, we were driving down the main road

and saw this Coyote and it looks like he found

something to eat that carries in his mouth.

This made for another great day

And back to our little home to leave in the morning for a new place
