Northern Yellowstone

Hi All,

Sandy did a great job picking lodgings for this trip. This is the view of the Yellowstone River from our cabin!


Today we traveled across the northern part of the park in search of waterfalls and wildlife.

First waterfall was Undine Falls just east of Mammoth.

Next was Tower Falls.

and the gorge above Tower Falls.

Back in Mammoth we saw Liberty Cap, the cone from an extinct soda spring.

As we walked towards the lower terraces we spotted this killdeer walking and feeding on the travertine terraces.

Here are some newly formed terraces with brown thermophilic algae in the hotter water up too.

We saw lots of wildlife today but none very photogenic (except the killdeer). We saw two black bears, a glimpse of a grizzly, elk with calves, pronghorn, mule deer and a red fox.

In the late afternoon Sandy was captured by some Florida wildlife.
Another great day.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
