This gives you an idea of the devistation from the huge forest fire that hit Yellowstone a few years ago. I do like that the park isn't "cleaned up" but that the public is allowed to see the extent of the damage from the fire and realize how long it takes for nature to recover. But it can recover. We may not survive the damage we do to our planet, but it will find a way to go on. And thank goodness it does.
I like this one because it gives you some idea of the size of this place. At times were were 7 - 8 thousand feet above sea level and there were still things towering over us.
This is just one of several people we saw fishing in the lakes and rivers of Yellowstone.
This is the bull elk we saw. There were several cars pulled off on the side of the road to watch him. By the time I got my camera out, he had started to run away from us.
This is the Roosevelt gate at the North entrance.
Bridgete's camera is far better than mine and she got some great photos, so I'll let her share those with you.
