Back from Yellowstone and the Tetons, a true "bucket list" trip, more than we could have ever imagined. I would love to post every picture, but I'll try to stick to the real highlights, and there were many.
 |
Jackson Airport is inside the Tetons, north of Jackson, To step out of the plane and see THIS
is to give you s taste of the wonders you are about to see.
|
 |
You drive north on Rt. 89, and to your left, for miles, is the overwhelming grandeur of the
Tetons. You drive north until you go into Yellowstone Park

| Susan enjoying lunch with the ultimate view. |
 |
| Lake Lodge |
 |
| Susan, our rental Ford, and cabin G8 |
 |
| Roomy, comfortable, convenient to the whole park. |
 |
Our routine was the same through out the trip. I would be up at 5 or 6, and drive to see what I could see.
I would stay out until 9 or 10, and come back for breakfast with Susan. A photographer's light always waited for me.

| My first wildlife, a Mule Deer |
 |
| Trumpeter Swan |
 |
| The Mud Volcano area. |
 |
| Back to breakfast with Susan, Lake Lodge |
 |
| Red-tailed Hawk, on the way to West Thumb Geyser area. |
 |
| Bison seem to love the yellow line. |
 |
About 500 Bison Burgers. There is a very scary video on youtube of a Bison tossing
a tourist up in the air about 40 feet.
|
 |
West Thumb Geyser Basin, fascinating, dangerous ( a young man stepped off the boardwalk recently,
and died from his burns).
|
 |
Yellowstone is a caldera of a erupted volcano, that is also about so many thousand years overdue
to erupt again! The magma chamber underground evidently would fill the Grand Canyon
15 times.
|
 |
| Beautiful and still dangerous |
 |
| Fascinating landscape. |
